If you find yourself visiting the Tunghai Villa shopping district, perhaps to enjoy its well-loved chicken feet jelly, take a stroll down Lane 1, XinXing Road. Past a few grass jelly shops, you'll notice a two-story, matte-black building on your left. A stretch of artificial grass softens its entrance and the glow of warm lights spills gently onto the street at night. This is TUBE, a quiet, yet distinctive, bar and bistro that invites you to step in and linger for a while.

Owner Aaron comes from a tech-industry background and is the third-generation operator of TUBE. For him, seeing students unwind over a drink brings genuine joy and he has created a space where guests can mingle with friends and soak up the lively energy, or retreat to the bar for a quiet moment to savor the atmosphere. Inside on the right is a small memory corner—a wall covered with Polaroid photos of many wonderful moments from over the years. A selection of books sits nearby, creating a cozy little nook filled with stories and sentiment.

The two-floor space has an industrial design blending British and American pub elements. Black walls create a subtle intimacy, allowing guests to relax and open up. The bar counter is at the very

The diverse drink menu offers over a hundred options, each crafted personally by bartenders. Aaron recommends classics such as the Moscow Mule (NT$220) and Long Island Iced Tea (NT$350). For something unique, try the Breaker (NT$320), a special mix of absinthe, kaoliang liquor and vanilla. There are also a variety of flavored rums, gins, vodkas, shots and party-style drinks. Non-drinkers can choose from a selection of mocktails and other beverages (NT$80-500).

如果你來東海別墅新興路的1巷15號買雞腳凍,不妨往裡面走一點。沿途曾經過幾家寶仙草凍的店,再往前走,就會往左手邊看到一棟黑色的透天厝,外頭鋪著人工草皮,夜裡打上燈光,格外醒目。那棟建築,就是TUBE酒吧。

現任老闆Aaron來自科技背景,是TUBE的第3代經營者。對他而言,看見學生們開心地喝酒是一件快樂的事。他將這裡打造成一個既能與朋友熟聚會,也能獨自靜靜坐在吧台、享受氛圍的空間。

走進店裡,右手邊牆上掛滿拍立得振片,記錄著店裡多年的美好回憶時光,旁邊還放置著各式書籍,像是一個藏著故事與情感的小角落。

整體空間共有兩層樓,走工業風,融合英式與美式酒吧的元素。黑色牆面帶出低調的私密感,讓人能自在地分享心事、卻下防備。吧台位於店內最裡面,以傳統銅絲燈照明,暖黃色光線映在木

酒單同樣多元:提供超過一百種酒類選擇,每一杯皆由調酒師親自調製。Aaron特別推薦經典款:如Moscow Mule(220元)與Long Island Iced Tea(350元)。若想嚐點特別的,可以試試他們以艾草、高粱與香草調出的「破冰」(320元)。此外還有各式風味的萊姆酒、琴酒、伏特加、Shot及派對系列飲品。不喝酒的客人也能挑選無酒精調酒與各式飲品,價格從80元到500元不等。
