Party Hostels in Taipei
Taipei’s nightlife doesn’t shut down when the sun goes down. Head to **Ximending** on a Friday night, and you’ll find crowds spilling out of bars and clubs onto the pedestrian streets. The area feels like a mix of Tokyo’s Shibuya and Bangkok’s Khao San Road, but with a distinctly Taiwanese twist: cheap beer, night markets that stay open late, and hostels with bars built into the lobby.
The hostel scene here is small but well-organised. Places like **The Star Hostel** in Ximending have their own bars, so you can start the night with a NT$100 Taiwan Beer before walking five minutes to **OMNI Nightclub** or **Babe 18**. If you’d rather stay closer to the skyscrapers, **Formosa 101** puts you within stumbling distance of **ATT 4 Fun**, a shopping centre with a rooftop club that overlooks Taipei 101.

How Taipei's nightlife zones break down
Ximending
Ximending is Taipei’s answer to Shibuya, with neon lights, street performers, and a never-ending stream of bars and clubs. The pedestrian zone is packed from 6pm until late, and the MRT station drops you right in the centre. It’s the best place to stay if you want to roll out of bed and into a night out.
Da’an District
Da’an is where Taipei’s creative crowd goes out. The bars here are smaller and more low-key than Ximending’s, with a mix of live music venues and speakeasies. **The Wall** and **Ounce Taipei** are two standout spots. It’s a 15-minute MRT ride from Ximending, so you can easily combine both in one night.
Xinyi District
Home to Taipei 101 and some of the city’s swankiest clubs, Xinyi is where you go for a big night out. **OMNI** and **Babe 18** are the main draws, but the area also has late-night eateries and 24-hour convenience stores. It’s pricier than Ximending, but the views are worth it.

Taipei’s biggest club, spread over three floors with EDM, hip-hop, and live DJs. The crowd is a mix of locals and backpackers, and it gets packed after midnight. Entry is NT$400 with a drink included. Dress sharp: no sandals or ripped jeans.
Babe 18
A rooftop club with views of Taipei 101. The music leans toward house and techno, and the crowd is slightly older than OMNI’s. Entry is NT$350, which includes a drink. The outdoor terrace is the best spot for a breather between sets.
The Wall
A live music venue that books indie bands and underground DJs. Entry is usually NT$200–300, and the crowd is a mix of students and expats. The upstairs bar serves cheap beer (NT$80) and stays open until 2am. Check their Facebook page for gig listings.
Riverside Pub
A backpacker favourite in Ximending, with pool tables, cheap beer (NT$60), and a rowdy crowd. It’s a good place to start the night before moving on to clubs. Happy hour runs from 6pm to 9pm, with NT$50 Taiwan Beer. No cover charge.
Ounce Taipei
A speakeasy-style bar hidden behind an unmarked door in Da’an District. The cocktails (NT$250–350) are some of the best in Taipei, and the bartenders know their stuff. It’s small, so arrive early to grab a seat. Open until 2am on weekends.
The Star Hostel Bar
The in-house bar at **The Star Hostel** is where backpackers kick off the night. NT$100 Taiwan Beers and NT$150 cocktails flow until midnight. The hostel organises pub crawls from here, so it’s easy to meet people. Open to non-guests, but hostel guests get a 10% discount.
