I arrived late at night and within minutes we were part of the conversations. The owners, as busy they were, had always time for a small talk an showed great professionalism. Within 50 days of searching and trying it just took me 10 minutes here...to say, one of the top places in Tainan. Great Beers, great very attending service and its also a very entertaining place thanks to the mix of customers from students to expats... Sure already my favorite spot for a night out or just for a couple of beers..More

Good place to have a fresh beer, it also accommodates vegetarians with their veggie burger. Thumbs up.

This place has a lot going for it: obscure 80s films projected onto grainy wood by the bar (humanoids from the deep, for our visit), semi-professional beer logos painted around the cornice, a black cat, and a decent selection of local beers and good bar...food. It's doubtless more geared towards a western palate. I'm a big ipa proponent - they had about 4, some local - but got a great suggestion for a local blonde ale that had a fair amount of hoppiness to it. The "spicy bites" (jalapeño poppers) were not particularly spicy, but were definitely homemade and delicious. Also had some bean dip with tortilla chips, which is a filling bar snack with cheese and sour cream. Not a big place, but has bar, cocktail, and outdoor seating. Probably would have come back had I been staying in Tainan longer than a few nights.More

As a fan of craft beers, I am always looking for a place to drink local (and non-local) craft beers. Dive bar and grub hut is definitely such a place. Wide variation of craft beers (Taiwanese, American, European), good pub food (veggie burger, fries, chicken...burger, nacho's ), and good company/conversation. What more could you want.More

Great spot! Popped in for a beer and got home 3 (or so) hours later. The food is great and the staff is awesome! If you're looking for an extensive menu, this isn't place, but what they do, they do well. p.s. If you bring...some love, you'll leave with more.More

Any night of the week, this is a consistently good bar. It doesn't do anything phoney or fancy, it just does it right. The owners are the bartenders, and they want to have a good time just like you. You'll find everything from cheap beers...to specialty beers, and good mixed drinks. The food tastes good too. Dive is located on a busy part of Haian Rd, so you can hop to other bars or tea shops or some artsy shops, or just slightly further down the road check out Flower Garden Night Market.More

Decent food, good wings and fries. The place itself is a little small, but cozy. It's run by a couple of Canadian guys who are friendly.

It's a nice bar to hang out with friends or watch sport games. They have many kinds of beer and their french fries is the best one I've ever had in Tainan. In the midnight, after night markets, Dive is the best place for you...to have second round and the owner is very friendly and humorous.More

Was brought by a taiwenese to this place after being thought i will prefer western bar. The bar setup is in ordinary side but the beers are fairly cheap, ordered a hotdog plate which taste normal as well. In my opinion, this is a not...bad place to chill out with friends in tainan but do not expect surprises or excitement over hereMore

A great place to have drinks and some of the most delicious food in Tainan. Their menu is short and sweet. I love the black bean burger and the chicken sandwich. The bartenders/owners are friendly and make excellent drinks.

We went here during Dragon-boat festival while walking around during the day. We checked on TripAdvisor for the nearest restaurant and this one came up. We also then realized it was one of the highest rated eateries in Tainan and with good reason. We had...drinks and food there around 6 PM then went back to our hotel to cool off. We went to a fee bars later on that night but ultimately ended up getting a taxi to go back to the Dive Bar. It is a great place to eat and drink. Dan and Caleb, our bartenders were super friendly and accommodating. I really wish we could have gone back again. I highly recommend this bar to any and everyone visiting Tainan. In addition to the great food and drinks and friendly staff, they have outdoor seating and indoor seating with AC,More

The West Central District is the most populous and the

district, and the long-standing history results in a
variety of street food. In addition to that, this
district also has the highest number of temples. This
is how it got the name “Tainan’s Pantheon.” Historic

Unfortunately, no we don't show NFL football games, due to the time difference and the lack of an early morning audience for them. I believe Drifter's (another expat bar in Tainan) shows reruns of the games at night, if that... More
