B52 is a bit dodgy and even I avoid it!
Barrio Fiesta is OK as is Christines which is located behind St Christophers Church at the top of the street and in a large cellar…I heard that Romeo’s has reopened on Linsen North Road which was OK before.( Near Malibu West) Again in a cellar.
If you are new to the area I suggest The Farmhouse and the pub opposite.
Is B-52 good on Sundays and what time?
Any other good places to just hang out late Sunday afternoon into evening?
I was in the neighborhood today, and googled where I might be able to get a beer and some pub food for lunch, and a break from the nearly 37 degree heat. When I got there, I kind of chickened out, since it was abluster with middle aged Filipinos dressed to the 9s and more of a dinghy, dark, vibe --that is to say, felt more like a second Saturday Night–than a good place to quietly eat my lunch.
I have to say, I’m intrigued by the neighborhood and I’d like to go back sometime, but it certainly wasn’t what I was expecting from a Sunday afternoon.
Dressed to the 9s, because Sunday is the only day off, for most of them, to have fun, etc.
Perhaps another day of the week and the place will be rather mellow.
Thanks for checking and reporting!
I don’t mind a Saturday on a Sunday afternoon sometimes but not sure about the “middle aged Filipinos” part.
Malibu West a good western style place to hang out daytime or nighttime in the area with good food and drinks. Patina next door I hear has better food but less vibe.
That is what I learned yeah. Not really a problem, I was just thrown by all the English named bars and taverns. I was not surprised that it used to be a famous expat part of Taipei, though that vibe seems to have entirely drifted to more of a Little Manilla.
The way I’ve heard about the “Combat Zone” area is it was
It’s too bad that this area or some area can’t be encouraged to be a entertainment area like all other major cities or countries in Asia have. Taipei has no pedestrian area for adults to go out at night and stroll around and hop from restaurant to pub to dancing… In Taipei, it’s all a taxi to the next spot.
I agree a designated pedestrian zone would nice. Also B52 is very much a rip off - avoid at all costs
Anyone have any suggestions on Sunday afternoon bars and clubs in Taipei, Taoyuan, Zhongli?
How about central and south like Taichung, Kaohsiung, Tainan?
Taoyuan Thai OK bar and others near train station not open.
Some people suggested Zhongli. Still don’t know where to go in Zhongli on Sundays. Checked a few times already.
Taoyuan and Zhongli, Sunday afternoon and evening happening. Clubs around train stations.
Taipei these days?
Maybe you should check out this place 
Ha that place has been on my list since I arrived.
Sunday Funday?
I’m not the youngest but I’m guessing most people there are older than me. And they are dancing Ballroom not rubbing pelvises like salsa or something
Mass, mosque, temple, disco
make love in a short time room risko
don’t miss the train
or may not see him or her again…
Zhongli is not wrongly
on Sunday afternoon-ee
