The best argument we've heard for Ximending after dark. Ximen Beer Bar runs reliably good nights — beer-led, unfussed, the kind of room where the bartender becomes part of the reason you stayed for one more. Leslie, behind the stick, is a draw in her own right; regulars cite her by name.
Slot it in if you're already in Ximending and want a stop that isn't a club. It's not a cocktail-program destination — that isn't the point — but it's the most reliably fun bar in a neighborhood whose nightlife is mostly designed to push you toward EDM and free-drink offers.
