Choose the evening you want: following one fixture closely, or combining the match with a group night out. This guide compares two documented options in different parts of Taipei. It is a starting shortlist, not a league table of the best bars, and it does not count a separate event at the same address as another venue.

01
Choose your part of the city
Fuxing North Road: start with the schedule
The Brass Monkey has official event and weekly-schedule pages. Check your fixture first, then navigate to No. 166 Fuxing North Road rather than relying on the brand name alone.
Gongguan: add games to the evening
89 Loop is on the second floor on Roosevelt Road. Its booking page lists darts and electronic table games, useful options to ask about when your group includes non-fans.

Compare the venues
Source-based selections, not rankings or first-hand reviews. Confirm the exact match directly. Full venue pages are currently in Chinese.
The official events page includes Premier League and rugby entries plus a weekly schedule. Use those dated listings to check a fixture, then ask about your seat and the day's screening through the venue's reservation channels.
166 Fuxing North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei台北市中山區復興北路166號
The FunNow listing describes PONGConnect table games and DartsLive darts at this second-floor venue. Consider those facilities when planning a group outing, but do not treat a booking package as confirmation of a particular live match.
Where should I check Premier League, rugby or UFC screenings in Taipei?
Start with The Brass Monkey's official event page and weekly schedule. Check the year and date because older events may remain online. A sports category is not a promise to show every fixture. For simultaneous games, name your teams and ask which screen will carry your match.
Does a sports bar automatically show MLB or NBA games?
No. This shortlist is not today's television schedule. US fixtures may take place in the Taiwan morning, outside normal bar hours. Send the local date, time and teams and wait for confirmation, including whether the venue will stay open if play runs late.
How do I choose between 89 Loop and The Brass Monkey?
If checking a published event schedule comes first, start with The Brass Monkey. If darts or table games are part of your plan, explore 89 Loop's booking options. This is a comparison of documented facilities and information, not a first-hand judgment of food or service.
What should international visitors prepare?
The Brass Monkey's official pages include English event information and a Romanized address. 89 Loop's linked booking information is in Chinese. Ask either venue about English menus, communication and accepted payments. Keep the Chinese address and floor number for your driver or map app.
What matters when booking and planning the trip home?
Different 89 Loop booking packages have different conditions, so read the exact offer rather than assuming one minimum spend or time limit applies to all. At either venue, confirm group size, table duration and any deposit before arranging transport. Check the last service for your route if the game ends late.
