Delicious foods in Kaohsiung

76 Bar And Grill


76 Bar And Grill sits on a fairly busy street across the street from the Greenbay Kitchen set on the curve in the road. Notice the Love River from this Kaohsiung's bar/restaurants entrance. Enjoy its light pastel walls, quasi-pop memorabilia hanging around and a cozy western pub eel. Seems to suit the younger generation. A nice change of pace for this area of the Love river. Hopefully you can catch the owner, who is fluent in English, a local named Miller. He is a super fun polite surfer dude.

One other thing that separates Rueifong Night Market to the rest of the night markets around the country is its different layout, rather than spreading out along the streets stretching down the road, Rueifong was formed in a large rectangle in the size of a large city block containing over 500 stalls in total.
