What are Sodas in Costa Rica?
Have you been doing some reading up on Costa Rica and heard a lot about sodas? Not sure what they are? I assure you that Costa Ricans don’t have some obsession with syrupy, caffeinated drinks. Quite the opposite in fact. Sodas are simply small restaurants that have limited menu options and have affordable prices.

@ E’s Restaurant
@ E’s Restaurant - Inside of Rocking J’s
Over the years Rocking J’s has doubled in size and added a load of new stuff to the hostels grounds. One such addition is the bar/restaurant, @ E’s (Pronounced, At E’s). This restaurant is quite a win for the weary traveler. Suffering from a late night out by the camp fire and don’t want to stumble into town for breakfast? No worries, make your way to @ E’s for some five star dining on a two star budget.

Drinking Age in Costa Rica
The official drinking age in Costa Rica is 18. That said, you’ll be hard pressed to find a bartender who isn’t willing to serve you. Inside San Jose you may find a disco or two that cards at the door. Or you are one those people who looks ten years younger than they really are, you may get carded as well.
Outside of the capital just about anyone can get a drink anywhere. From restaurants to beachside bars, everyone is happy to serve.
It is a good idea …

There’s not a night that goes by that there aren’t tables full of people at Hot Rocks. Even if the clubs are going strong, there are still tables full here. Why? The only honest answer is the movies. Hot Rocks plays four movies every night, starting at 6pm. The movies are played with a digital projector on a large outdoor screen.
