Beach House
Beach House 'Eat, Drink and Go Surfing.' So implores Rennie Leone, owner of this expat hangout. By day, the place rents surfboards; by night, it serves sandwiches, quesadillas and cold beers at the cozy bar or on the breezy terrace. Live calypso music plays Thursday through Saturday.

Café Hot Rocks
In a big red tent in the center of town, this place shows fine flicks for free most evenings and also hosts live (and often new) calypso, reggae and rock bands. Recommended for fun, not for food.

Ricky's Bar
Opposite Coco's, Ricky's has a jungle vibe, outdoor seating and a nice dance floor. This place really gets hopping on Wednesday and Saturday nights, when live bands sometimes take the stage.

Maritza's Bar
This non-fancy local spot has regular live bands and DJs that play reggae, rock and salsa, and all the funky beats in between. If you’re lucky, you might just hear a reggae version of the Cuban classic Guantanamera.

Cine Playa Cocles
At Cabinas El Tesoro, this popular big screen shows a cool selection of camp, cult and classic movies plus plenty of Hollywood blockbusters. Weekend showings are specially for kids.

Johnny's Place
This is a Puerto Viejo institution, where DJs spin reggaetón, hip hop and salsa to a mix of locals and travelers who take up the dance floor and surround the late-night beach bonfires outside.

Coco Cielo
Restaurant by day/beach bar by night - this slick new addition is the hippest place in town for margaritas and mojitos.

La Taberna
Adjacent to Tropical Lodge, overlooking the canal, this popular tavern is mellow in the afternoons, but draws the party people after dark, with cold beer and blaring reggaetón. The highlight, however, is the decor: namely, a life-sized statue of Jar Jar Binks.

Tex-Mex
This rowdy open-air bar on the main drag has live music, pool tables and movies on big screens playing most nights. Minty mojitos and Bloody Marys made with fresh tomato juice make this a popular place.

This pleasant outdoor lounge features jamming weekend bands that play reggae and calypso classics – among many other things.

Casa Blanca
A dark, smoky and air-conditioned dive that is packed from about 5pm onward with a mainly male clientele sipping drinks and watching grainy porn on the telly. It’s easy to find: follow the ear-splitting Latin music emanating from the jukebox.

Aquarius
Inside Hotel Acon, this long-running disco spins salsa, reggaetón and pop on different nights.

La Culebra
The town’s only nightclub is a barren concrete space where thumping music makes for a good dance floor, or hang out at the waterside bar area for beer and bocas. This place rocks during turtle season. It’s next to the public boat dock in the center of town.
