[Kaohsiung Bar Recommendations] Enjoy a drunken night in Hong Kong City, 6 Kaohsiung restaurants and bars are rated

#A Hakka bar that adds plum dried tea to cocktails

Itata has been to Bar Dip many times and feels that this Kaohsiung bartending restaurant is really good. The bartending skills are strong and creative. You can see the store's care in every glass of bartending and every dish. Before coming to this Kaohsiung restaurant and bar, Itata had never thought that Hakka elements could be so coolly integrated with modern bartending.

The cocktail that impressed Itata the most was "Dip". Anyone who comes here must order this drink! What is just brought to the table is a glass of clear and transparent liquid, and then the bartender will drop in the butterfly pea flowers. As the blue slowly develops, the gradient and blue ripples penetrate the entire glass of wine. Each glass of wine has a unique appearance, just like Like a flowing animation. This glass of wine is not ostentatious, it tastes great too! The wine taste is not heavy, with a bit of fruity aroma but not too sweet. This drink is based on Hakka indigo dyeing. It is amazing no matter how many times I see it. It is one of the few drinks that can be described as "complete in color, aroma and taste".

In addition to drippings, the "Sansheng Soup" which requires you to grind your own sesame powder, the sweet and salty "Dongdonglong Dongdong" which combines ragzi sauce and winter melon, and the "Yelu" which tastes like taro and sago dew are also good. , well worth a try. It’s natural to pair wine with delicious food. Bar dip, a restaurant in Kaohsiung, serves fish, chicken, pork and other different meats. Itata highly recommends the “Southern Man’s Vegetable Chicken”, which is a sublimated version of salty crispy chicken, especially Bar dip. The special dipping sauce is so delicious that Itata licks the plate, which is terrifying.

If you want to run a bar in Kaohsiung, I really recommend Bar dip, a Hakka-style bar. The mixology and meals here will definitely amaze you!

#Creative mixology combined with tarot cards

Itata had dinner with friends near Dayuanbai last time and wanted to have a drink, so she came to Bar Doorlight to order a drink. Although this Kaohsiung bar is in a small alley, it is not difficult to find. There is only one restaurant with bright lights on the entire street. From outside the store, you can see the excitement and hustle and bustle in the store. The bartenders, service staff, and guests are all mingling together and looking very happy.

I have to say that the soundproofing is very good, and the inside and outside of the store seem to be different worlds. As soon as you enter the store, a service staff will ask if you have a location, take your seat, pour water, and introduce the menu. Finally, you can use the QR code to order. Itata didn't know what to drink that day, so she asked the bartender As.

Asi was very attentive in asking us about our favorite flavors, whether strong, light, sour, or sweet, all of which can be adjusted according to our mood and preferences. It is very customized. After the bartender's recommendation, we chose Xiaochun Meiyu and Fool, and for the meal we chose truffle fries, cheese ham party, and diced German sausage cheese as side dishes to accompany the wine.

The base of Xiaochun Meiyu is a combination of tangerine peel plums and gin bubbles, with lily leaves and olive slices placed on top. The taste is sour and sweet, refreshing and appetizing. The Fool is the one in the tarot card, and the whole glass of wine symbolizes the Fool’s innocence. Xie, uses vodka, orange, rose, white cocoa, and floating milk caps garnished with rose petals. It is a very romantic drink, but it does not taste too sweet. The food part is also very good, the portions are not too big, but they are very drinkable.

The specialty of Bar Doorlight is the Tarot card series of bartending. The bartender As has been engaged in Tarot divination for more than ten years and has a deep understanding of Tarot, so he combined this concept with the Tarot cards. Behind every glass of wine is It’s really interesting to have your own story!

Overall, Bar Doorlight has a very strong bartender, very creative mixology, and a warm environment. It is perfect for a date or a gathering with friends. How can you miss such an interesting bar! Itata strongly recommends everyone to come here for a drink.

#The only Japanese meditation bar in Taiwan

Itata had dinner with her colleagues that day, and stopped by a few bars. Finally, she came to Bar Iki. She was still dubious when she walked into the alley. Finally, she found this bar in an inconspicuous place, and luckily she didn't make a reservation. In case of being the last group of guests at the last scene.

As soon as you enter the bar, you can smell the fresh and refreshing smell in the air, which is the aroma prepared by the bartender Toku. At the same time, when I saw the interior decoration, it looked very Japanese. There was also a wine cabinet behind the bartender. There were many Japanese wines and they were neatly arranged. It felt super professional at first glance. When Itata and her colleagues sat down together, the service staff brought snacks and hot towels, which was really considerate, just like going to an izakaya.

Most of the bartending at Bar Iki is a Japanese twist on classic bartending. The bartending style focuses on aroma balance, which is in line with Itata's favorite bartending mix. Yi Tata and my colleagues ordered 3 drinks that day. Because the names of the drinks were mostly in Japanese, I couldn’t remember them clearly. Basically, I chose the drinks based on conditions such as no milk, no matcha, medium or heavy alcohol, no vodka, etc. Also ordered a Basque cheesecake.

Itata was very impressed by this Basque cheese cake. It is liquidy in the middle, rich and sweet. It is really sinful to eat this at night, but it is delicious, but you will still feel tired after eating too much. It is recommended Just right for 2 people to share.

