City North

City North is a bar that feels out of this world. Being that this is my second trip to Taiwan this year and this being my second time visiting the bar, I’m in love. The atmosphere and ambience is second to none, and I’ve met some of the most amazing mixologists I have in my life.

I recommend coming here during the day for their speciality coffee cocktails as they are unbeatable here in Taipei. With being a non-coffee drinker myself, I couldn't believe how amazing each creation brings to the table with flavor.

Hands down my favorite bar here in the city and I only hope I get the chance to visit during the night before I head back home.

10/10 across the board!

Tucked away from the streets is this chill coffee cocktail bar. Great atmosphere for an evening chill. Cocktails are very well concocted and flavours come together rather well.

We love all the variations we had. I’d recommend dropping by.

Love at the first sight! Historical building with tons of vintage stuff, quiet alley, calm spirit. There is something so soothing to be here. As you walk up to the the building, the magic unfold. The moment that you open the door, the air fill with this aroma that’s mix with woody and tea roasting and maybe something else, it really invites you in to a different world. Classic jazz lightly lingered in the background, dimly lit light, it take you right back in time. Cocktail itself is also delicious, it’s just a lovely moment for us! Thanks for taking care of all the details so we get to escape our busy life for a drink of time!

After climbing the stairs of the interior patio of an old historical building in the old town, you will find yourself in front of a dimly lit café-bar peaking behind a set of inside windows. The theme of the establishment is classy and old-fashioned with its dark wooden furniture, leather seats, and well presented and polite staff. They have a very big menu of coffee-flavoured cocktails that sadly I hadn't had the chance to try yet as it was too early in the day. Their tiramisu is one of the best in town, and the Espresso Tonic had the perfect balance of flavours and was the perfect refreshing drink to start the afternoon. If you come to 小城外CityNorth in the evening, it will feel more like a warm and cosy speakeasy style bar. It is definitely worth to try it at different times in the day.

Visited here at 1pm on a Saturday, the location is kinda hidden but not super difficult to find. Vibe was super chill, and the decor was very classy. I don't really drink coffee but even I can tell that the coffee quality is good. I didn't try the coffee cocktails since it was still early but will definitely give it a try next time.

quaint little cocktail bar which serves many nice cocktails. I had to come back twice to try more. their tiramisus are good! wonderful service staff 😄

I really enjoyed the ambience of the place, it's fairly unique and easy to chat over a few drinks at night.

The interior courtyard has a vintage Taiwanese appearance and the area all around the bar itself maintains a very comfortable and relaxing antique feel.

I came here with the friend who recommended the place to me, and we decided to try a couple of their signature cocktails:
The first was a tasty, but smooth sake-based cocktail with a peach flavor. It was light but still had plenty of alcohol for the price.

The second was a somewhat strong, gin-based apple and cinnamon cocktail. If you've ever wanted to drink apple pie and get buzzed, this is a good choice. My friend couldn't finish it because it was a little too strong for her, so I helped.

Overall, the cocktails were fantastic. Will definitely come again to try some of their coffee and dessert.

innovative cocktails, excellent coffee.
make sure to taste their tiramisu (I recommend to order them, when you call to book a table).
not only with a very cosy atmosphere for a cocktail or a drink in the evening, but also a very calm and cosy place for an afternoon tea or a drink with friends in the afternoon.

Friendly hidden bar with cool atmosphere. You might miss it as it’s hard to find - on the second floor! It’s open even when it looks closed! They don’t serve food after 9pm! Be aware of that.

The cocktails, bartending and ambience are stupidly good. Some of the best cocktails I've ever had, and I would gladly hand over all my money if they just had a later closing time.

Bar atmosphere feels cozy and warm.
Whiskey plus water is not on the menu, but bartender could help to prepare if being requested.
No snacks.
Worth coming !

Quiet, cozy and relaxed place to have a drink. Coffee-based cocktail was pretty awesome! Bartenders were also nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

Best Tiramisu of my life. And I ate a looooooot of Tiramisu in my life. The place is so cozy and the staff so nice and professional. Second time here, highly recommend. A hidden gem in Taipei to try wonderful whole new flavours.

One of the best bar in Taipei for sure!! Enthusiastic yet professional bartender is definitely the soul of this boutique bar!

Coffee is perfectly made and it hit me just right 🤩🤩🤩 We also ordered a passion fruit tart it looked simple but tasted more than we expected! You’re gonna love here ❤❤❤

A place u can trust that u will have a good time.

Don’t get too close with the bartender. They will get u drunk

Enjoyed the hospitality here, as visiting from New Zealand the staff were so welcoming, friendly and drinks were a delight.

A cozy and tranquil warm bar with special coffee-based cocktail. The bartender is helpful, overall experiences is good.

Had a lovely afternoon here. The coffee cocktail, coffee cocktail tiramisu and latte are amazing. Would definitely visit again whenever in this area.

Great service, cosy atmosphere. Loved the recommendations made by the bartender.
