Jolly手工釀啤 酒泰食餐廳-內湖店 (Jolly Brewery + Restaurant — Neihu) brings its own craft beer, Thai food, and gatherings around televised sports into one space, making it a distinctive restaurant around Huzhou (葫洲站). Signature long shrimp cakes, tangy salads, and Beef Curry with a lingering kick all suit sharing. Fruit tea takes over for those who don't drink. If you're looking for somewhere in Neihu to eat a proper meal and linger over conversation, this offers more food to work with than a straightforward sports bar.
● JOLLY Shrimp Cakes
These come as long strips rather than the usual triangular slices. The thin shell is crisp, and the shrimp paste inside is firm and springy, with a clear shrimp texture as you bite. A dab of sweet-tart plum sauce lifts the fried richness. They work well in the center of the table as the first round of food with drinks.
● Cuttlefish Salad
Crisp cuttlefish is tossed with basil, green chili, lemon juice, and fish-sauce flavors. Tang, heat, and savory saltiness arrive together, with onion and tomato adding a little fresh sweetness. On a hot day, or when the table is full of meat dishes, it does a good job of refreshing the palate.
● Drunken Beef
Lightly coated beef slices stay tender as they are stir-fried with Shaoxing wine and dried chilies. Both the wine and spice aromas are pronounced, with crisp cashews adding texture. It's a dish with character, good with rice and quite capable of prompting another beer.
● Beef Curry
Yellow curry with coconut milk wraps around tender potatoes and beef. The first impression is rich and silky, then the chili oil's heat slowly emerges. If you're sensitive to spice, don't let the first bite fool you—test it with rice. If you like heat, this will hit the spot.
● Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste
The water spinach keeps its crunch, the shrimp paste is richly savory, and chili lifts the flavor. A classic reason to keep reaching for the rice. If you've already ordered curry and meat, greens help balance the table, though the seasoning is still far from mild.
● Dark Beer Tiramisu
Ladyfingers absorb dark-beer flavor, with beer aromas more prominent than in a usual coffee tiramisu. Smooth cheese rounds off the bittersweet edge, making this a distinctly grown-up dessert.
● Fresh Fruit Tea
The fruit makes its presence felt. Sweet-tart and refreshing, the tea cools the palate alongside spicy Thai dishes and is a dependable drink for non-drinkers or a group with older family members.
For a group meal, open with JOLLY Shrimp Cakes and Cuttlefish Salad, then add Drunken Beef, Beef Curry, and Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste. Ask about that day's craft beers to explore the brand's specialty, then finish with Dark Beer Tiramisu. Leave the drinks to Fresh Fruit Tea if you don't drink alcohol.

📌 The editor's closing thoughts
Jolly's strength is that the food can fill out a table in its own right, instead of simply accompanying a beer. The long JOLLY Shrimp Cakes stand out, Cuttlefish Salad opens the appetite, Drunken Beef and Beef Curry turn up the spice and aromas, and Dark Beer Tiramisu takes the final turn. For a place in Neihu to eat, drink, and spend proper time together, it's a useful combination.
