About Cat Walk Piano Bar
Cat Walk is a piano bar located in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, covering 171.9 square meters. The triangular site and the fixed position of the restroom shaped the layout. A curved hallway bypasses the restroom and is decorated with laser cut images of upside down wine glasses. The front door faces the stage, with the bar counter on the left and the seats in the middle. Thick blue velvet curtains on the large window walls absorb sound, while red velvet curtains frame the stage. Curved ceiling grilles also absorb sound and separate the seating areas.
