Nightlife

As a popular surfer destination, Tamarindo has a sometimes raging nightlife. The most happening bars in town are Babylon and Mambo. Other popular spots that go off throughout the week include the Monkey Bar at the Best Western Vista Villas, and the bar at the Hotel Pasatiempo. Both of these places have televisions for sporting events and sometimes feature live music.

For those looking for some gaming, there are two casinos in town: the Jazz Casino, across from the El Diriá hotel, and the casino at the Barceló Playa Langosta resort.
