Doujiou Bar Introduction
The old house, which has been serving drinks for nearly 70 years, was originally a rattan furniture store. Located at the intersection of Cheng Ren Street and Lan Jing Street, it used to be surrounded by suit shops, furniture stores, and quilt shops. As these industries gradually declined over time, they almost faded from the memories of the locals, but the arrival of new dining establishments has revitalized the area, making it a new focal point in Chiayi City. Named "Dou Jiu," which sounds like the Taiwanese term for "pouring drink," the bartender often refers to himself as "Ba Tian De" on the fan page, with a warm and humorous posting style. Although it's an old house bar, it adopts a joyful vibe, frequently hosting events for friends, colleagues, and students. Ba Tian De himself mentions that while it's easy for everyone to get high during private events, it's very cute to see patrons occasionally getting a bit too relaxed and losing control! The most popular cocktail is "Amber," which uses vodka as the base and is blended with Alishan oolong tea, Wenshan Paozhong tea, honey, and soda water, creating a "tea cocktail." This drink features local characteristics from Chiayi and has a lower alcohol content, making it easy for most people to enjoy. When visiting Dou Jiu, be sure to start with their signature snacks: truffle fries and chicken wings. Image source: Chiayi City Government Tourism News Office | Photographer: Mag.
