Raohe runs one-way: in from the Songshan Station end, pepper buns, herbal ribs, out at the temple end — and it's only 9:30. The good news: everything you need to close the night sits in walking range.
Option one: stay on the street
Few people notice the market street has bars. BAR MOUNCEAN at No. 155 pours cocktails in the middle of the crowd-flow; TimeBeer at No. 136-1 is a craft-beer counter for washing down that pepper bun. Zero extra steps.
Option two: ten minutes out
Qinglou on Bade Rd Sec. 4 turns Chinese food into drinking food with a couple thousand reviews behind it; toward Civic Blvd, izakaya like Hachichiyo and Yoru Saku hold Songshan's late shift — 9:30 seating is no problem. Full roster on the Songshan bar list.
Option three: surrender your feet
Foot Print Raohe branch sits at No. 213 — the market exit flows straight into it. Forty minutes buys the walk back. More options, foot to Thai, on the Songshan massage list.
Getting home
Rail on both ends: TR Songshan Station and MRT Songshan within five minutes. After drinks, forget the car — train, cab or designated driver. To stretch the night, ViBES on Nanjing E. Rd sings until late. The whole district is on the Songshan guide; for the same market-to-bar logic elsewhere, see Ximending late night.
