Puerto Viejo has something going on almost every night. On Monday's there's a ladies night at Mango, on Tuesday the main party is at Tasty Waves, Wednesday is open mic night at Hot Rock's, Friday and Saturday are evenings where everyone prefers something else but most people end up going to Lazy Mon and Sunday is usually the day for reggae night at Salsa Brava. Every week something else is going on so it is recommended to ask the staff at the hotel where to go that evening. Check out this page for an overview of the best bars in town.
