Hennessy REALM OF MIX at Xinyi A19 Through October 25

Hennessy Artistry presents REALM OF MIX at the Xinyi A19 outdoor plaza in front of Café from Mars, Taipei, from October 16–25, 2026. A red container bar, DJ stage and street food form the temporary venue. Admission is free subject to crowd control, while food and drinks are charged separately. Cocktails made with V.S.O.P. and ginger ale or milk tea still contain alcohol.

Key Facts

  • The location is Xinyi A19 Outdoor Plaza, and the event will last until October 25, 2026.
  • Monday to Thursday 18:00–21:00, Friday and Saturday 15:00–23:00, Sunday 15:00–21:00.
  • A surprise performance will be arranged at 21:00 on October 23 and 24, and an Open Mic and DJ mixing event will be held from 21:30.

V.S.O.P., Ginger Ale and Milk Tea

This blended drink is based on Hennessy V.S.O.P., bringing the cognac into a more familiar daily flavor. The bubbles of Ginger Ale and the tea aroma of milk tea provide different mixing directions; even if the appearance is similar to ordinary milk-tea drinks or sodas, it does not mean that there is no alcohol.

There are also street food such as burgers on site, so that drinks and music do not only exist in traditional bar seats. The actual menu, prices and ingredients should still be inquired on site. Those who have dietary restrictions on milk, tea or other ingredients should also confirm first. It is not advisable to judge only from photos.

Red Containers and a DJ Stage

The space is identified by red containers and white Hennessy logos, and the DJ stage combines sound equipment, LED backboards and lighting. The red oil drum table and open configuration allow visitors to stay outdoors, watch performances and dine; the colors in the night photos come from the combination of the installation and the on-site lighting.

The comfort of outdoor venues will be affected by weather, crowds and performance times. If you want to mainly watch the installation, you can choose a more suitable opening time first; if you mainly go there for music, you should check the day's program and admission control. Free admission does not mean that there will be space at any time.

October 23–24 Music Programme

SHOU performed at the opening show at 21:00 on October 16. The photographs record that completed event, rather than a promise that he will perform every subsequent night. DJs are scheduled during the event’s weekends, with surprise performances listed for October 23 and 24 from 21:00–21:30.

Then there is the Open Mic & DJ Mashup Party from 21:30–23:00, which combines Chinese pop songs with cross-genre remixes. "Pass The Golden Mic" is an on-site interactive session, and the participation method is arranged by the staff. Unannounced performers will not be guessed in advance. If the program is adjusted, the organizer's announcement will prevail.
