VISITOR RATINGS & REVIEWS
As you walk into 5-1 Music & Wine, you
will first notice three seating areas on the first floor.
However, you will be taken by surprise when you enter the
basement. There are altogether nine large sofa areas, each
separated into its own private, little haven by a gold-colored
organza. There is a small performance area near the entrance,
where a musical duo performs every evening from 12 a.m. till
2 a.m. Soft music is played at other times. A rather large
choice of red wines, white wines, brandies and whiskeys is
available, with prices not much different from most lounge
bars. Their Red Wine Tenderloin (NT$450), German Pork's Knuckle
(NT$450) and other delicious snacks all come highly recommended.
If you are just here with one or two friends, you can choose
the first floor as it does not charge you for service. For
a more intimate evening, try the basement sofa area; there
is no charge for the sofa area and the minimum charge per
person is only NT$350. Although it is located at the busy
JingCheng Road area, near DaDun 20 Street, it is not too difficult
to find parking after 9 p.m.
