Xinyi District, Taipei City｜Shuffle 酒吧

Great first time experience at Shuffle. The manager and the owner/bartender are professional and personable. Cocktails are done with flare, care, and unique twists. The noodles are delicate in flavor and full of umami. Free shots if you win a shuffle game. Shuffle!

This bar is an art, bartender/owner is a total artist. Love every cocktail shot we had, especially enjoyed the randomness of surprises. Amazed by how a shot can have such rich layers of taste, mixed those big name alcohols with Taiwanese touch. This is a total gem! We’ll be back!

If you find yourself in the Songshan neighborhood, or frankly anywhere in Taipei, and are looking for a really great little bar with interesting craft cocktails, you absolutely must make a beeline for this wonderful place. Although my lady love and I were definitely old enough to be the parents or even grandparents of pretty much everyone else there, we were made to feel so welcome and had a fantastic time. If you’re so inclined (or, like us, didn’t make a reservation), get one of the few precious seats at the bar to observe the bartender/owner Han work his mixological magic. He’s very creative in his creations, as well as very attentive to the presentation of those libations. I’d wager most don’t even pay such close attention to the way he accents each drink with fresh flowers or even color-coordinates drinks with glassware, but if you notice and appreciate such things, you’ll be well rewarded here. My baobei and I are already looking forward to our next visit, and Han even gave us a preview of what’s coming on the next iteration of his cocktail menu. Seriously, do yourself a favor and seek this place out. You’ll be glad you did! And sincere thanks to Han and Agnes for such a delightful evening!
