Champagne Thr3e

--- By Claire Tyrell Translated by Kiki Wu

Following hot on the heels of Champagne 1 and 2, this year brings Champagne Thr3e, adding more sparkle to the mix with a large basement disco spinning hip-hop and house. Ultra-chic, ultra-cool and ultra-modern with fast-moving images projected throughout the club--descending the stairs here is like walking into a designer's mind during a flash of inspiration.
Cosy corners provide intimate seating, or you can reserve a private room for a minimum order of NT$6,000 to NT$15,000 and recline in relative luxury.

And, as you'd expect, the drinks menu is as lavish as the decor. True to its name, around 50 kinds of champagne are available (mainly by the bottle), ranging from NT$2,800 to NT$18,000 for that extra-special quality vintage. Or enjoy a champagne cocktail (NT$420) such as Lychee Champagne, or Blue Champagne--a wicked blend of champers, blue curacao and a touch of peach liqueur.

An extensive list of wines follows (sold by the bottle) as well as over 30 quality whiskeys (12-year by the glass, others sold by the bottle). Then there are liqueurs, spirits and several bottled beers ranging from NT$200 to NT$250. Or, hot from the dance floor, literally chill by the attractive novelty ice bar, sporting a good selection of vodkas (NT$200-350).
Food is also available all night long, with the most popular choices being Chinese Marinated Food (NT$300), Germany Style Sausage (NT$350) or Deep Fried Fish Finger with Thailand Dressing (NT$300).

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday retain a lounge bar vibe, with the first two nights offering an all-night happy hour, buy-one-get-one-free on beer, and a Moet Chandon Champagne for NT$2,000 a bottle. Wednesdays are Ladies Nights--free entrance and a champagne drink for ladies and, for the lads, a cover charge of NT$500 before 11 p.m. and NT$700 after (includes one drink). Fridays and Saturdays (NT$500/700 cover charge) see several DJs working the floor, with occasional appearances by guests such as Taiwan's DJ Alex.
Current regulations require Taiwan Fun to remind you not to drink and drive, or drink if you are a minor.
