Puerto Limón
You can't miss this bar, with its big yellow tsunami sign and Hokusai's Great Wave painted on the side of the building. Probably the hippest spot in town, it gets busy on Saturday night, when reggae artists and DJs take the stage. Patrons down sushi rolls (US$2 to US$13) and cocktails (from US$4) or manguaro shots (sugar-cane-liquor guaro with mango).
Look out for two-for-one sushi deals during low season.
