Father Rooster Bar & Grill

Península de Nicoya


This colorful gastropub by the sea serves up tasty sandwiches and US pub fare, as well as top-notch (though expensive) cocktails. Try the Tica Linda, a wicked mix of Cacique, juice and grenadine. You can't beat the location, whether you sit at a table on the shaded terrace or in a hammock under the palms. ¡Pura vida!
