From a drugstore to an old enchanting Chinese-themed bar
Tai Soon Bar used to be a drugstore but has been transformed into a paradise for nightlife revellers by blending the old features with a Chinese-themed bar.
As you gaze at the lounge from the outside, it’s evident that this building has stood for at least 100 years. The walls appear weathered and worn. Despite their condition, the inviting glow of the red lights emanating from the tavern beckons you to step inside and explore.
