      Located at the end of Soho Street in what used to be Bonita Senorita Mexican Restaurant, Corner Bar is the creation by veteran bartender Shao Hei, who has over 10 years of experience working in popular places like Oldies. The basic layout of the place remains the same with a comfortable two-sided, indoor/outdoor bar, inside tables and a TV above the bar. When the weather gets warmer, there will also be tables outside where customers can hear planned live musical performances. Beer is around NT$100 for small bottles and NT$150 for large Kirin and other bottles. A good variety of cocktails range in price from NT$120 for standard drinks, like vodka lime, up to NT$350 for special drinks. This includes a Shao Hei invention, the "Water and Fire" cocktail (NT$300), which is downed with two separate glasses (including one that is lit on fire) and goes down with a uniquely hot and cold sensation. For food, there is lasagne and two types of pasta—with cream cheese or tomato sauce—for NT$120, as well as some simple beer snacks like clams. Soho Street is located off of Da Yeh Road, about half-way between Jing Cheng and Dung Shing roads. – By Douglas Habecker, translated by Annie Liu
