    Monkey Bar

    In Tamarindo, all you really have to do is follow the scene wherever it happens to be on that night. On weekends especially, cruising the main drag has the festive feel of a mini Mardi Gras or spring break. But, for a start, the Monkey Bar inside the Tamarindo Vista Villas is usually a good bet, and it has a ladies' night on Fridays.

    Lizard Lounge

    The Lizard Lounge attracts a livelier crowd of dancers. It's a nice place to start out the evening with a game of pool, a cocktail and a boca (the Costa Rican equivalent of tapas) on the streetside terrace.

    Boogie till the break of dawn at Discoteca CocoMar on the beach, which is the biggest (and sweatiest) dance-fest around.

    Mandarina

    For the best (nonalcoholic) smoothies, juices and iced coffee, you can’t beat Mandarina, with two locations in town – the larger and better one is at Plaza Esmeralda near the entrance to town.
