Barcode is a sophisticated and elegant Taipei lounge bar institution that first opened its opulent doors in 2005. It is situated in the nightlife mecca Neo19 which lies in the heart of the bustling Xinyi district's nightlife area.
This classy lounge bar is renowned for its exquisite decor and the jet-set trendsetters stepping out here every week.
The lounge bar's ambiance is upmarket but relaxed and the perfect meeting ground for pre-drinks before you disappear into one of the plethora of nightclubs in the area.
More often than not though, you'll probably end up getting stuck in at Barcode, either at the pool table, bar counter or the relaxing outdoor patio Sky Garden, which you'll always find adorned with ample plush couches and seating.
It's the perfect place for a first date or just to unwind from the busy week with friends. Coupled with a brisk drink service (hard to find in this district where clubs often skimp on the personal touch) and an eclectic array of intoxicating cocktails, there is no reason to really leave, and the slick bartenders cater for any cocktail fantasy you might harbor.
For Taipei's well-connected and heeled, the private closed-off VIP members-only private room inside Barcode called The Den offers visitors an intimate nightlife experience with breathtaking views over the city and a more dedicated bar service.
Barcode's clientele range from age 25 and up.
Depending on the door policy on the night, what you spend and whether you come early enough, you're very likely to get complimentary entry to sister night club Room 18 right next door.
Barcode is a Taipei lounge bar to see and be seen, yet you can dress down or dress up, whatever your fancy.
