My friends and I booked a table for the night, and it was communicated to us that we were expected to pay over NT2000 to be able to book a table. Since we were celebrating, we happily agreed. We knew that we would spend much more than that anyway. While we were having fun, dancing, smoking shisha, and only on our second drink of the evening, the owner came up to us, and said that we’re costing him money because we weren’t more people at the table. As paying customers, who have been ordering food and drinks, and were well within our budget, we found it considerably rude for the owner to walk up to us, blatantly ask “Who booked this table?” and then tell us, in his own words, that we (minding our own business, having fun). “are costing him money.” I am very displeased by this utterly rude service. I advice you go spend your money somewhere else with tastier drinks, a better dance floor, shisha that doesn’t taste like burnt water, and maybe service that doesn’t attack you while you’re just out having fun. Check out my profile, this is the first review I’ve given that aren’t 5 stars, trust me, it’s for a reason. (Did I mention that the 2000NT is on top of 400NT entrance each. This guy made more that 3000NT off of us and had the audacity to say that we’re the reason he’s losing money). No sir; you’re the reason we won’t be visiting again.

It was a terrible experience! I won’t recommend this bar to anyone. The service was really unacceptable, your reservation maybe accidentally cancelled for no reason and the staff may even try to blame it on you. After some “discussion” they were so unwillingly to provide us a table and told us to leave before midnight(it was already 23:00). Although a woman(seems like the manager) promised to find us another table after midnight, we were still warned by a male waiter that our shisha would be taken away after an hour since we had to leave after midnight. We then explained to him a woman already promised to find us another table, then he said “Then you have to talk to her by yourself.” WHAT?!!!At last the woman got us a tiny table, and one of us didn’t even get a chair and she had to stand all night. Conclusion: You can definitely find a nice shisha bar in Taipei with better service, shisha and drinks. The only good thing about this bar is the DJ, the music was nice.

  • Azhar Nazir

it was one the best night, pretty awesome ambiance . went there on friday(7th feb) with my latino friends .. I dont drink but went for shisha and dance .. me and my friends nailed the dance floor and later we got the sofa (table) for free when we order shisha .. I was surprised how they accommodated us I was not expecting that after reading reviews but wanted to try the shisha and place myself.. I would highly recommend if you are into shisha and clubbing best place in Taipei ... cant comment on drinks I was on soft drinks only ... . there was someone's birthday and we walk to them and sang for them and it made the BD celebration more awesome ...

  • 徐欣

Had a very terrible experience here. Basically we got a table as it’s my friends birthday. Everyone paid cash and got a lot of drinks from the bar. At the end they asked the birthday boy to pay for the full minimum charge for the table. We explained that we’ve paid a lot for the drinks and brought a beer(NT100) and water(NT100) to them, hoping they would at least deduct it from the final payment that we had to pay. But they just didn’t care. I’m just terribly sorry that it’s my friend’s birthday and this happened. It was just terrible.

  • Matthew Clarke

Perfect spot. Great place to chill and meet both locals and foreigners. Pretty girls, great bar staff, large size drinks and tasty cocktails, comfy lounge environment, big screen TV and flavoured Shisha hookah smoking. There is a small dance floor. DJ Rico is a legend with good music knowledge and plays a range of hip hop, reggaeton, Latin and Carribbean vibes and more and takes requests. Management and owner very friendly and welcoming. This was on a weekday. Each day is different. Weekends are busier, of course.

  • D. Brandon

It's great, if you are into Latin Music ,Hookah and Want to people watch. The vibe of the club used to be more lively and diverse , but it has nothing to actually do with the club, but more so the sounds and who is being catered to more. It's still a cool venue to attend,but not as frequent as some other establishments The best things about this club are the drink choices (though the strength has been watered down) the hookah selection and the late late lateness of the club.

  • Madison

Unsafe and filthy. Not only did I see rats in the bathroom and cockroaches on the "dance floor" but I also had a friend get something slipped into her drink here. I asked the workers for help and they not only refused to help but also tried to charge more money as my friend was laying on the ground struggling to breathe. Absolutely disgusting. PLEASE keep your friends away from this unsafe place. There are so many better, safer, and more fun places in Taipei.

  • Morgan Walker

It was a very nice experience! the staff was very accommodating and they kept their word when they were trying to find us a table to reserve for the night. the staff was very attentive if you needed anything they came over quite often to ask if you wanted anything else, if you needed anything and the music was really good. The the DJ was great and me and my friends wound up staying out until about 5:00 a.m. just dancing and enjoying the night.

  • Morgan Hewett

Horrible service and overpriced. Waited 45 minutes for our shisha. Staff is very rude. Ladies- this place is SO cold. It’s impossible to feel sexy when you are freezing your butt off. The entrance fee is a scam. They told us that with our drink tickets we could get any drink but that was not true. I couldn’t even get a vodka Red Bull. Not a good vibe at all. Nothing authentic about this place. It’s stuffy and there is no good music.

