David’s Deer Pub

From our archives, Compass Magazine, Jan. 2002

The US deer-crossing road sign outside clearly marks David’s Deer Pub, which is situated amidst the cluster of watering holes behind China Medical College Hospital. The name, incidentally, was inspired by the fact that many neighbors are also named after animals–Frog II, Whale Pub and so on. Customers can sit inside or outside in this comfortable-looking place and enjoy drinks or one of the reasonably-priced Chinese set meals, including three cups chicken, Japanese fried shrimp, and curry pork/chicken rice. Bottled beers are NT$100 to NT$120 and Miller draft starts at NT$90, going up to NT$700 for the cheapest 4,000cc keg on the block (buy two, get one free). There are also a few cocktails, black, milk and flower teas, soft drinks and various snacks.
