The Villa (Bar)

By Ken Lin
Translated by Kate Kuo (³¢®ü«Â)

     The wooden Villa, although located in the city, makes you feel forgotten by the world when you are here. Leading to The Villa is a wooden path and by its side is a pond full of river rocks. Once there at The Villa, you might feel as if in a vacation cabin in Bali; oh, what a relaxed feeling!

     The interior design of The Villa is quite unique with a spacious lobby that is divided into different styles. You will be amazed by everything you see, such as traditional Chinese red wood chairs, Chinese antique coffee tables, and pirates' treasure chests used as tables. There are hand-carved screens, contemporary western-style sofas and other tables and chairs which might have been transported straight from the abbeys in Italy. Every corner is scenery. There are even some antique chandeliers hanging from the ceiling which project the red from the velvet curtains in the background, creating superior yet romantic feelings in the air. The second floor is divided into several private boxes for use by parties.

Of course, you expect to enjoy good food and relaxation from work when you come here. For food, the Villa features delicious yet healthy dishes made of fresh vanilla and the entrees are served until 9:30 pm. Most people, however, come here to drink. The Villa's signature serving, Test Tube, contains a large volume at a price of NT$700 per tube. If you prefer sweet with a bit of sour taste, you should try vodka and orange juice with your favorite fruit added. Compassion and Whisky-Sour cocktails are popular for the ladies, costing only NT$250. Men can't help desiring to smoke cigars within this wonderful atmosphere. Punch Punch is perfect for the beginner because it is not too strong. For the cigar connoisseurs, there are many choices from Cuba with prices ranging from NT$600 to NT$750. The Villa also offers great red wines from a variety of well-known regions. I personally think that experiencing the beauty of The Villa is best when you are a little bit tipsy.

    The Villa mainly plays lounge music and chill-out music. There are professional DJs to entertain the customers' unique tastes every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, allowing everyone to enjoy the good times. Although the nights without DJs seem to be quiet, you can definitely have a wonderful, relaxing time. The friendly staff strives to take good care of you, with smiles so bright that they match the flower shirts they wear.