  • Jonathan

The owner randomly told me "Don't talk to this girl", when I hadn't even said a word to him and the girl. He then proceeded to kick me out. Something similar happened to another friend of mine few years ago too. Apparently the owner seems to run this place like a dictatorship and decides who you can talk to and can't. I met the son of the owner outside, very nice guy. He just seemed to be used to it and disappointed in his father.

  • Manuel Heilmann

Terrible place. Loud music that prohibits having any conversation. Some of the guests look more like drug dealers, the place can be empty but if you don’t show up in a group then you only get a bar stool although there are plenty of couches available. I did insist on a couch and after I promised to spend 1500 NT they gave it to me. Normally that’s acceptable and understandable but not when the space is completely empty.

  • Shari Flo

It was fun! My girls and I really did enjoy ourselves. The staff were super nice and friendly throughout the night. I tried the drink called “Young Girl” it was good. Not a smoker so the cigarettes were a bit turn off for me. I came out smelling like I’ve been smoking couple packs but I enjoyed. Highly recommended! If you do hookah, they have that. Oh and the food is delicious also

  • Jenn

Very unique bar for Taipei. Standard collage bar drinks menu. Bartenders might have been new on the job as they seemed stressed and took a while to get us our drink orders. Live Brazilian music the night we went. Loads of groups huddled around reserved tables smoking hookah. Groups of people stuck together, so not really a place to mingle. A good place to hang out with just only your crew.

  • Magna Gopal

Nice hookah spot. Hookah itself was very good, especially the banana and mint flavor. Service was a bit lacking. Waitress took forever to come and ask what our table wanted. But the food was worth it. Everything ordered tasted good. If only the staff was a little more attentive, especially to the hookah in terms of changing coals and checking to see if they were smoking OK.

  • Alijandro Ghaznavi Rassouli

First of all a very good and reasonable price! Great combination of elegant and traditional decoration, A first class food and beverages, cheaper drinks than most of places in city! The only recommendation is to call and reserve a table just to be sure you will have a place to sit(a very good English speaking management)! Overall I love the food there!

  • A Chang

I was having really high hopes for this place but disappointed. I ordered a lamb wrap and there wasn’t much flavor as expected and the lentil soup was a bit tasteless. So far I just had the take out so we’ll see if my review changes after I order more. I would give it another shot and see as there isn’t much Persian restaurants in taipei.

  • Tammy Wik

300 Taiwanese Dollars cover charge, which seemed a little expensive, but comes with 2 drink vouchers. Nice, hookah-smoke filled atmosphere. Couches were all full and dancefloor was small, but started filling up as night continued. Music was okay -- guess the DJs change regularly. Easy to get a taxi at 2am right out front.

  • Sagar Chavan

must visit this hangout place. specially on weekend. a good service, crowd is also good and you get variety of hookas here with great variety of alcohol and you get best Dance floor here. must visit here once you are in Taiwan. also if you are on weekend here then you can get chance to see bellydance here.

  • Gemma Lopez

Me and and my friend, both international, got in for free, we didn't get a table but we didn't need it anyway!! It was a little bit crowded but we loved the reggaeton music plus there is a 7 elven right in the corner so convenient for having some alcohol if you want to go out for a really little money!!

  • Tiffany Quinn

Theres no unreserved table space. And only 7 or so seats at the bar. The bartender told us we’re not allowed to put our drinks down on the enormous bar because the whole area is his ‘working space.’ After a while of standing and holding our drinks another staff member came and physically moved us away.

  • Rob Coleman

Decent place. Normally a door charge, but includes a couple of drinks. Offer cocktails, beer, food, hookah, etc. Good music on most nights. Only complaint is they have a stingy policy on table reservations. You have to pay to sit at tables (which take up most of the floorspace) and the time is limited

  • The Foodie Architect

This is shisha place has some of unique flavors. Like banana mint. If you have a big group, it’s supper fun. Otherwise, it’s ok. I was hoping to see some belly dance, but the performance we had was not so great. Food is average. We had lots of fun because DJ is sensitive to play musics we love.

  • Marine Bgt

Entrance 400 for women and 600 for the guys but it s quite worth it cause you will have 2 free drinks with your entrance ticket. The music is very nice, the staff is friendly, you can order some drinks and food, just the place to dance is a but stuffy

  • C D

I have been in Taïwan for almost a month and this has been my only bad experience. The barmaid was arrogant, he said I had to wait for a table to order shisha, but 2 people got shisha at the bar before me. I am caucasian and I don’t speak…... 详情

  • Kaboré Nathanaël

Good hookah spot. Hookah is very good, especially the mint flavor. This place have a good service and Waitress is respectful! Everything ordered tasted good. The staff was attentive. I have a good experience and I also recommend this place!

  • Martin Hendrikx

This is a really cool shisha bar and club. It has a small dance floor, and often there are live belly dancing performances before people get to dancing. They have snacks and great drinks as well as a really great location.

