Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Reviewed 14 April 2020

I arrived late at night and within minutes we were part of the conversations. The owners, as busy they were, had always time for a small talk an showed great professionalism. Within 50 days of searching and trying it just took me 10 minutes here...to say, one of the top places in Tainan. Great Beers, great very attending service and its also a very entertaining place thanks to the mix of customers from students to expats... Sure already my favorite spot for a night out or just for a couple of beers..More

This place has a lot going for it: obscure 80s films projected onto grainy wood by the bar (humanoids from the deep, for our visit), semi-professional beer logos painted around the cornice, a black cat, and a decent selection of local beers and good bar...food. It's doubtless more geared towards a western palate. I'm a big ipa proponent - they had about 4, some local - but got a great suggestion for a local blonde ale that had a fair amount of hoppiness to it. The "spicy bites" (jalapeño poppers) were not particularly spicy, but were definitely homemade and delicious. Also had some bean dip with tortilla chips, which is a filling bar snack with cheese and sour cream. Not a big place, but has bar, cocktail, and outdoor seating. Probably would have come back had I been staying in Tainan longer than a few nights.More

As a fan of craft beers, I am always looking for a place to drink local (and non-local) craft beers. Dive bar and grub hut is definitely such a place. Wide variation of craft beers (Taiwanese, American, European), good pub food (veggie burger, fries, chicken...burger, nacho's ), and good company/conversation. What more could you want.More

Great spot! Popped in for a beer and got home 3 (or so) hours later. The food is great and the staff is awesome! If you're looking for an extensive menu, this isn't place, but what they do, they do well. p.s. If you bring...some love, you'll leave with more.More

Any night of the week, this is a consistently good bar. It doesn't do anything phoney or fancy, it just does it right. The owners are the bartenders, and they want to have a good time just like you. You'll find everything from cheap beers...to specialty beers, and good mixed drinks. The food tastes good too. Dive is located on a busy part of Haian Rd, so you can hop to other bars or tea shops or some artsy shops, or just slightly further down the road check out Flower Garden Night Market.More

West Central District/ North District
The West Central District is the most populous and the
busiest area. A lot of shops and hotels crowd the
district, and the long-standing history results in a
variety of street food. In addition to that, this
district also has the highest number of temples. This
is how it got the name “Tainan’s Pantheon.” Historic
buildings are literally ubiquitous. For example,

Unfortunately, no we don't show NFL football games, due to the time difference and the lack of an early morning audience for them. I believe Drifter's (another expat bar in Tainan) shows reruns of the games at night, if that... More
