The Public House Taipei

The Public House sits on Section 4, Xinyi Road. It holds a spot on the list of Asia's 50 Best Bars at number 43.

The room runs smart, trading the frantic energy of the nearby Xinyi Shopping District for a focused, steady pace. While many places in this corridor lean into high-volume fusion, the kitchen here keeps the menu tethered to traditional roots, which makes the food feel more anchored than the rest of the strip. It is a better choice than its flashy neighbors for anyone tired of the Xinyi sensory overload; you get a more composed drink and a meal that doesn't feel like a rush to the exit.
