East End
Taiwan
EAST END is the hotel bar at HOTEL PROVERBS Taipei in Da’an District, Taipei City, on the third floor of the property at No. 56, Section 1, Da’an Road. The venue is presented by the hotel as Taiwan’s first hotel bar to be named among Asia’s 50 Best Bars, and it is described as drawing inspiration from east London’s bar culture rather than from a stand-alone neighbourhood restaurant concept. Official materials place it within the hotel’s dining offer and identify it as part of the property’s contemporary hospitality setting. The bar’s published drinks programme includes a themed cocktail menu called Silk Road, developed with world cocktail champion Michito Kaneko. The menu is said to feature 16 signature cocktails that combine Eastern and Western spices and flavours. The same official pages also list a wine menu and a selection of rare craft whiskies, showing that the offer extends beyond cocktails to a broader drinks list suited to evening drinking and mixed social visits. Food is available alongside the drinks service through a bar food menu created by the kitchen team behind L’IDIOT GRILL&PASTA, the hotel’s Italian restaurant. The hotel states that these dishes blend Eastern and Western ingredients and flavours, while its afternoon tea service offers tea, coffee, red and white wine, and non-alcoholic cocktails. This gives EAST END a more layered format than a simple late-night bar, with lighter daytime service as well as evening drinking and small plates. The setting is described as urban and discreet, with the hotel emphasising a design-led atmosphere and a sense of switching from ‘on’ to ‘off’ on arrival. EAST END serves from late afternoon into the night, and the hotel presents it as a place for personal downtime, cocktails, and quiet table service within a boutique Taipei hotel rather than as a separate high-street restaurant. The overall character is refined, drink-led, and closely tied to the hotel’s wider dining identity.
