Reload Energy Craft Beer

Opened in 2018, Reload has been recognised by Lonely Planet as the place where young Kaohsiung beer lovers gather to discuss local politics over a strong ale. Taiwanese craft labels rotate on draught alongside imports, and the extensive bottle fridge is for drinking in or taking away. Multiple TVs and a spacious room keep it lively but relaxed.

It's on Linquan Street, well connected by MRT. Come once you've done the waterfront taprooms and want to see where the city's own beer community drinks.
