Nightlife:

The best nightlife is found in Anho Rd in East Taipei (most recently developed commercial district) and the older Shi Men Ding or West Side. Restaurants tend to open early, from 1800 until 2130, but with no licensing limits many bars are open until 0200-0400, and some all night. Shao yen or snack bars in night life areas are popular on the way home.

Anho is scattered with bars and restaurants, including the Champagne Bar, 169, AnHer Road, Section 2, a lounge bar with sofas for a wealthy clientele, American-style Carnegies, 100, AnHo Rd, Section 2, with good rock music popular with expats and dancing on the bar at midnight! Across on Tun Hwa Road, Section 3 is Apartment which, modeled after a house, is private and discreet.

Shi Men Ding has an olde worlde atmosphere with lots of tiny little bars and atmospheric tea and coffee houses in its narrow alleys and traditional night markets.

As far as clubs go, the latest place for the in crowd is MINT, B1, Taipei 101, 45 ShihFu Road, Hsin Yi District, in an open courtyard with an illuminated dance floor. Plush, Top floor, The Living Mall, Core Pacific City, 138, BaDe Road, Section 4, features International visiting DJs. Then, there is the Ministry of Sound, 310, LenQun 3rd Road.

Live music can be found in bars - good jazz can be found in Blue Note, 4F, 171, Roosevelt Road, Section 3, and Brown Sugar, 101, SongRen Road, but the most reliable music venue is in an old beer factory, Hua-Shan Music Hall, 2F, 1, BaDe Road, Section 1, featuring from classic to pop.
