The Best Bars in North Da'an District

The cocktail menu arrives illustrated like a small art book, which tells you a fair amount about where Bar Mood sits on the seriousness scale. This is a cocktail bar in Da'an with a considered focus on Taiwanese and Japanese whisky and creative original drinks. Small plates are available if you need something to slow things down. It has appeared on Asia's 50 Best Bars, which draws the kind of crowd that has opinions about pandan syrup.

The herb garden out front is your only clue that a serious cocktail bar is tucked into this quiet residential lane in Da'an. Inside, a purple-lit bar anchors a room where the team works with hand-picked native teas, turning them into house-made liqueurs that end up in most of what you'll drink. A Discovery selection from the 50 Best program. Go slowly; these are built to be considered.
