The blond female bartender was not very polite. As soon as you get in, she tells you that you have to pay at least 300 TWD. No hello, or welcome. It felt very transactional. When customers asked for recommendations, she told them to check the menu and that only 2 beers are non-Taiwanese beers. No indication on taste etc..

Tip: on most days, the owner of the bar himself is there. He’s very friendly and welcoming — and he brings his...

We decide to venture out and ask some local people particularly from Ximen Taiwan we is a good place to chill. 3 of them highly recommended as to visit 94 ximen. When we got there the ambiance was perfect! The waitress welcome us in and was nice. Later, the good looking manager came quickly then introduced his beer and everything about it. We end up having one light beer and an IPA which he recommended us, and it was perfect and very fulfilling for both of us. We had a really cozy 2 hours stay. This place was not too loud. Customers are very chill in the bar. It's nice to relax yourself for a bid when you are traveling to Ximen. And just a friendly FYI, the manager is quite busy but he still run to the...
