Bar Door to Dream Introduction
The cup is more expensive than the liquor. The Negroni at the wild cat bar in Chiayi is hailed as the most popular cocktail in the world, served in the beautiful BELLO cup from Kimura Glass. Under dim lighting, the liquid takes on a ruby glow that is mesmerizing. The bartender mentions that presenting cocktails in elegant glassware is a signature of Bar Door to Dream, which connoisseurs can immediately recognize. Open until 4 AM, it is currently the latest closing bar in Chiayi City, emphasizing gin-based drinks, and changes its menu every three months. It also serves spirits, non-alcoholic drinks, and offers customized cocktails based on preferences for taste, flavor, alcohol content, aroma, and fizziness. One intriguing option is "order a drink based on your mood," where you can leave it to the bartender to create something unexpected. The bartender, Xiao Hao, used to be a Chinese teacher and transitioned into mixology education, and he is still a teacher today. Behind the bar, there is a sign that reads "What do I want to do?" Some say it is the boss's catchphrase, but the boss has his official explanation, which you can ask him when you visit for a drink.
