Situated in a lane just off San Min Road, Sportsman's is the latest addition to Changhua's nightlife. The interior is roomy and comfortable with plenty of seating, either at the bar counter or on sofas and armchairs. A welcome attraction is the big-screen projector, used to show live international sports events via satellite. There are also TVs situated throughout the venue so that matches can be viewed from any area of the pub. The atmosphere is similar to that of that of a pub from "home", wherever that may be, where everybody feels welcome and is welcome. It is also a place where you can sit back and enjoy your drink or get up and dance to the variety of music that is playes until the sun comes up. A range of drinks is available with Tiger beer on tap for NT$120, bottled beers from NT$100, cocktails and shots. The owners also plan to offer Western-style meals like hamburgers, pastas, and fish and chips. Barbecues will also be held on a regular basis in the garden area in front of the building. To get there from the rail station, turn left into San Min Road and continue to the Noble Hotel. The lane entrance is almost directly opposite and the pub is 100 meters from San Min Road.
