Movies: Sundays
Not much going on on Sundays. My favorite thing to do is to enjoy a movie. I recommend Multiplaza in Escazu, but if distance is a problem you might wanna try Mall San Pedro. Please it is just a movie...

The bets place for electronic music. More expensive than the other bars, but it is worth it. Great music and also the food is good. Good spot for dancing, drinking, eating, meeting interesting people, etc. Definately my best pick. sexy... freaky... kinky... it is like an european club... it is your chance to show off...
Thursdays are ladies night all over the country. Ladies get in between 7 and 8 o'clock. Usually they get unlimited drinks till 10 o'clock when guys can get in the bar. Usually a night of a lot of drinking and dancing. Good night to hook up... Tavarua - San PedroHooligans - HerediaCasa de la Urraca - Tibas I guess anything goes, Tavarua is more casual. Jeans and t-shirt is more than enough. You'll look better well dressed in Hooligans and Casa de la Urraca. But you can go as you please.
It is a replica of an old typical town. The only difference is that no houses are there, only bars and discos! It is my personal favorite, you can find every type of setting you like... and some places are very cheap! Depends on what bar you go to, but for the most part casual wear is enough. Just dress normally.
Caccios and Tavarua are the most popular bars in the street. Mostly University people. Very Good prices. It is better to get there early 'cause it gets a bit crowded. Good place for dancing and drinking. After 1am must go to Roots, a reggae bar just a few minutes away. Very chilled out place with great music. Very casual and comfortable clothes.
In San JoseAs a student in 98, one of our favorite places was El Pueblo, a group of bars and restaraunts catering to the college crowd. El Infinito parties till dawn with three rooms of reggae, rock, and latin music. The mixed clientele varies from drug dealers to business men and is a great place for almost anyone to have a good time. Coyote in the San Pedro district is another good spot for drinking and live music. There are also many other clubs in San Pedro. Don't miss the coastal nightlife! Montezuma, Tamarindo, Jaco, and Quepos and have rocking 'low budget- uncomercialized' nightlifes that you will never forget. Palm thatched huts fitted with enormous speakers and beer flowing like there's no tommorow. No need at all for a shirt or shoes! For a little more civilized and very romantic night, head to the Beach bar of the Best Western in Jaco the torches are lit as the sun sets on the...
In San Jose there are good basic party spots and good Salsa dance clubs. Try to meet some locals as the clubs there are very local and change frequently as to what is in style. Dress Latin! IE nice pants and shoes or you wont get in.... Dress Like you would for a nice club. No shorts or flip flops
If you want nightlife like Cancun or Hawaii; then Costa Rica is not the place for you. We were around the beach cities around the Nicoya peninsula, mostly people sit around and eat and drink at night, there are some places that try to be like discos playing loud music outside to attract visitors but they are pretty weak. If you are not exhausted at night from diving, hiking, kayaking, etc, then there is something wrong with your itinerary!
The Cocos Bar in Cahuita at the Caribean coast of Costa Rica.In the Cocos bar you can experience the typical rasta culture: music (sometimes a local band is playing live),people,backgammon,rhum.....Bob Marley, the king of reggae is still alive here !! There is no typical dress code

Its Raised above the busy street so you can catch a glimpse of the passing action. It plays the best music and has a mid size dance floor. has a pool table, but the best thing about this bar is the atmosphere. Its so chill, you can tell as soon as you walk up the stairs you're gonna have a good time. Casual

Q: Can anyone recommend something, moderately priced, w/ pool & a/c?

A: Banana Azul is wonderful. You should wait until September and October for the best weather there. Samasati is also very nice, a wellness center.
