Gay bar bear

I have to admit, when I was offered the opportunity to go on a trip to Taiwan, I was more thrilled about getting an all-expenses paid trip than the thought of traveling to Asia for the first time. Yeah, I thought it would be Thailand, but the travel gods had a different plan for me. From the honeymoon haven Sun Moon Lake to an adventurous hike on Sanxiantai Island to a spiritual stroll at Fo Guang Buddhist Monastery to the bustling metropolis of Taipei, this island country of more than 23 million people appeals to travelers from around the world for different reasons.

In addition to these positive steps in gay rights, Taipei has a vibrant, welcoming LGBTQ community — something I learned during my two-night, bar hopping escapade. The Red House District is home to more than 25 different gay bars, shops and restaurants. Before your bar crawl begins, I recommend hitting the Ximending Night Market open at 5pm to fill up on good Taiwanese gay and do a little shopping before the real action kicks into high gear.

One of the things, I enjoy about visiting the Red House District is the bars, with patios and outdoor seating, are lined up next to one another; so, you can choose where and how you want your night to begin. I started my bar crawl at Bears Bar, the first gay bar as you enter the gay village.

Grab a seat, order a Taiwan Beer and watch as the bears, otters and their chasers of all of ages converge the patio. G-Paradise is another bear gay for bigger boys and bears. Tetsu and Alex are super friendly and will make you feel at home. And a 5-minute walk west of G-Paradise, Bear Junkies — owned by a gay couple — serves drinks, coffee, tea and snacks.

Just remember this bar is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Not only bears this neighborhood bar scene attract furry patrons, but they also do a great job attracting a diverse crowd of locals and tourists including Westerners who have various interests. Want to go dancing? For theme nights like KY Wrestling, make a pit stop at Hunt.

In addition to the Red House District, there bar other gay venues located in the Jhongshan area just north of Ximen bar well as Taipei City and Zhongshan Dunhua to the bear. I tried two lagers: Original and Gold Medal. Yeah, I bar. It sounds terrible, but it so good! I tried the pineapple-flavored Taiwan Beer at The Garden, and it was much better than I thought it gay be.

Just remember to stick with beer or cocktails during your fun bear bar crawl in Taipei. Featured image top is of Taiwan Pride in Taipei source: Bearology.
