Blue Marlin Bar- This bar is located inside the Hotel Del Rey in the heart of San Jose and is famous for its lovely women bartenders and friendly locals. It is actually made up of three bars (Monkey Bar, Little Marlin, Key Largo Bar) joined together. It’s strictly an adults-only bar so make sure you’re old and ready enough for all the action happening here. But be warned, Blue Marlin Bar is a tad bit over-priced.

It’s quite a big place considering it’s two stories high. You get to play Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, 21, tute, black jack and all the other popular casino games you can think of. So if you’re ready for a chance to win money before you go clubbing in Costa Rica, drop by The Horseshoe and try your luck.

Raices Reggae Bar- If you want to listen to the good vibrations of reggae music the entire night, head over to Raices located in downtown San Jose. It’s a casual bar which doesn’t demand any posh dress code and the drinks and food are cheap if not fairly-priced.

Most of the clubs and bars here are opened until 3AM but some let everyone finish off their drinks and leave until they shut down so you have a lot of choices you can get into. Even better, the capital city of San Jose is home to a lot of the most famous hot spots where you can bar-hop.

So if you’re planning on throwing a bachelor’s party for your mate or you’re single and ready to hit the clubs and meet the crowds, then clubbing in Costa Rica should be part of your to-do list!
