Beitun’s night starts with one question: is there a game tonight?
The Intercontinental Baseball Stadium is at Chongde Rd Sec. 3 No. 835. On game nights the whole district runs on the exit time; on other nights it runs on three Green Line stations. Two timetables, every name and number from the Beitun shop registry.
Game night: run on the exit
Evening games let out around half past nine.
Half past nine to ten, the crowd moves south along Chongde Rd. Sec. 3 No. 125, 1F and 2F, Bistro88light 崇德店, 4.5 stars and over 1,450, the closest to the stadium. Sec. 2 No. 226, 吳留手串燒居酒屋-崇德店, 4.9 stars and over 11,400, the most-reviewed shop on file in Beitun in any category.
What 11,000-plus reviews means: the exit crowd is at the door in ten minutes, and without a booking there is no queue to join, just turn around. Call 04 2241 1112 that afternoon. 紓心禪養生按摩崇德店 at Sec. 2 No. 516 with over 320 is on the same road if you want a massage after.
Half past ten to midnight, sing. Chongde 10th Rd Sec. 1 No. 430, 超級巨星自助式KTV 洲際崇德店, 4.8 stars and over 2,910, five minutes by taxi from the stadium; taxis near the stadium have a wait in that half hour, so walk to Songzhu Station and hail from there. 五星海鮮宴會釣蝦KTV at Dunfu E. St 125, 4.7 stars and over 3,560, does eating, drinking, singing and shrimp fishing in one stop, the pick for big groups.
After midnight the stadium side closes fast. Late-night food is in the Chongde district, covered in Chongde district nights.
Per head: izakaya NT$500 to 800, self-service KTV NT$200 to 400, posted prices rule.
No game: run on three stations
Three Green Line stations, one stretch each, no crossing.
Jiushe Station, Wenxin Rd Sec. 4. No. 249, 足間足體養生按摩館, 4.9 stars and over 2,530, Beitun’s top foot massage, with a bed at seven on Monday through Thursday. No. 717, 1F, 灸居串燒居酒屋—北屯店 寵物友善餐廳, 4.9 stars and over 1,440, dogs welcome. No. 821, 好樂迪KTV 文心店, 4 stars and over 1,650, chain private rooms. The rhythm here: eat at seven, massage at nine, back at the station before eleven.
Songzhu Station, the Chongde district. Wu Liu Shou and Bistro88light are here; on a weekday with no game, Wu Liu Shou takes walk-ins after eight. 揚 居酒屋 at Chongde 10th Rd Sec. 2 No. 111, 4.9 stars and over 680, the quieter backup.
Beitun Main Station, Zhongqing Rd Sec. 2. No. 1023, 超級巨星自助式KTV 經貿旗艦店, 4.6 stars and over 5,310, Beitun’s largest, many rooms, groups of twelve and up come here. No. 1111, 頑板Bar串燒町頑板Bar串燒町, 4.9 stars and over 1,740, eat before you sing. 湯村足體養生會館 at Jingmao 3rd Rd Sec. 2 No. 68 with over 1,150, massage after.
Plainly put, on a non-game night one station end to end is enough; crossing stations wastes the ride.
Massage, a separate line
Two on Beitun Rd. No. 366, 泰晶殿皇家SPA莊園-北屯會館, 4.9 stars and over 2,930, Beitun’s only big Thai house, reservation-only. No. 198-5, 世足養生館, 4.7 stars and over 1,320. 木野養生會館 at Changping E. 3rd Rd 10 with over 1,820.
Foot massage NT$800 to 1,200 an hour, Thai ninety minutes NT$1,200 to 1,800, posted prices rule.
Warnings
Bars, cocktails, clubs: Beitun has none. Twenty minutes on the Green Line to City Hall Station, the Qiqi district is there.
Saturday game, six people, no booking: neither Chongde Rd shop will seat you. Switch to Wanban at Zhongqing Rd Sec. 2 No. 1111, farther from the stadium, one notch quieter.
Dakeng: not at night. Hillside shops close as the evening goes on; Beitun’s night is on Chongde Rd, not on the mountain.
Last train around midnight, Taichung Metro’s notice rules. If you drink, taxi or designated driver. Choosing a KTV is covered in Beitun KTV and late-night eats, and citywide in How to choose a Taichung KTV.
