A couple of good bars for you...Zigazaga in the downtown Hyatt next to the Taipei 101 tower. Dress up a little if you can. Try also the TU club, ask the concierge for directions to give to the taxi. Wednesday is ladies night there, and also at Carnegie's. Carnegie's is wild on Wednesdays and the weekends, with girls dancing on the bar if that's OK to you.
Have fun.
Have fun.

Malibu Grill
Go out front door,turn left and left again at first alley. About 50 yards on the right is I think the Malibu Grill. Cold beer, OK menu and TV. Continuing down the alley is entertaining for sightseeing at night. About 300 yards is a cross street with lots of vendors.

Make a right out of the hotel and go one block to the barbershop for a "haircut", open 24hrs!

Hooters is an interesting place to go. Of course, the girls don't have any hooters, but they are still dressed in the same outfits that the Hooter Girls in the states wear and try to flirt the same way too. The layout of the restaurant and bar, and menu are the same as in the states, but the atmosphere is very different.
Also, try a tour of Taipei 101, the world's tallest building. That's good for 1/2 day. Try to go on a clear day, though.

Taipei 101 is a good time killer. World's fastest elevator ride.
If you are really bored and want to get rid of your appetite go to snake alley. The hotel can give you directions for the cab, they do not want any pictures taken, probably to prevent their version of PETA from cracking down ! It is fun watching the selling tactics, I wish I could have understood what the salesman were claiming could happen if you drink the local drink.

The food court in the basement of the 101 building is a trip. If you're afraid to sample the local food, like I was, you can get something in the grocery store down there. The beer and the sushi are fine.
