Room 18 - havent been there but heard its good.

Plush - havent been there but also heard its good.

A zillion more but those are the main ones us ABC's talk about.
Damn, I haven't been clubbing in Taipei in almost a decade. Good times.

Room 18 is pretty nice (down by the City Hall, Warner Entertainment complex area I think). It's the same ownership consortium as the old Opium Den. Those guys ran some nice clubs.

Plush is interesting: I haven't been either but apparently it's a sphere and a unique architectural experience.

But if the OP is a foreigner, then he may not like going to those places where all the ABC's, local cosmopolitan people hang out. When I used to club, I noticed very few foreigners hanging out at those places. They were deterred by the high prices and "high class" clientele. It's hard for a foreigner to blend in, especially if they are the back packing type. He could always stick with the old "white guy" areas instead if he's more comfortable with that scene.
