A must-visit bar in Chiayi, Taiwan, CASA, one of the starting points of bartending culture

As someone who was born in Chiayi and lived here until the age of 18, every time I return to my hometown, I always take time to come to "Casa Bar". This is not only my "old place", but also one of the starting points of Chiayi's bartending culture.

Xiao Mao, the owner of "Casa Bar", is the first pioneer in Chiayi to operate a bar. His original shop was near Chiayi University, and later moved to the current location. The space is made of a lot of metal materials, presenting a simple and futuristic style. For those who want to drink a good cocktail, "Casa" is definitely the first choice in Chiayi City.

There is also a "store manager" in the store who does not work regularly-Golden, a super cute and clever dog. Every time I meet it, I can't help but play with it for a while before starting to drink. If you are a coffee lover, you might as well try one of Xiao Mao's signature cocktails: Espresso Martini. The rich coffee aroma and smooth taste always make me instantly immersed in it. In addition, the creative cocktails or classics on the wine list are worth a try, and you can even discuss your preferences directly with the bartender and have a flavored drink that is exclusive to you.

For me, returning to Chiayi to meet my family and having a drink at "Casa Bar" is the only way to truly feel at home. If you plan to Travel to Chiayi or Alishan, it is recommended to stay in the city for one night. In addition to tasting Chiayi's famous snacks (turkey rice, casserole fish head, etc.), don't miss ordering a cocktail at "Casa Bar" to experience the unique charm of this city.
