Dancers, loungers and partygoers alike should watch out for Fabric - a trendy club with beats, booze and big parties to tickle your fancy. Located on SihWei 4th Road, it's modest exterior opens onto a dimly lit walkway that takes you past lounge areas, a dance floor and lets you off at the bar. There are lots of low, cushioned seats in the lounge areas and high leopard print stools along the bar and (as the name suggests) an array of fabric lining the interior walls.

The dance floor isn't huge, but has ample space for some serious grooving and is highlighted by strobe lights and a disco ball. Behind the dance floor, next to the DJ booth, a big screen enhances your dancing experience with dance videos. The drink menu is impressive and includes everything from beer (NT$150), cocktails (NT$200 - N$T500), and spirits (NT$180) to wines (NT$180 a glass) and Champagnes (NT$2000 - NT$5000 a bottle). Also on the menu are Frozen Test Tubes, which sound like the start of an exciting night as you get 25 test tubes for NT$600.

Serving more than alcoholic beverages the menu also offers soft drinks (NT$100), juices (NT$150) and snacks. Chinese dishes such as Fried Golden Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken and Stir Fried Onion Beef go for NT$150, NT$180 and NT$200 respectively. Exotic dishes (western fare) also come at good prices. You can order common appetizers such as French Fries (NT$100), Salsa Chips (NT$120) and Buffalo Wings (NT$180), as well as main dishes such as a Cheeseburger (NT$180), Red Wine Sauteed Beef Ribs (NT$180) and Japanese BBQ Beef (NT$300).

Wednesday and Thursday nights are fee entry, but on other nights cover starts from NT$200 for girls and NT$400 for boys. Tickets can be exchanged for drinks.
