To Infinity & Beyond, Taipei

Venues & Concepts

Inside the Experience

Stepping into To Infinity & Beyond feels like crossing the boundary between Earth and orbit. The entrance alone sets the tone. As the space-themed automatic doors glide open, you are met with a soft silver glow, shifting lights and an ambience reminiscent of a futuristic spacecraft. The room hums gently with conversation and cosmic music, and for a moment, it feels as though time stretches differently here. The interior is sleek yet psychedelic, modern yet playful, a balance that makes you immediately curious about what comes next.

The bar’s concept is grounded in the idea that every cocktail is its own universe. Rather than focusing on traditional categories, the team divides its beverages into three textural dimensions: creaminess, clarification and carbonation. This novel approach allows guests to choose drinks based purely on sensory preference, making even the most complex creations surprisingly accessible.

At the helm is Mars Chang, the 2021 World Class Taiwan Bartender of the Year, whose scientific approach shapes the bar’s identity. Behind the counter, centrifuges, distillation equipment and advanced tools whirl and hum, treating ingredients with laboratory precision. Yet despite the high-tech methods, the drinks never feel clinical. If anything, they feel deeply expressive, colourful and joyfully strange in the best ways.

Take the signature (EARTH)²⁰²⁵. It mirrors the primal essence of soil and forest through pine needles, woody palo santo, pink peppercorns and aromatic botanicals. It tastes like hiking at dusk, herbal and grounding with a mystical edge. Then there’s Σ(stars) = GALAXY, a shimmering, backlit creation using red guava, jasmine-scented tea, coconut, green pepper and Nikka Coffey Gin. As the drink catches the light, it looks like a tiny cosmos in a glass.

Other guests rave about the Beyond Watermelon, praised for its elevated smoothie-like texture with bright citrus notes, and the B², an apple-forward clarified cocktail with a creamy mouthfeel from milk washing. For those who prefer comfort, the carbonation series includes drinks like #CARBONATION LOVE ≈ BREAD, blending rose geranium, banana Hennessy, hinoki, hibiscus kombucha and CO₂ for something warm, cozy and softly sparkling.

The bartenders present each cocktail with quiet enthusiasm, offering thoughtful explanations without overwhelming. They are friendly, conversational and patient even with first-timers, making solo guests feel just as comfortable as groups. Many reviewers describe the team as “lovely,” “refreshing,” and “genuinely passionate.”

Food options remain casual and fun. Think spicy dumplings, chicken fillets, fries and the bar’s well-loved Mars dish. Portions are generous for a cocktail bar, and the flavours work harmoniously with the drinks’ bold profiles.

The space itself is small and intimate, perfect for dates, nights out with friends or even quiet solo exploration. Light bounces softly off metallic surfaces, creating an atmosphere that feels immersive without being overwhelming. It’s easy to lose track of time here, drifting between conversations, glowing drinks and the bar’s subtle cinematic details.

By the time you leave, the outside world feels oddly distant. You step back into Taipei with a lighter heart, a floatier mind and the unmistakable impression that you just spent an evening on another planet.
