Jolly Brewery & Restaurant – Neihu

Jolly (卓莉手工釀啤酒+泰食餐廳) has seventeen registered house beers, brewed to complement the sour-and-spicy food rather than compete with it. The menu is creative Thai and Taiwanese fusion rather than a straight Bangkok reproduction, served in an American rustic room of brick walls and beer-can light fittings.

It's on Minquan East Road near Huzhou MRT, and vegan options are available on request. Note: lunch and dinner are separate sittings with a break between. Budget around NT$1,000 a head; this is a restaurant with a brewery, not a bar.
