Da'an Nightlife
One quiet drink beats ten loud ones
D is the front line of craft cocktails and speakeasies, with great bars hidden in quiet lanes. The East District lanes are the bartenders' home turf — unsigned speakeasies you find by word of mouth. Around Anhe Road, the night belongs to regulars: slow drinks, good talk.

Da'an, in questions
How do I find Da'an's speakeasies?
Most hide in the lanes between Zhongxiao Dunhua and Xinyi Anhe, behind bookcases, fridge doors or phone booths. Book ahead.
How is Da'an different from Xinyi for bars?
Da'an wins on cocktail quality and privacy at similar prices; Xinyi is where the clubs and skyline bars are.
Is Da'an good for dates?
Very. Lane bars are intimate and quiet enough to talk — widely considered Taipei's best date-night district.
