1. Republik Lounge

Republik Lounge has been a staple in the Jaco nightlife scene for many years. The nightclub has built a reputation for having a great party vibe and open to all kinds of groups and people. From locals to tourists everyone is welcome. Republik Lounge’s mission is to bring an amazing entertainment venue to everyone who lives in or visits Jaco Beach with the area’s best DJ’s, Barstaff, drink prices and amazing vibe with the perfect mix of locals and tourists partying together and the most incredible vibe and variety of good looking people from Costa Rica and all over the world!

2. JACO BLU

Jaco Blu is a vibrant beach club bar and restaurant situated on the northern edge of Jaco. Known for its energetic Wednesday ladies’ nights, it draws a lively crowd of locals and visitors alike. As one of the rare venues directly on the beach, Jaco Blu stands out as a must – visit hotspot for those looking to experience Jaco’s nightlife at its best.

3. Orange Pub

If you want to be in a busy bar surrounded by 20-year-old locals, then Orange Pub is probably the place for you. Located on the main drag of Jaco Beach, Orange Pub is a popular weekend and late – night spot for Jaco locals. Don’t expect much though before 10 pm. This is one of the biggest bars in town; it has a fairly large dance area, the music is varied, they also have a very nice VIP area

4. Le Loft

Le Loft is a trendy bar and lounge located right in the center of Jaco.  Located in the tall red building on the second floor.  Full AC, great music and VIP service think South Beach in Jaco.  Party doesn’t really get started here until nearly midnight, so might want to start elsewhere and make your way here later in the night. It’s a medium-sized place, but with a very good atmosphere, it’s one of those places where you go to party hard

5. Green room

The Green Room is a popular bar and restaurant right in the center of town.  If you are looking for some live music then it is definitely your spot as they typically have live music every night. Located right next to Republik Lounge, this is a popular place to grab a bite to eat before heading out to party. Great open air vibe, with artisan food, mixology drinks, wide selection of craft beer (try the mango beer) and decent wine list.

6. COCAL HOTEL & CASINO

The most famous (or maybe notorious) nightlife in Costa Rica is at the Cocal Hotel and Casino which is on the beach, and smack in the center of Jaco. Aside from being a popular casino and hotel, the outdoor pool bar area (aka Frog’s Bar) is party central. On some nights there is a live Latin music duo. The party usually gets started pretty early, and is not for the faint at heart. So if you are at the Cocal after 6 pm, then it’s probably safe to say you aren’t on a family vacation. This central hotel is known for its large number of beautiful women every night but don’t worry, prostitution is legal in Costa Rica, and the girls don’t bite 😄. If that’s not your thing, just stay away from Cocal, if it is, be careful to not fall in love.
