All-you-can-drink nightclubs

-- By Jesse Ship Translated by Wynnce Weng

What to expect: A mix of under 25's with the odd taxi driver, all in various states of gaudy fashion. Prices average around NT$600 but, despite the across-the-board price, drink quality will vary. Some clubs stock premium brands while others offer lower quality substitutes. Downsides include long lines and generally unimaginative music. To avoid spending your whole night in the queue, ask for a larger cup and for a double or a triple. However, this may cause trouble later on as some bartenders will keep serving you the same strong drink all night long. If you don't change your order, this could be the end of you, with not so sexy results!

Tu-

Plush, swanky interior made to look like a royal palace. The atmosphere is sometimes more fun to look at than the patrons this hip-hop club attracts. 249, FuXing S. Rd., B1

9%-

The only all-you-can-drink pub that offers free snacks along with the mixes. This place is off the hook on Saturday nights, complete with Taiwanese girls (and boys!) stripping down and dancing on the bar, and a quite impressive fire show. 222, JinShan S. Rd., Sec. 2, B1

Biermeister-

Not a dance space but still makes the list for it's all-you-can-drink facilities. Located in the middle of Warner village. Settle down on the patio for some fresh air, people-watching and healthy microbrews. 12, SongShou Rd.

Room Party-

The Party room is located on the 12th floor of the Living Mall, otherwise known as the Deathstar Mall. Like the rest, it gets a bit cramped but offers two rooms, international DJ acts and a good mix of popular electronic music. 137, BaDe Rd., Sec. 4, 12F

Wax-

Notorious for NT$100 all-you-can-drink for Foreigners on Wednesdays. Located conveniently at GuTing station next to the Starbucks, it's hard to miss. 67, Roosevelt Rd., Sec. 2, B1
Alcoholic drinks are strictly prohibited for those under 18.
