還在找尋心中最佳旅遊文學解的女子,喜歡寫字,題材廣泛。興趣也過於廣泛導致顧此失彼,總沒有足夠時間寫與讀。 目前發瘋決定唸個博士,在古城感覺自己總是太常觀光、太少唸書。instagram進行緩步牛津紀錄中:https://www.instagram.com/janaitpe/

[台北走逛] 酒吧 Antique Bar 1900

也在IG @ janaitpe

也試圖練習英文寫作,但還是掌握不到那氛圍啊~


朋友的消息讓我們在深夜闖進這家甚至尚未正式開張的酒吧。不只歐風,還是1900黃金年代的歐洲風格,牆上是慕夏是克林姆,吧台後是愛爾蘭威士忌是法國來的艾碧斯(Absinthe),一抬頭,二樓是大書櫃,一本本精裝書都是老闆從比利時挑揀回來的,有簡愛有Dorian Grey,還有更多我看不懂的法文書。

店裡古董多,收音機是1912年的,一整架的打字機各有年歲,但也不畏人使用,店裡甚至設了一張檯,一疊紙,歡迎幾杯酒下肚,用力打出心底話。鋼琴也可供彈奏,微鬆的琴鍵可以感覺出這是台被寶貝地彈奏過的琴,據說彈奏一曲德布西的月光,就能得到一杯免費飲品。


我不喝威士忌,老闆說,不然試試艾碧斯吧?看我卻步,又解釋,艾碧斯其實好長一段時間都是很熱門的單飲酒類,直到威士忌興起取代,好的艾碧斯是淡淡的初青色,不是豪飲類酒吧那樣綠到不行的漱口水顏色。被說服的我試了傳統喝法,倒出一點酒液,在杯口擺上方糖,再用冰水滴穿方糖,稀釋酒到自己喜歡的濃度。入口與以往記得的味道完全不同,帶著甜味的草香與茴香味,倒有幾分像土耳其的Raki。


真的是好魔幻的一晚,在大稻埕原本就濃濃古早味的街區,走上屈臣氏大藥房三樓,突然遇見如此歐洲的酒吧,覺得有種時光倒流,走出酒吧,逼近農曆年的時分,街上張了許多燈籠,在光影之間,有種迷濛的做夢感受。


For those who have a taste for Irish Whiskey or the old fashion way of drinking Absinthe, a new bar in town may just quench your thirst :) The Antique Bar 1900 is hidden away in central Dadaocheng, and brings one from 1860’s Taiwan right into the European era alongside Mucha and Klimt.


The bar is on the 3rd floor of the first Watsons in Taiwan. Follow the secret stairway up and you’ll find yourself surrounded by bookshelves lined with fine reads, a stoic piano, and a shelf chattering with typewriters! The Antique Bar 1900 is still trying things out, so the drink options are limited to whiskey, absinthe, and Belgian beer. 


The boss poured out a shot of French Absinthe into a delicate glass, placed a sugar cube on top, and asked me to drip in ice water to adjust the taste to my liking. It tastes so different from the neon green shots I tossed down my throat in times well forgotten. This absinthe has a delightful grassy smell mixed with a starry anise scent, reminding me of the Turkish raki but sweeter on the tongue.


We walked back out into the night, the streets shining with lantern light set up for the coming Lunar New Year. The night with a library full of English and French literature along side Belgian beer suddenly felt a bit like being wrapped up in a gentle and pleasant dream. Or perhaps it was simply the absinthe?
