Serving up American style diner food accompanied with American, European and Taiwanese beers, Hooters (near Taipei 101) is blessed with skyline views and located on the 14th floor of the Far Eastern Department Store Xinyi A13 Store.

Whilst some of the Hooter waitress outfits can be a tad revealing / skimpy, Hooters is a popular bar and great place to watch live sports in Taipei, including Taiwan baseball games (and live on the huge HDTV screens).

Hooters is also one of the best places to watch the Superbowl in Taipei (plus other live sports events).

Why should you visit? Taipei Hooters has huge… menus and is always busy for after-work drinks, lunch-time specials plus sunset sessions. Better yet, the happy hour at Xinyi runs every day from 3pm to 6pm and is buy 1 get 1 on selected draft beer.

From tipples to the rooftop terrace, the food menu to Hooters merchandise, here is our guide to visiting Taipei Hooters in Taiwan (+ photos) in 2024.

Taipei Hooters – why visit?

Hooters restaurants are well known around the world – there are over 420 Hooters restaurants in almost 30 countries, including the USA, UK, Taiwan and Thailand.

Hooters is perhaps best known for their good-looking waitresses serving big plates of food and Taipei Hooters is no different (but hopefully this is not your main reason for visiting).

Unlike other Hooters branches, Hooters Xinyi has one of the best rooftop bars in Taipei plus it has great food and drink specials including a 3.5 hour daily happy hour (more on this later).

Hooters is also one of the best spots to catch live sports including Taiwan baseball, UK Premier League football matches plus NFL games and the Super Bowl.

Based on our visits, you are as equally likely to see a family or young group of Taiwanese friends visit here as you are Taipei finance district workers or expats and tourists.

We’ve tried the baja fish tacos and buffalo chicken salad at Hooters Taipei which we really enjoyed.

However, on our latest visit, we shared the Tex Mex nachos and didn’t really enjoy them (soggy nachos, not much meat and terrible squeezy cheese) – so the food can be a bit hit and miss depending on your tastes.

The best bit about Xinyi Hooters is the outdoor deck – unless you are watching live sports on the screens inside, we’d recommend grabbing a table outside to soak up the Taipei 101 views (especially at sunset).

Be sure to reserve your tables in advance though if you want a prime position, especially at the weekends.

The ‘Breast’ Hooters beer glasses ever

If you are planning on visiting Taipei Hooters Xinyi, take a tip from us – order the draft Taiwan Beer during the Happy Hour.

Not only is it very cheap (it works out at $NT94 a pint – well, 500ml) but it is served in the special and rather curvy Hooters beer glasses. We weren’t expecting to be served such ‘shapely’ beer glasses so caveat emptor (but it does make for a unique photo opportunity).

Whilst the concept is rather out-dated (and a bit naff), it was quite a surreal experience – and if you want to buy such a Hooters beer glass / mug to take home, they can be bought for $NT499 in the merchandise shop inside the bar.
