Looking for a bar in Taipei where you can just have a drink, with no minimum spend and no pressure to play anything? AI DARTS in the East District is a darts bar, but nobody makes you throw. There's no minimum spend, it's open 24 hours, every day of the year, and you can bring your own drinks.
Can you just have a drink with no minimum spend?
Yes. No minimum spend, weekdays and weekends alike, Friday night included. Order one beer, sit for a bit and leave, that's fine. The place is open around the clock, so there's no closing time hanging over you. Coming alone is normal too; plenty of our regulars do. If you want a rough idea of what darts or a snack adds up to, see the price guide.
One thing to know up front: this is a darts bar. When people are playing, you'll hear machine sounds and chatter, so it isn't a silent bar. If you'd like it calmer, message us on LINE before you come and ask how it looks right now.
Can I bring my own drinks?
Yes, bring whatever you feel like drinking. There's one rule: during counter hours, if one person brings more than 3 bottles of alcohol, there's a NT$50 cleaning fee per person. Three bottles or fewer, or any time the counter is closed, no fee. How the whole place works is in our self-service darts bar guide.
What can I order at the bar?
Beer is NT$100 a bottle (Taiwan Beer, Budweiser or Heineken, your pick). Sparkling drinks are NT$65 a glass in four flavors: oolong pineapple, passion fruit pineapple, lemon passion fruit and honey yuzu. There are cocktails too, but what's on offer depends on the bar that day, so ask at the counter. Everything else is on the menu.
When is the bar counter open?
The venue and the dart machines run 24 hours, but the counter and the Hotdogray kitchen keep a schedule, mostly in the evening, and may not open on rainy days or for special reasons. The final word is the notice at the shop or on LINE. If you want to order a drink from us, send a quick message first. When the counter is closed, drinking your own is still fine.
You don't have to play darts, but you can
Nobody will tell you to step up and throw. If you get curious, the Phoenix electronic dart machines are easy even if you've never thrown a dart, and if someone's at the counter they'll show you how. Hungry? Hotdogray, the American hot dog stand inside, has a signature seared cheese and meat sauce hot dog for NT$100. How to order is in the hot dog menu guide.
AI DARTS is in Taipei's East District, in a lane off Ren'ai Rd, a short walk from the Bannan Line between Zhongxiao Dunhua and Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall stations. If all you want is a drink, just come.
