To Infinity and Beyond sits on a lane off Dunhua South Road in Taipei's Da'an District, and it has earned a place on Asia's 50 Best Bars. The room pairs inventive cocktails with the kind of warm service that keeps regulars coming back.
The Asia's 50 Best listing puts it among the most respected cocktail rooms in the city. That recognition is the clearest signal of the bar's standing in a crowded Da'an scene.
Who would love it: drinkers who want a polished, creative cocktail in a room with real hospitality. Who would skip it: anyone after a cheap, casual pint, because this is a craft focused counter.
The space is intimate and considered, built to put the drinks and the bartenders at the centre. The mood leans calm and grown up rather than loud.
The cocktails are the reason to book. The menu runs on house builds and creative twists rather than a fixed list of classics, and the bartenders are happy to steer a guest toward the right glass.
Order from the signature menu first, where the bar's point of view shows clearest. Expect upper end Da'an pricing, in line with the bar's reputation and its place on the regional list.
The room is small, so reservations are the smart move, especially on weekends. A seat at the bar is the best spot to watch the builds and talk to the team.
Service is part of the draw. Guides and reviewers single out the hospitality alongside the drinks, which is part of why the bar climbed the regional rankings.
Regulars and the trade press, including Difford's Guide and Asia's 50 Best, point to the inventive menu and the welcome. The common note is to book ahead, because the room fills fast.
It suits a date that wants a serious cocktail, a pair of enthusiasts, or visitors who want to drink at one of the city's best regarded rooms. It is less suited to a large group after a loud night.
The Dunhua South Road location keeps it close to the heart of Da'an's cocktail cluster. That makes it easy to pair with another counter a few minutes away.
The mix of creative drinks and genuine hospitality is the identity here. It is the reason the bar reads as more than a list of clever builds.
Prices sit at the higher end for the area, which matches the reputation and the craft. A couple of drinks costs more than a standard neighbourhood bar, and the quality is the reason.
The bar has built its name on consistency rather than a single famous drink. Each visit tends to bring a new build, which is part of why regulars keep returning.
The Dunhua South Road setting puts it in good company, surrounded by some of the city's most awarded counters. That density makes the area an easy night out for anyone chasing Taipei's best cocktails.
The room rewards a booking over a walk in. Securing a seat in advance means a calmer visit and a better chance to talk through the menu with the team.
For travellers working through the Asia's 50 Best list, this is one of Taipei's accessible entries. The welcome is warm and the drinks live up to the ranking without any fuss. It is an easy place to see why Taipei has become one of Asia's serious cocktail destinations.
