Ace8 is a popular poker room in the Songshan District of Taipei, specializing in TLT poker games. They have a consistent flow of poker players throughout the day and night. The room feels like an underground game room, which has a charm. The table and cards seem clean, though the chips we played with were ceramic chips, not our favorite. When we visited, they were playing American Punk Rock music for several hours, which was actually very distracting.
The ambiance of Ace8 is slightly above average, as they did put some effort into player experience. For higher limit games, racing/gaming chairs are provided. If you have a large frame, they are uncomfortable, as the sides of the chairs will dig into your shoulders when sitting back. However, if you have a small frame body, then these are probably very comfortable. The regular seating for other games are perfectly acceptable, but not luxurious by any means.
We enjoyed playing at Ace8. The customer service experience was decent, and they did not make us feel unwelcome in any way as a new player. Near the end of each game, the customer service workers will come by and ask if you’d like to join the next game. Ace8 is located in a convenient area, easily accessed.
