2 Best Nightlife in Arenal, Monteverde, and the Northern Lowlands, Costa Rica

Kazan

Although La Fortuna is not known for its happening nightlife, this central bar is where locals and tourists alike gather to watch the game over a cold beer. They have two-for-one cocktails from 5 to 7, free Wi-Fi, and a kitchen serving late-night quick bites.

Lava Lounge

This La Fortuna hot spot has local and imported beers plus plenty of cocktails to get you in the mood for live music every Wednesday and Saturday from 7 to 10. An unorthodox happy hour is from 9 to 11 am, and you're likely to have desperate-looking dogs underfoot, telepathically begging you to take them home. Lava Lounge owner Scott Alan runs a dog rescue at this pooch-friendly establishment. Donations to the cause are always appreciated.