  • Celine Lorenza

Entrance fee 400 for girls, can be exchanged with 2 glass of beverages. Big glass of cocktails, vibe is lit, many foreigners. Latin music every Saturday. Will comeback for their english music vibe definitely

  • Aki

I think the place is more crowded after 2pm. But it would be a place to enjoy with a group of friend with a table. Not much place offers water cigarette. Alcohol price is so much decent compare to Xinyi area.

  • afsaneh sn

As a persian I can approve that the food is really similar to the food you get in Iran. Also great music, super nice staff and specially Mr amini the owner is really cool and a great host. Highly recommended!

  • Maria Gabriela Alfaro

Be sure to make a reservation for a table if you want to try out the hookah if you don't they serve it on the bar and it's very uncomfortable. This place has a very small dance floor which really sucks.

  • Kristin Foss

The music is usually decent and the food is better than you would expect. The shisha is good. The service isn't. The arrogance of the employees is also pretty weird- it's a club in Taipei, not Paris.

  • Andy

Friday and Saturday entrance fee too expensive for its size and location... Brass monkey, it's competitor, charges half the price and includes a Corona with that and it's actually bigger...…... 详情

  • Chin Kai Hu

The place mostly plays Latino musics, mainly crowded so I recommend to reserve a booth if you want to have a place to sit. The pole dancers were sexy and hot. Price is affordable and reasonable.

  • Nicolle Alejandra Wood Martinez

Is very nice club the grape shisha is good and the drinks are really good too every Saturday they have latin night and also the table is just 3000 ntd and are for consumption is really good

  • Mike Wu

Great vibes. Drinks are reasonable and the servers are attentive. Getting food and hookah can be slow when there are a lot of pizza. Food was actually pretty good. Lot of expats/foreigners

  • Кравец Роман

The atmosphere is great! It's really crowded, but people are so nice and funny! Alcohol is good, but it's very fast become diluted (because of ice). I'm going to go visit this place again!

  • Jonathan Cuffe

I had a great time, crowd was lively, not trying to pose and show off, just dancing, it was busy because it was halloween, no issues with staff or security being unreasonable.or moody.

  • 陳韋良

I stay with my girlfriend and friends , there was good music and nice drink , also open a VIP lounge ,just 2000 , its very decent money , and you can see many friendly foreigners here

  • Janminh Ly

Always a good atmosphere in this beautiful establishment, warm welcome from the staff, the prices are reasonable, and their lamb shawarma!, so good. I will come back again and again.

  • 簡捷

The hookah is the worst I’ve ever had. And the waiters there are even worse. Don’t come here, seriously. The high rating is fake. They just ask all the customers to leave 5 stars.

  • Ibrahim BARRO

You’re the owner doesn’t mean you have to disrespect your clients. Every client has an equal right and keeps your business running. Remember you are nothing without them. Peace!!

  • Asen Liu

The entrance fee isn't too expensive, plus it comes with a few vouchers for drinks. I dont know what they put in the cocktails, but youre guaranteed to have a good night here.

  • Mickiela Kier

Best hookah I’ve had in Taipei city, the atmosphere is chill and the service during midweek was excellent. The wings are also tasty and the drinks were large for the price.

  • Alcibiades Gonzalez (孔安爾)

Este es uno de los mejores lugares para salir en una noche en Taipei... Sus BBQ estan riquisimos y las shishas tambien... Ponen musica latina y arabe. Recomendado!…... 详情

  • esther Chao

Because we tried hookah for the first time. The waiter taught us very enthusiastically. This is a relaxing place. Appointment in advance is better…...

  • 賴瑋萱

Good vibes,highly recommend. The bartenders notice every details at customers! Everyone all should come here once and experience it! We had a wonderful time here!

  • Frankie Hullett

Good place off the general edm party grid in Taipei. They have a nice mix of hip hop and Latin music with great drinks deals and cheap entry. Also great shisha!

  • 高奕安 Yarel Andrina Ramírez Garrido

Music is good on Saturday nights but the service is not good, the entrance door was so rude with one of our friends. Lot of old people and smells to cigarette.

  • Lukáš Hulínský

Good vibe, good food, corona for 100NTD. Little bit annoying is ticket system. Coupons can’t be used for minimum spending limit for tables. Food is pricy.

  • Marnelle Castillo

The vibe was great! I went on a saturday night, when they should have latin n afro night. They play more Latin than afro beat or Caribbean music though.

  • Rob Adams

Had to leave early due so much cigarette smoke. It would have been a better experience if non-smoking laws were enforced.…... 详情

  • Fundación Residentes Latinos En Taiwán

The best Latin,Caribbean and International music DJ's. Great food and friendly environment. A safe place for ladies to hangout.

  • Nivedita Singh

It was a good experience, really enjoyed the desi beats. The staff is very helpful, and the ambience has the vibes.

Super weird entrance rules. Friends for free, everyone else has to pay. Don’t come here, 101 area so much better

气氛不错,音乐不错,服务一般。吧台小哥哥有点爱搭不理的眼神。水烟有点烧喉,估计是碳的品质问题。建议来之前订个沙发座。
