Wiki and me, enjoying a night out in Kenting (or was it Tainan?)

You are so at the perfect place to start your search for Kenting nightlife. I’ve been traveling / living around the Kenting / Hengchun / Manzhou area for more than 1 years, so I know the best spots all over the place. Ready…? Leave your scooter or car keys at home… Let’s Go… Party on!

Kenting Village Nightlife

Alex Reggae Bar

Alex’s booze truck and BBQ grill by the road is the place you wanna be at if you’ll be having drinks in Kenting village. There’s a couple of similar booze vans nearby, close to Little Bay, but Alex is the only one I recommend. Why? Well his food is really good. The beef and chicken legs are my favorite, it comes with hot chili sauce, and it’s just perfect with his icy cold Taiwan beer on tap.

Phone: +886920560586
Hours: 7pm to 2am every day, sometimes closed on Monday

Little Bay Beach Bar

At Little Bay (小灣 xiǎo wān) this beautiful and large wooden terrace offers one of the best “drinking on the beach” experience. Unfortunately, the list of cocktails is not extensive and the service is far from the best, but the view is great and the vibe is nice on quiet (no wind) evenings. Little Bay Beach Bar is my favorite spot to sip a cold one while listening to the sound of the waves.

Address: No. 6號, Kending Road, Hengchun Township
Phone: +88688861888
Hours: 10am to 12am, every day

Player 玩家燒烤啤酒吧

Party animals will love Player! This is where the biggest parties in Kenting are sometimes thrown, like around New Year’s eve, or other special holiday. They always have a full menu, cocktails, dart boards, and friendly staff to welcome and serve you. I like that you can sit either outside at big wooden tables, or inside, covered from the wind which can be an annoyance during the colder winter months.

Address: No. 20-1號, Dawan Road, Hengchun Township
Phone: +886935986215
Hours: 6pm to 4am every day, 6pm to 12am on Wednesday

Nightlife in Hengchun

Newcut Warehouse 鈕扣倉庫

Newcut Warehouse is a massive funky warehouse turned into a bar / art exhibition / skateboarding park / live music venue. When I say massive, I mean very big. It’s like 500 pings or more. It’s nearby the Hengchun Night Market, and it’s one of the coolest places in town to have a beer with locals and listen to live music and watch random, quirky performances.

Address: No. 12號, Hengxi Road, Hengchun Township
Phone: +88688883578
Hours: 6pm – 1:30am every day

Doju 阿威的店(多久)

Small bar not too far from Newcut Warehouse, also on the night market street. Gets quite busy on weekends, so you might have to squeeze in a corner or stand. Food is solid, I personally love their steak and the grilled salmon. Beers sold by the big bottle, which is a huge plus if you’re a fast drinker and the staff is too busy to serve you. Definitely a younger crowd / local holiday-workers venue.

Address: Hengchun Township, Fude Road, 139號號
Phone: +886915200110
Hours: 5pm to 1am

Nightlife in Nanwan

Cowboys Beach Bar and Grill

Cowboys obviously needs no introduction, but I will still mention it because it’s owned by my good friends Niki and her husband Ian. It’s the one bar in Kenting where I spend the most time (and money) at.

You can find Cowboy at Le Huo 樂活 South Bay Recreation Area, where there’s a massive wooden patio with a bunch of little bars which all look the same. But Cowboy is not the same.

Niki and her staff will treat you nicely, make sure your glass is never even close to empty, and chat with you if you sit at the bar. Ian (guy with the cowboy hat in the above picture) often plays live music here, and so do other live performers. Ambiance-wise, Cowboys is unbeatable.

Address: No. 223 Nanwan Road Unit 1, Hengchun Township
Phone: +886919418511
Hours: Closed on Monday, open from around 12 noon til very late the other days

Nightlife at Baishawan

Happy Panda 快樂白沙

I’m not 100% sure what this place is called anymore, as it’s changed a couple of times in the past few years. I think it’s Happy Baisha, but their Google info still says Happy Panda. Regardless, this bar has got a really good location, right on the northern end of Baisha Beach, facing the sea. It’s basically the only place in the area where you can sit down and have a proper drink. It’s pretty cool and laidback, but can get seriously crowded on weekends during high season. I believe the bar is owned by the campground, but who knows with this place…

Address: Hengchun Township, 白砂路31-2號號 94645
