Tavern
65 is a cozy pub just off Wufu 4th Road. It stands out
as one of the more established bars in Kaohsiung, and
owes its popularity to a friendly atmosphere and good
food. It's also an ideal spot to enjoy some sports, interesting
conversation, and a few good drinks. Part of the attraction
is the impressive number of cocktails on offer--65 to
be exact.
Manager/bartender Shawn nominates the Shamrock (also known
as the Siesta) for this month's Cocktail of the Month: "Why?
Because it's good for your eyes!" Seriously, this
is a smooth and stylish cocktail that is as appropriate
at a formal event as it is in a casual social setting.
When done right--as it is in Shawn's capable hands--it's
delicious without being overly potent, and carries with
it a sense of being simultaneously fun and sophisticated.
