R & D Cocktail Lab

Hidden away in a quiet alley near the Keelung and Xinyi Rd intersection, the relocated, still very hip R&D Cocktail Lab hides in plain sight behind a gray wall.

Once the enfant terrible of Taipei's burgeoning cocktail bar scene, R&D is still one of the highest rated spots in town,and their new location is constantly frequented by a trendy crowd of locals and foreigners.

The reasons to visit are simple: Experience some of the most refreshing,sophisticated yet unpretentious alcoholic concoctions in Taipei, while enjoying the elegant ambience so synonymous with this bar.

Fronted by an expert team of French and Taiwanese mixologists behind the bar, R&D Cocktail Lab infuses most of their cocktails with fresh local ingredients, creating a fusion of The Best of East meets West wherever possible. The staff are highly attuned to their clients' taste buds, and will create a drink for you based on your preferences.

Whether your aim is to unwind after work, get hammered with friends, have a quick bite to eat or go on an intimate date, R & D Cocktail Lab is a Taipei bar where the drinks always come first.  Highly recommended.
