LION BAR

Lion Bar is a small bar in an alley below the Xinguang Cinema in Ximending, Taipei, serving cocktails and local beer. The bartender recommends drinks to match your taste and makes cocktails with kaoliang liquor, juice you pick yourself, and mint harvested on site. To find it, walk past World Gym and continue into the inner alley to the empty lot. The bartender explains the types and flavors of the drinks, and the small space means there are not many seats.
