    We went on Friday night from 10:30pm-12:30pm. We only got one drink for free even though I read that it was All You Can Drink online. Our drinks were watery and they put ice in my beer. They just announced the legalization of same sex marriage in Taiwan so I was hoping for a huge crowd. 10:30pm It was very empty and there was no DJ. 11pm DJ finally began. I think the music was better before the DJ started. 11:30pm more people began to show up, probably to get cheaper cover 12pm only a few people on the dance floor dancing but the club is actually getting quite full Full of young women and locals. I didn’t see any foreigners, at least that I know of.

    Had so much fun with my friends from different countries and bartenders were so friendly. Had couple of free shots too. Music here is also quite fun cause they don’t play something too deep or too club like. You can easily talk to other people in the club too.

    Place definitely has his own atmosphere, similiar to european gay bars I've been.in Berling and Russia. Tiny, smokey, questionable music - will be more fun if you go there with your big company or often visitor and can dig the atmosphere. Drinks cannot be good in such places

    As spot my Taiwan friends took me. Park dancing is also famous in town. Have tried Tai Chi, pushing hands and some self defence types like Aikeydoe at Uni Like to try more advanced here but will stick with country line dancing at Rec Bowl in town for now!!

    I went here once on a Friday with some American friends. Paid 500 NT for unlimited drinks. Drinks were ok but nothing to rave about. Other reviews say the music is bad here but we went on a Kpop-themed night so I liked all the music. Pros: The crowd is really friendly. After one drink I had a lot of fun dancing with my friends and 1 or 2 locals. I threw up in the bathoom around 3am and a girl asked me if I was okay (much appreciated). When my friends and I went outside we chatted with a group of locals from out of town, their English was really good! If you can't speak Mandarin you should be fine. Cons: Layout is awkward. I wanted to sit down but was told the large seating area was all reserved, but I didn't see anyone sitting there the entire night... (12:30-3am) The stools along the wall facing the dance floor are very sparse, most people are by the bar or hugging the wall if they're not dancing. Bar was kinda crowded, bartenders were a bit curt. I know smoking in bars and clubs are normal in Taiwan but the smoke is HEAVY in here. Probably won't come back because I'm not into clubbing, but for a lesbian nightclub this place is not terrible.

    This lesbian bar is amazing. I'll definitely come back. There are a lot of activities to engage in every week. Also, they welcome everyone, even I'm not a lesbian, but they showed me great hospitality! Highly recommended!

    Great atmosphere, it was pretty quiet when I visited,mid week. Kind of a speakeasy vibe. Great whiskey, lighting was on point. Good music. They even have a dart board. Very friendly bartenders too. They have food but I didn't try any, though it all looked great! One of my favorite spots in Linkou.

    It is 800NTD entrance fee, all you can drink. You can dance, chat, and enjoy yourself. The day we went was pretty quiet but it’s because it was raining that night. The vibe is great music is okay and drinks were good. I’m an extreme light weight so the drinks were just fine for me, but perhaps for heavy weights, it would seem like they’re drinking water. They had a cool event and it was pretty entertaining. The only downside is that booths are reserved so you’d have to be standing the whole time unless you go outside and sit on the stairs to take a breather otherwise expect your legs to be hurting if you’re wearing high heels.

    The dance area was very small. The music was ok.

  • 3/5 Tony L. 4 years ago on Google
    Ok nightclub. Music and DJ were okay but towards the end of the night I found that the drinks are becoming more and more watered down.... A big no no

    The alcohol there is like water, service is very bad, the whole club is filled with strong smell of smoke. Even if this is the only lesbian nightclub in taipei, i'd never go again.

👍👍 We came at the first minute and there’s already a queue! But no need to wait too long and TOTALLY worth it! First of, we have the most famous 油飯, the sticky rice is awesome and delicious! Traditional Taiwanese food, reasonable price and good flavor! Then we have 滷味. Please, just give everything...

😐 Ok, I get it. It’s next to a nerdy university and is suppose to be popular with kids. Our server was cute and friendly, most importantly she’s wearing mini skirt. My problem with it is we dropped by in a Friday night and they charged us NT500 per person to get a table. Then we realized there’s no go...
