Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a smallish meeting place/watering hole for Gringos in Sosua. Staff is friendly and serves up beverages to wet your whistle while chatting with new and old friends. There is life entertainment once in a while which draws a crowd. Great place to drop by, hang out and meet like minded people (expats).

A great little outside bar in Sosua. Friendly staff, especially Judy, and good drinks. Love their Ceaser’s with home made pickled beans. Great hamburgers. A nice place for a drink and friendly chat with staff or other patrons.

Location- Sosua -Just a small building, where there are eats and a bar. Main drag , about a 10 minute walk from Casa Marina Hotel. A nice stop while walking to or from the public beach. Owners originally from High River Alberta. Normally tuned into an Alberta Radio station on the internet, enjoy good conversation with the ( Tom & Angela) owners, and some of the regular patrons.. Enjoyed the stops there.

The Checkpoint Bar is a small outside oval bar nestled between other business on the way down to Playa Sosua. Each time we have been there we have meet some great people who often give us much information of the area. The staff are all great and pleasant to talk with. Returning again next year and most likely will meet some of the same interesting people!

While walking by many times we decided to stop for a quick drink one day. The establishment is very small snuggled in between buildings.
The staff/bartender was extremely friendly as was everyone else who was there. Although not somewhere I would hang out often it is a nice break from the norm.
