So I’m a recent arrival in Taichung, and am wondering; where are the recommended places for foreigners to go? I really enjoy live (rock!) music and playing pool - are there any good foreigner-friendly places that support either of these activities?
Have visited The Londoner but found it has now shut down. Also been to Soho Street twice, which has Fubar and PJs Irish Pub. This whole road seemed very foreigner centric, but it seemed to be mostly young male sports fans (i don’t really like sports) and everyone was already sitting in groups - it’s quite scary to just join a table if you don’t know anyone! Also I didn’t see any Taiwanese there both nights I went - would be nice to go somewhere where I could actually mix with locals as well as ex-pats.
Anyway recommendations for good drinking establishments and live music venues please! Cheers!!
