๐ฅ I Drank Cocktails at Starbucks?! (Dream Plaza Reserve) ๐ธ
I drank cocktails at a Starbucks?! ๐ธ Exploring the massive Starbucks Reserve Dream Plaza flagship in Taipeiโs Xinyi District. From the hidden "Interior Rooftop" to a full Mixology Bar, this isn't your neighborhood coffee shop.
Dร jiฤ hวo! Today we are doing a deep dive into the 6th floor of the Dream Plaza. Most people come for the latte, but Iโm here to test the rumors about their exclusive cocktail bar. This is one of the most unique Starbucks Reserve flagships in the world, featuring an interior "outdoor" garden, the elite Sirenโs Lounge, and arguably the best view of Taipei 101 in the city.
Whether Iโm navigating the humid backstreets of Taipei or exploring the suburban sprawl of the States, my perspective remains the same. ๐ The Amaiwan Perspective: Iโm Billy, and I split my life 50/50 between the US and Taiwan. Subscribe to Amaiwan Traveler for a โnot-so-polishedโ look at the gritty backstreets, survival guides, and the authentic pulse of life on both sides of the Pacific.
๐บ๏ธ What This Video Covers
Weโre going behind the scenes of Taipeiโs newest landmark to see if a Starbucks cocktail bar is actually WORTH THE HYPE. Iโm testing out their Classic Old Fashioned and a unique Tea-based cocktail, paired with some surprising snacksโyes, Starbucks chicken wings and a pork sandwich!
๐ Quick Facts & Highlights
โ The Mixology Bar: A full-service bar tucked inside the Reserve flagship, a first for the Taipei coffee scene.
โ Local Spirits: The Classic Old Fashioned & Tea Bourbon Old Fashion
โ Faux Rooftop: An architectural interior garden that gives you the outdoor vibe without the Taipei humidity.
โ Sirenโs Lounge: A plush, reservation-ready area that feels more like a boutique hotel than a cafe.
โ 101 Backdrop: Floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a front-row seat to the Taipei 101 tower.
๐ฌ Community Question
