    The place is cozy and warm just like home. Staff provide warm hospitality and the service is excellent. There are multiple creative cocktails here and the decorations on the drinks are beautiful. Bartender is good at cocktails made by tea and can provide drinks based on your flavor. The taste of the cocktails is really good! Great bar for relaxing and drinking.

    Taste :4.4/5 Environment: 4.3/5 Service:4.6/5 OriginBAR is a hidden gem located in the heart of the bustling city. As you step inside, you are greeted by an elegant and chic ambiance that sets the tone for a delightful dining experience. The restaurant also has an impressive selection of tea style cocktails that are expertly crafted by their mixologists. The OriginBAR Signature Cocktail is a must-try, a refreshing and fruity drink that will tantalize your taste buds.

    Best hospitality, great bartenders and service staff. Stumbled onto this bar while heading to another bar and decided to give it a try. Walked in without reservation, got a bar seating. Dimly lit with cool vibes, yet it has a welcoming feeling. Minimum spending per pax. Ordered the classic Negroni and it was one of the best. Bartenders are knowledgable and friendly. We were served free shots of their tea infused alcohol, and served another Japanese whisky based shots when we were leaving. Definitely will come back!

    Origin was outstanding, thanks in part to standout staff members Blaire and Andy. The ambiance effortlessly merges modern and traditional aesthetics. The cocktails they recommended were nothing short of exceptional, both in presentation and flavor. Their expertise, combined with the bar's attention to detail, crafts an unforgettable experience.

    What a magnificent find! Very walkable from the MO and quite a gem, down a small alley off the main road. They specialize in tea cocktails, I had the Pou Chong Tea Cocktail for something less sweet. Perfect blend. I’ve had a decent amount of good cocktails in SF and this bar’s mix craft is definitely up there. Service is above and beyond. I think service levels in asia are generally quite high but the bartenders and servers here are incredibly friendly and helpful. Food was excellent as well, we got the dumplings fries and some linguine. Menu is expansive, there’s sure to be something to your tastes. Excellent little cocktail bar

    How have i haven’t written a review on this fantastic institution! I’m from Vancouver and Origin is one of my top 3 bars in Taiwan among all the well-known drinking places. Staffs are professional, friendly of course and they are aware of diverse kinds of drink. They make amazing drinks and customize your order towards your taste. The cocktail I had were light, fresh, fruity and unique from other bars. This place is cozy with perfect ambience where you are able to feel relaxed and comfortable. Great for friends and dates. Every time I visit Taipei, I will go to this place with my Taiwanese friends. The owner is super nice and sweet. My friend and I even made friend with him. He treats his customers and staffs as family and best friends with respect and gratitude. I can’t wait until next time visiting again when i’m back! Tips: Remember to book a reservation if you could! The space is limited so it’s best to save a spot prior to your arrival!

    Personally prefer food than tea cocktails. would like to recommend handmade potato chips and pan-roasted vegetables. We had three different tea cocktails. Most of them had a fruity flavor and the alcohol was a bit strong. There was also a noticeable bitterness in three cocktails, which personally guess may be caused by the way the tea was infused. There’re lively and noisy. They have a special activity at 9 pm on Friday.

    Great atmosphere and nice shots. The tea cocktails are special, do try them. Cute presentation, and the staff are sweet. Closes a bit early for a bar tho. Suitable for a nightcap or so. The price is pretty friendly too.

    Really enjoyed my time here at the Origin. Being treated with a shot of their tea liquor and when we left they also treated us with a shot of whiskey. The environment is very warm and cozy and staffs were friendly. I also loved their Gin Fizz!

  • 4/5 Kate S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere but a little bit dark inside. Tea-based cocktail was their house specials. They usually treated everyone with a shot of tea liquor (for free). There was a minimum of NT500 per person. Staffs were friendly but always remind customers that time is up.

    Walked in on a weekday night and got seated immediately. The lady boss had amazing service and hospitality, we exchanged conversation between English and Mandarin. Got treated to a lot of complimentary shots and ended up taking some free beer home too!
