It is actually two parts: a cafe in the front with gourmet chocolate and premium coffee,
and a cocktail bar /speakeasy in the back with custom, well-crafted drinks.
I haven’t been to the cafe yet myself, as i’m in the USA currently, but I’ve seen the amount of work put into the design, the menu, the staff training, the philosophy, and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Website: http://ouncetaipei.com/
PS it’s not just for drinkers. The cafe in the front has really good chocolate and coffee, imported from NYC.
The back is more for drinkers These aren’t normal cocktails… they’re more works of art
finally one of their creeds is to not be pretentious and make everyone feel welcome. So don’t think like this is an uppity place, because it’s not. (or shouldn’t be)
Stopped in last night and was very impressed with the place. The owners are affable and the barman is a true craftsman. And the cocktails, well, I manned the wood for 15 years in a former life and never ran across such potent potables as Lee is concocting. An artisan of the spirits.
Ounce cocktail bar speakeasy moved to Xinyi Road. The front of the bar is a small coffee shop called Bittersweet and there’s a secret door to go into the cocktail bar named Ounce.
Bittersweet also serves some cocktails so it’s all good to go and they have outdoor seating.
