Description: An indoor/outdoor bar run by two expats on Tainan's famous Hai-an Road. We have a constantly evolving beer selection and moderately priced cocktails, with bar/table seating both inside and outside, and a friendly, lively atmosphere. Good place for people-watching and meeting expats and locals.

Was brought by a taiwenese to this place after being thought i will prefer western bar. The bar setup is in ordinary side but the beers are fairly cheap, ordered a hotdog plate which taste normal as well. In my opinion, this is a not bad place to chill out with friends in tainan but do not expect surprises or excitement over here

A great place to have drinks and some of the most delicious food in Tainan. Their menu is short and sweet. I love the black bean burger and the chicken sandwich. The bartenders/owners are friendly and make excellent drinks.

We went here during Dragon-boat festival while walking around during the day. We checked on TripAdvisor for the nearest restaurant and this one came up. We also then realized it was one of the highest rated eateries in Tainan and with good reason.

We had drinks and food there around 6 PM then went back to our hotel to cool off. We went to a fee bars later on that night but ultimately ended up getting a taxi to go back to the Dive Bar.

It is a great place to eat and drink. Dan and Caleb, our bartenders were super friendly and accommodating. I really wish we could have gone back again. I highly recommend this bar to any and everyone visiting Tainan.

In addition to the great food and drinks and friendly staff, they have outdoor seating and indoor seating with AC,

I am from new Mexico and the Santa fee chicken sandwich is the best I have had in the world. Drinks are amazing and Dan is awesome. The spicy bites and chicken wings remind me of home. Really this is the best place I visited in tainan.
