Second branch of this BDSM/fetish-themed bar is the hard gay hang out in town. Super design in black and red with bar and table seating. No smoking inside. Lot's of play spaces including racks and restraints, dark area, and jail cell. The bartender is excellent and making stiff drinks is his cocktail philosophy, including some inventive Absinthe concoctions. On the 3rd Sat of each month they throw their specialist D Day parties. Recent themes have included Mummy, Dogs & Trainers, Torture the Captive, Boots & Sneakers. Have your safeword prepared. The first gay bar in Taipei to have a no-smoking policy (smokers go out on the stairwell or outside to smoke). The crowd is generally younger, with a few people up to their early 40s as well. Open daily from 9:30pm until 3am on weeknights and 5am on weekends. Dark room is open on Fri and Sat.

Pandas (Asian bears) and monkeys (chasers) take note: this chub and bear-popular tea drink stall has a bar, sidewalk seating and a 2/F aircon bear den upstairs. They serve jumbo, non-alcoholic drinks in oversized jars and pitchers which make the pandas and chubs look even cuter. Open M-F 11am-midnight, Sa/Su 12:30pm-midnight.

This heritage cultural complex houses is a de facto gay shopping center with more than a dozen LGBT and queer-friendly bars and shops. To get there take the Metro to Ximen Station Exit 1, and it's right in front of you. There are two floors. G/F has a series of bars and restaurants starting with the BAD.TW gay shop and ending with the busy Sol bar. Between these you have a dozen rainbow establishments. And don't overlook the venues on 2/F. It is mainly al fresco and can get cold and wet in the winter, so wrap up well if you visit then. Some of the bars have no toilets and this means a walk to public bathrooms. Lively most nights and packed on weekends. The partying runs into the wee hours.
