Commander D (司令餐飲號)
BDSM-themed gay bar in Ximending, open Tuesday to Sunday evenings, whose themed nights include rope. On Tuesdays it hosts 繩縛不羈夜, a drop-in rope night where guests of any gender can watch or sign up at the bar to be tied by the resident rigger.
Commander D (司令餐飲號) is a basement bar in Ximending, in Taipei’s Wanhua District. The WOM MAP guide lists it as open Tuesday to Sunday from 8 pm to 2 am and closed on Mondays, and its official channel is Instagram. The guide describes a BDSM and subculture bar that suits experienced players as well as newcomers who are curious, and names respect and consent as its core principles. It also notes that the crowd is not exclusively gay.
The bar runs themed nights. The guide names a rope night (繩縛之夜) that treats rope as a visual language of tension and emotion rather than a simple show, a dog night centered on the puppy-play community, and uniform or dress-code nights with set outfits. It does not give a schedule for these nights.
Rope at the bar is tied by a resident rigger. MOrE (墨耳), who runs the Shushi studio in Banqiao, is listed on that studio’s site as resident rope artist for the bar’s monthly Tuesday rope night, 繩縛不羈夜 (“Shibari Unbound Night”). The same page lists MOrE’s 2022 show 夢繩繪 Vol. 2 at Commander D. Venue details and entry rules can change, and the guide advises checking with the bar before a visit.
