Señor Frog's
Bar and restaurant part of an international chain is the place to be and be seen for locals on a saturday night, and draws a huge tourist crowd as well.
Just like the restaurants, there are plenty of bars to choose from, depending upon taste, budget and comfort. Tourists occupy the seafront bars whereas locals head inland where the atmosphere can be excellent.
You must try PacÃfico, a beautiful locally brewed beer. Sold everywhere for 15 to 20 pesos about $1.50 or £0.75. 10 pesos for a can if you buy it at a deposito.
Gus Y Gus Restaurant Bar and Grill
Gus Y Gus pronounced Goose-E-Goose is a great little restaurant/bar in the Golden Zone. It is located across the street from the Hotel Costa De Oro. The food is very reasonably priced. It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the evening, the house band "Chameleon" plays classic rock and roll music. When it is busy, people will get up and dance. It has both open air and air-conditioned sections. Normally, the open air sections are where people sit. Gus Y Gus is the place to go to have a good evening out: dinner and dancing.
