Taiwan is renowned for its high density of convenience stores. With 7-Eleven and FamilyMart being the major players, boasting a combined total of over 10,000 stores nationwide. Anyone who has visited a convenience store in Taiwan knows that these stores are much more than small supermarkets selling beverages and snacks. They offer a wide range of services, such as bill payment, parcel delivery and receipt, and ticket purchases for trains and events, making them truly convenient.
However, not all convenience stores are the same. Some offer unique services that make them stand out, such as dedicated seating areas, a broader selection of coffee, or even a bar with draft beer. Yes, a small bar with draft beer in a convenience store. Over 400 7-Eleven stores sell draft beer. These stores also provide seating areas, televisions broadcasting live sports events, and a selection of different draft beers, primarily various types of Buckskin Beer, but some also offer Taiwan Beer, Sapporo, Kirin, or Heineken.
These specific 7-Eleven convenience stores are usually located in popular areas frequented by many visitors or tourists. You can find them in almost every major city or region. However, finding these stores can be challenging. The bar and draft beer are not openly advertised, and there are rarely any signs outside the store. One way to locate them is by using the online store inquiry from 7-Eleven, available here: 7-Eleven store inquiry. This tool is only in Chinese and requires you to know your current location, as the results need to be filtered by city and district. Additionally, the map provided is not very clear, making it less useful for travelers unfamiliar with the local district names.
Here is my solution: a Google Maps-based map that shows all 7-Eleven convenience stores with draft beer. The map was created in May 2024 and is based on the 7-Eleven store inquiry. While I couldn’t personally verify all of the 400+ stores, I trust the company’s database is up to date. However, if you are reading this in the future, there may have been changes to the stores. If you visit a 7-Eleven listed on this map and there is no draft beer, please leave me a message, and I will update the map accordingly. You can contact me via the contact page here: Contact Page.
Explore the map, find your nearest 7-Eleven with draft beer, and enjoy a refreshing drink! Cheers!
