Taipei's premier Latin nightspot brings together lovers of salsa, reggaeton, and all kinds of Latino music.   The crowd is brimming with international students and expats and the dancefloor pulsates with latin flair.
The drink selection contains all the usual cocktail suspects and a limited selection of imported lagers.  Club M has a variety of weekly theme nights:

Wednesday - Salsa Night
Thursday - Jazz Night
Friday - Latino Night
Saturday - International Night

Most nights see the club halfway to two-thirds full, generating a sub-par experience for most club-goers.   On the busy nights, Club M is an exciting international venue.

With over three decades of partying under its belt establishments can compete with the popularity or longevity of Roxy 99. 

With a brand new location steps from DaAn MRT Station 99 maintains its long held dive bar feeling that attracts lots of students and people who want to party in a causal and completely unpretentious environment. The prices are very reasonable with weekend cover charge set at NT$450 including one standard drink ans a shot of Jaeger. Draft Taiwan beer is just NT$100 and cocktails are all reasonably priced.   

The mix of Western music and cheap drinks makes this place one of the most popular destinations for night life in Taipei, especially for foreigners. As a nightclub with a bar-like atmosphere and decor, Roxy 99 provides a laid back and fun night out in Taipei.  The new venue has 2 floors with the upstairs being far quieter and relaxed.  Other major upgrade of the new location is that the bathrooms are clean and comfortable, a far-cry from the cesspools of old-99.