Let me tell you the conclusion directly. This bar is a must-visit! Japanese style, Zen bartenders, just watching Toku bartenders mix drinks and stir is super healing, with the no-nonsense spirit of Japanese craftsmen. The point is that the wine is delicious, with layers, personality, and a sense of wine. If it hadn't been the third stall that day, I would have ordered all the wines on the list. It's a pity that I couldn't drink the matcha series, so I had to I’ll leave you with some thoughts and hope that after seeing Itata’s sharing, you can help me drink it and complete my unfinished dream.

#SpeakyEasyBar hidden in a phone booth

Itata and her colleagues used Google Maps to arrive at the entrance of the store. Both of them were very confused. Where is the store? It turned out that we had to make a phone call first, and it was still an old-fashioned landline. It took us three attempts before we finally succeeded. The moment the basement door opened, it really felt like an adventure.

The stairs are a bit dark, so be careful when walking. When we arrived at the basement, we were greeted by the nightclub style, which was a bit uncomfortable. Then a service staff came to show us a table. But we didn’t do our homework before coming and didn’t know that we couldn’t wear sandals, so the service staff saw that Itata’s colleague was wearing sandals and asked him to change to a pair of shoes (ugly sneakers). That day, Itata wore root shoes. Sandals don't matter, I don't know what the standard is.

After we were seated, the service staff asked us to scan the QR code to read the menu, and then ordered from them. We ordered two cocktails, one with berry flavor and one with a slightly heavier flavor. But it's a pity that neither of the two glasses of wine tasted very good to us. Basically only the first sip was ok, and the more we drank, the worse it got. The berry-based cocktail tastes too sweet and gets greasier the more you drink it; the heavier drink has no layers of flavor. When the ice cubes melt and the body of the wine changes, it tends to become harder to drink.

In general, maybe Lil Gaz’s wine is not to the taste of Itata and her colleagues, and the overall atmosphere is more like a nightclub. The lights are so dim that you need to use your mobile phone to turn on the flashlight to see things. It’s really not used to it. If you haven’t tried it in Kaohsiung You can try out the Speaky easy bar, but I suggest you don’t have high expectations for the wine.

#Travel to a restaurant and tavern in the western cowboy era in one second

Itata came to Marley Saloon with friends this time. The front of the store is in the shape of an old American barn door. The overall color is wood. The color is consistent but low-key and dim. It is a bit confusing. It looks like a haunted house in Leofoo Village. Still a little afraid to come in.

Pushing open the door of the barn tavern and looking at the interior decoration, one immediately travels back in time to the American Great West. The decorations, furniture, flooring, and decoration all reveal a strong American country style. The overall atmosphere of the tavern is very atmospheric! On the same day, Itata was having fun with friends at this American restaurant, including truffle fries, New Orleans fried chicken wings, Mexican chicken cheese scones and other meals. For bartending, she chose Witch and Sunset Coaster, which are all popular on the Internet. Recommended must-try menu.

The opening of the witch's cocktail is very dazzling. This is the store's signature cocktail. The base is gin, with elderberry and green apple as floral notes. After that, burning Aibis is poured into the wine body, creating a mysterious blue flame, which makes people feel happy. We have a cool visual feast while drinking. We recommend that friends who come here for the first time order it! The base of the Sunset Speeder is gin, mixed with Taiwanese passion fruit and Earl Gray tea. It tastes sweet and warm, quite smooth and delicious, with a layered feel, and is sprinkled with romantic petals.

In terms of food, every dish is very good, basically no surprises. The most recommended one is the Mexican chicken and cheese scones. The chicken and cheese are blended together and grilled very deliciously.

Based on the overall evaluation, this Kaohsiung restaurant has a distinctive style, good mixology, and delicious food. It is very suitable for gatherings of many people. If you go to Pier 2 during the holiday, it would be great to come here for dinner directly!

#Nanyang resort-style restaurant near the art museum

The restaurant and tavern of Daisy villa is very tall and spacious, with smooth circulation. The appearance is very attractive. When I pass by it during the day, I feel that it has a kind of net beauty, but at night it takes on the noble atmosphere of a palace. As soon as Itata entered the store, he was impressed by the atmosphere of dining and drinking. The decoration and lighting were designed just right, making the entire bar feel like a party in Southeast Asia.

In addition to the indoor dining environment, Daisy also provides outdoor seating. The entire store is so photogenic that Itata couldn't help but let her friends take a lot of photos. The evening menu of this Kaohsiung restaurant is different from the daytime menu. In addition to many creative cocktails, there are also Japanese sake, whiskey, gin, sparkling wine, vodka, SHOT and other choices. The variety of drinks can be said to be quite rich.

What we ordered that day: Qingqing You and Me, Mei Shi Don’t Come, This Is Not a Mojito, and Pineapple Colada. If there are many people, you can order and drink them all, but don’t insist on the taste. After all, it is a restaurant and not a professional bartending bar. , the taste is smooth and delicious, Itata has given it.

I didn't originally plan to order so much food, but I was really addicted after eating it! Highly recommend the Best Supporting Platter, it's really great, the chicken, cheese sticks, and French fries are all great, and it's just right with wine and conversation.

If you want to have a fun night with friends, you can come to this restaurant. There are also many non-alcoholic drinks here. Friends who don’t drink can just enjoy the party style!
