British pubs worth a visit
Spots for pints, football and a taste of home for Brits
For Brits in Taipei, the pub is so much more than a place to drink. It's where connections are made, sport is watched, and homesickness is briefly kept at bay.
In a city filled with convenience stores and mom-and-pop eateries, that specific mix of noise, warmth, and conversation is harder to come by.
But it does exist. So whether you are after a proper fry-up with a pint, somewhere to catch the latest Premier League game, or just want to be in a room that looks recognizably like a pub, Taipei has a few spots that do a decent job.
#1: FuMu
British brunch meets nighttime bar
The sign hanging over the corner of a nondescript residential street promising "Eats, Beats, and Seats" immediately draws you in.
There are two moods at FuMu. By day, it's a lively brunch spot. By night, it transforms into a bar.
FuMu takes happy hour and really stretches the concept. Crazy hour runs from 2 PM to 5 PM, with draft beer and wine at only NT$100 and select cocktails half-price.
Regular happy hour runs from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, with beer at NT$150, wine at NT$160, and sangria at NT$200.
If you come during the day, the English breakfast (NT$330) is excellent. Portion sizes are decent (although not as large as in the UK), and the flavors are good, especially the sausage and tomato. There is also a veggie option and plenty of other choices, including chicken wings, a burger, and avocado toast.
The interior feels part trendy bar, part travel scrapbook. There's an abundance of photos, posters, maps, and even a globe dotted around. The warm, yellow lighting makes it easy to while away the hours. Outside, there are one or two tables when the weather behaves.
Prices are on the higher side, especially if you are a Brit capable of knocking back half a dozen pints, but it is a good place to get a taste of home.
FuMu is open between 10 AM and 1 AM from Sunday to Thursday and 10 AM to 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.
#2: On Tap
A spot in Taipei for pints and the Premier League
On Tap bills itself as Taipei's only British pub, and it’s probably the most well-known in the city.
The full-on UK pub energy is real. There's loads of draft beers, from the classics like Stella and Guinness to more obscure ales. The food menu is huge and covers all the essentials you would expect in the UK: fish and chips, burgers, pies, salads, and proper chips with gravy.
From the minute you step in, the decor hits. Union Jacks and British pop culture memorabilia cover the walls. Mix in the loud, familiar music, and it’s easy to forget you’re in Taipei. Live sport is also central to the experience, with screens everywhere. Foreigners flock here to watch the Premier League or the NFL.
During the World Cup, the place stayed open until the early hours, making it a dependable place to watch England lose, together.
Outdoor seating is a huge draw, although that area closes around 9:30 PM. Inside, there’s loads of seating across two floors.
The basement has pool tables and dartboards, which are free to use. The first floor has plenty of bar seating, often filled with business travelers or foreigners who have recently arrived in Taipei and are looking to connect with others. The staff all speak excellent English, adding to the easy, pub-at-home feel.
On Tap’s weekly schedule is packed with themed nights and deals. Expect rotating offers like late-night discounts on multiple types of Jägerbombs between 11 PM and midnight, plus whole-evening themes like ladies’ night, wing night, taco night, and more.
During the week, On Tap opens from 5 PM to 12:30 AM on Monday and Tuesday, until 1:30 AM on Wednesday and Thursday, and until 2:30 AM on Friday. On Saturdays, it’s open from 4 PM to 2:30 AM, and from 4 PM to 12:30 AM on Sundays.
#3: The Three Lions Inn
An English pub in the heart of Maji Square
The Three Lions has long been an emblem of England’s football and cricket teams, and by extension, all things English. This bar leans fully into that identity.
Located in MAJI Square, the Three Lions Inn is an easy break from the busy market during the day and the clubs at night. It sits close to the stage, where there’s often live music, and works especially well for big groups.
The outdoor seating area is massive and mostly covered, making it a reliable option year-round. Indoor seating is more limited than outside, but still fine if you get there early. There is also a section where you can play darts and TVs showing either programmes or live sport.
Although popular with foreigners looking for a taste of home, the majority of the diners were young Taiwanese people indulging in British drinking culture when This Is Taipei visited in February 2026.
The food is standard pub fare, similar to On Tap, but with a better-than-expected range of salads and pastas alongside the classic British favorites. Drinks are what you would expect: Cocktails are strong and there's a good range of non-alcoholic options. They even offer "afternoon tea."
Happy hour runs from 4 PM to 6 PM, but has recently been extended during the week until 8 PM. You can also order beer towers, including a 3-liter tower of Carlsberg for NT$1,020, which is a popular choice among visitors.
The Three Lions Inn is open between 3:30 PM and 11 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 3:30 PM to 1 AM on Fridays, 11 AM to 1 AM on Saturday and 11 AM to 11 PM on Sunday.
In conclusion...
Together, FuMu, On Tap, and The Three Lions Inn cover much of the British pub spectrum in Taipei, from brunch and long happy hours to football nights and big outdoor sessions.
