Following a successful debut at Taipei Dome two years ago and second Tainan branch, Sports Nation has opened in Taichung's new mega-mall. Part of the Le Ble D'or and Sunmai beer/restaurant group, this 90-seat sports-themed establishment's central focus is a curved wall with 16 taps, where customers use in-house stored-value cards to help themselves to various craft beers and other drinks. A big stock exchange-style LED board above the taps indicates which drinks are currently up or down, based on popularity. Like stock prices, this drives specific drink prices up by as much as 120% or down by as much as 50%. A sports stadium-like ticket gate entrance, sports jersey-clad waiters and plenty of screens showing sporting competitions is part of the themed experience. The sizable dining menu includes various American/Tex-Mex dishes incorporating Taichung ingredients, from Dongquan Chili Sauce to Dajia taro and Fengyuan pork ribs. Steaks, burgers, tacos, Cajun seafood, Buddha bowls, grilled meat skewers, chicken wings, salads and pastas are all available.

繼兩年前於台北大巨蛋成功開幕,以及台南拓展了第2家分店後,Sports Nation 進駐台中新開幕的大型購物中心。隸屬於金色三麥與SUNMAI啤酒餐飲集團,這間擁有約90個座位的運動主題餐廳,以弧形牆面上的16吋啤酒龍頭為核心亮點,顧客可使用店內儲值卡,自助取用名式精釀啤酒與其他飲品。

龍頭上方設有大型股票交易所風格的LED看板,依據飲品人氣顯示價格漲跌。就像股價一樣,部分飲品價格最高可上漲120%,或下降至最多50%,增添互動與趣味性。入口設計成運動場風格的驗票閣門,服務人員身穿球衣,多個螢幕同步播放各類運動賽事,整體營造完整沉浸式運動氣圍。

餐點方面,提供多樣美式與德州墨西哥風味料理,並融入台中在地食材如:東泉辣椒醬、大甲芋頭與豐原排骨等。菜單涵蓋牛排、漢堡、塔可、卡津海鮮、佛跌碗、烤肉甲、雞翅、沙拉與義大利麵等多元選擇。
