Howler's Beach Lounge — Restaurant in Nosara

I just got back from Nosara. This place is real gem! I stumbled across it one evening walking around, had so much fun I came back two more times. Amy and Carlos are so nice. If you a looking for a fun place to hang out and meet other travelers, while enjoying great food, cocktails and local beer, then this is the place. Off the main street, but close to everything. Great place to go on your back from watching the sunset at the beach. Food is great! Had the fresh guac and chips, ceviche and tacos. Not all in one night. Carlos is just about the best cocktail mixologist I've ever seen! He really cares about what he makes for you. Reasonably priced, warm, friendly atmosphere. Fantastic place! Can't wait to visit again sometime down the road... Paul,...

After we had paid (only cash or venmo) another waiter came to make us repay....

It's not a cocktail bar... it's just a very small place that only serves beer and liqueur.

We were there yesterday, asked to get their Cocktail menu, and they told us "we don't have a cocktail menu, we only serve beer and liqueur".

Even if they indeed have "the largest alcohol selection in Nosara" as they replied to a friend who was with me yesterday, it doesn't help anyone if at the end of the day they don't offer cocktails and they tell their customers they only sell beer and liqueur.

If you indeed have a menu with cocktails on it, please go ahead and publish a photo of it. Otherwise, you should stop misleading other people by calling your place a...
