GB Brewery Restaurant – Taipei HsinYi Store — Restaurant in Xinyi District

• Update * We happened to be near GBA Xinyi recently and decided to give it another try. Well, nothing has changed, except the food was worse. Maybe we'll try this location again next year to see if they can get their act together. In the meantime just go to the Zhongshan location - that GBA is operated by professional management and staff, unlike the Xinyi location. There were plenty of empty seats at the bar (at least.8 that I can see, including seats with other customers bags on them, yet I was told I need to wait for 15-20 minutes. The manager, Andrew, made all sorts of excuses about how people were waiting for those seats and the bartenders had not cleaned the area yet, but I showed him all those areas were clean - I'm still waiting and have not seen one person sit at the bar yet. And Andrew said it was GBA policy to allow customers sitting at the bar to take up two seats?! I cannot believe that is true!!!

GB used to be the "go-to" burger/pasta place in Xinyi. Unfortunately, it seems to have declined quite a bit over the years.

Hopefully enough negative reviews will cause some introspection at GB and they can remedy their decline. Until then, if in Xinyi you are better off at Chilis or The Diner for both...

Randomly stumble upon this bar restaurant beside 101 taipei. Basically it's very similar to Chilis or TGI friday s concept.

It has it's own unique set of beer ranging from light to hoppy and dark. Conveniently it has a tryout set for all 6 types of beers (100ml each) which is reasonable and a great start for those who has choosing disorder. From the taste of it it seems that its direct from tap without adding any water (80% of beer in my country added water to increase volume and profit margin).

Didnt really try the food as I'm just here for a drink. So conclusion the drinks are okay just...
