There are Night Clubs in San José like the Atlantis Night Club. You might want to stop by at the ICT (Instituto Costarricense de Turismo) building in La Uruca and ask for leaflets on Nightclubs and Live Concerts. You will find very good local musicians in different locations, that will make you dance.

Some of these groups have been together for many years and are very popular in the Costa Rica Dance Scene. If you want to learn some of these dances, check out some of these dance schools. Mariachis walk in and out of bars playing for a tip. There are literally dozens of places jammed together at The Pueblo, which is a sort of entertainment Mini-Town with Discos, Restaurants, Bars and Live Music.

Warning about Hookers and Prostitution!

In Costa Rica Prostitution is tolerated. To promote it is illegal. The actual Costa Rican Government makes big efforts to crack down on paedophiles. It doesn't support Sex Tourism to Costa Rica and we don't support it either.

The singles bars and most Night Clubs mentioned here tolerate questionable girls for various activities on their premises but remember: It is illegal to get involved with girls (and boys) under 18 in Costa Rica. Our opinion is that There are many other ways to meet a nice girl than in one of these establishments. Read a text of the Lonely Planet Book on different Bar pages.

If you want to party on the beach there are not too many places with the necessary infrasturucture. Active places on the beach with Restaurants, Bars, Discos and Casinos are Tamarindo, Jacó and Quepos near Manuel Antonio.
