A waterwall by the entrance; a downstairs bar with probably the softest bar stools in the city; an upstairs where small groups can relax on colorful-yet-soothing sofas, or in VIP rooms. All in all, Salute is an intriguing new addition to Kaohsiung's burgeoning lounge bar scene. "Our customers say they feel comfortable. We provide good service, and we make especially good cocktails. Two of our bartenders have a lot of experience," says owner Sky, who gives her aunt--a professional designer--credit for creating the splendid interior. According to Sky, on weekdays most of the customers are aged 30 to 40; they like a mellow atmosphere, prefer jazz and blues, and tend to drink red wines and whiskies. On weekends, however, Salute attracts a younger crowd who go for a different kind of music. From Monday to Friday, "people come to relax after work," she says. "But on the weekend it can be wild! I hope everyone can enjoy this place." --By Steven Crook
