Run by brothers Khalil and Abasi and their friend Rocky, Puerto Viejo's most dependable spot for live music draws big crowds, plays reggae, and serves two-for-one cocktails (4pm to 7pm); sometimes there's even a 'crappy hour' (10pm to midnight). Try Jamakin' Me Crzy, a potent mix of vanilla vodka, orange liquor, mango and coconut cream.
Look for the Stanford's sign on the beach (the former business in this locale).
