--By Shanzi Chen, translated by Cara
Steenstra
The world's first female poet, Sappho,
appeared in ancient Greece 2,500 years ago. To this
day, her poems continue to fascinate readers. Her name
has also now appeared on a corner in Taipei as the name
of a lounge bar. Sappho is neither big nor small, with
eye-catching beehive-style LED floor lighting. The small
moon-shaped sofas and small round tables can be moved
according to guests' numbers and requirements. If you
go to Sappho, be sure and try their cocktails. Female
bartender Juvena has 12 years of experience behind the
bar. Most of the 60 cocktails on the menu are specially
designed. The Spicy Chicken Wings with Sour Cream (NT$180)
are also really spicy and pack a punch. Jazz bands perform
every Wednesday and Thursday. Friday is DJ Night with
Dutch DJ Stin, who has a special liking for Indian and
African music, which he adds to his mixes to create
the special atmosphere unique to Sappho. Given the fact
that Sappho was also the earliest known lesbian, the
bar is planning to hold special parties for lesbians
in the near future. It doesn't matter what your sexual
orientation is, though, as Sappho is a place where you
can let down your hair and have a great time.
