Luzhou’s night: three streets, one index.
No timeline, no color blocks. Sanmin Rd, Zhongyuan Rd, Changrong Rd, each does one job. Two MRT stations, each feeding one street. Every name and number comes from the Luzhou shop registry.
Sanmin Rd: eat
MRT Luzhou Station, Sanmin Rd 386, B1. Exit south, numbers descending.
No. 121, 米炭火燒肉小酒館（蘆洲三民店）, 4.9 stars and 3,700 reviews, the most-reviewed shop on file in Luzhou. Next door at No. 125, 京田津日式居酒屋-蘆洲三民店, 4.8 stars and over 990. No. 139, 醉餓感餐酒館Drunk&Hungry-蘆洲聚餐餐廳, 4.9 stars and over 490. No. 150, 鳩澤郎 日料 串燒 居酒屋, over 380.
Four shops within thirty house numbers. NT$500 to 800 a head, posted prices rule.
Friday and Saturday from seven to nine, No. 121 without a booking means a half-hour wait at least, phone 02 2282 2525. Weekdays after eight, walk in.
No. 569 has one more, 沐玥健康會館, 4.6 stars and over 580, the only massage on Sanmin Rd; if you do not want to change streets after dinner, it is the one.
Zhongyuan Rd: drink, then lie down
About ten minutes on foot from Luzhou Station, or three by taxi.
Zhongyuan Rd’s izakayas are smaller than Sanmin’s. No. 49, 吾吉炭火居酒屋, 4.9 stars and over 660. No. 53, 品夜現代居酒屋, 4.9 stars and over 360. No. 26, 老串角居酒屋-蘆洲店, 330. Few seats, call ahead on weekends.
Three massage shops in a row. No. 76, 1F, 雅竹spa美學館, a perfect score and over 390; No. 78, 佳展足體養生館, 4.7 stars and over 340; No. 82, 宏泰古法養生館, 4.9 stars and over 380. No. 47, 1F, adds 三三養生舘 with over 190.
Thirty meters from the last drink to a bed. Foot massage about NT$800 to 1,200 an hour, posted prices rule. This is Luzhou’s least-effort street.
Changrong Rd: close out
Changrong Rd is long, numbers from 38 to 703.
No. 207, 蔦燒日式居酒屋-蘆洲店, 4.9 stars and over 3,220, Luzhou’s second-thickest. Lane 46 No. 2, 玖酒炭烤酒吧, over 150, for anyone who wants to drink later.
Massage is scattered at both ends. No. 38-8, 薇格養生舘, 4.9 stars and 350; No. 327, 羽岑足體養生館, 4.9 stars and 508; No. 663, 喜瑞足體養生館(足體按摩), 4.8 stars and 709; No. 349, 舒可泰泰式SPA會館, over 110, the only Thai on Changrong Rd.
No. 663 is far from Luzhou Station, five minutes by taxi. Pick it for a late close-out and you will not be competing with the Sanmin Rd crowd.
The temple: another index
Desheng St 96, Yonglian Temple and Luzhou Night Market. Five minutes on foot from Sanmin Senior High School Station (Sanmin Rd 105, B1).
Stalls until midnight, NT$200 to 300 a head. Luzhou temple night covers how to eat it, Luzhou late-night map covers after midnight. Not repeated here.
Three warnings
Clubs, dancing: Luzhou has none. Cross the bridge to Taipei.
Saturday at eight, six people, no booking: Sanmin Rd 121 will not seat you; call Zhongyuan Rd 49 instead, or try your luck at Changrong Rd 207.
Driving to the temple: Desheng St has nowhere to park. Use a paid lot on the outer ring and walk five minutes. If you drink, taxi or designated driver.
How to choose a massage is in Sanchong and Luzhou massage houses.
