Great place to go many nights of the week. Tuesday nights are great for some partying. Amazing bar where you meet people from all over the world (mostly backpackers) and have a chill good time. Thursdays are trivia night which is also a great event to enjoy company and the great staff. Cannot say enough about this place. It makes... More

Making the final rounds after a six week stay in the Puerto Viejo area (3 months in Costa Rica), I had to include Tasty Waves Taco Tuesday. Tasty Waves is on my list of top ten places to eat in PV...and probably #1 or #2 in terms of fun and friendliness. Bryton, the owner, is definitely "livin' the dream" here... More

cute little roadisde cantina complete with pool tables, good music and interesting company. The fish tacos were beyond tasty and washed down with an icy beer made my afternoon complete. Don't hesitate to stop, its well worth it and the prices as good too.

I went there for some Sunday Fun-day beers and ended up staying for much longer than I expected, and then went back again that night. Jackson was awesome; super friendly and helpful. Stuck around later at night to make sure my cab arrived to take me back to my hostel, recommended some hostels at my next destination. The burger was... More

Was a blast to have the pleasure of enjoying beers and tasty tuesday. The staff is insane at throwing a good time from fire throwers to bone fires and BBQs. The location is super close to the beach so after a catching some gnarly waves you can chill listening to some killer beats. And we can't forget trivia thursdays were... More
