Drinking & Entertainment
Nightlife in these parts generally involves a guided hike and nocturnal critters, but since
this misty green mountain draws artists and dreamers, there's a smattering of regular cul-
tural offerings. When there's anything going on you'll see it heavily advertised around
town with flyers.
Bar Amigos
BAR
With picture windows overlooking the mountainside, this Santa Elena mainstay evokes the
atmosphere of a ski lodge. But no, there are DJs, karaoke, billiards, and sports on the
screens. This is the one consistent place in the area to let loose, so there's usually a good
mix of Ticos and tourists. Also, the food is surprisingly good.
La Taberna
BAR
Known by many names in recent years, this drinking establishment will always be re-
membered as La Taberna. No matter what you call it, you'll find a friendly outdoor bar,
drink specials, pub fare and live music.
Common Cup
CAFE
A cute yet sophisticated coffee shop with its own roastery. The name belies the fact that
the gentleman barista crafts quite an uncommon cup of joe. The coffee beans are locally
grown, the brew is fabulous and the milky foam is a medium for art.
