And like all those
Irish pubs, it is a most pleasant place to kick back and have
a few pints with the lads. Sadly, there is no Guinness on tap, but
there are tall cans of Guinness draught for NT$180 and Miller
on tap. All beers range from NT$100 to NT$180.
Mixed drinks are NT$160-NT$280. Unlike most Irish pubs,
there is an assortment of Taiwanese teas available.
The clientele is mixed,
covering all ages and including a sizeable minority of foreigners.
Located near the shoe colony at Hong Tai and Tung Hai University, it is close to two centers of foreign activity
and this place will draw them in like a magnet and deposit them
in their comfortable booths or glue them to the bar.
Overall, O'Chang's
a good place to check out. The décor is nice, the
food good and the service excellent. Tell us what you
think.
