Description: The Point...A different kind of Sports Bar.Sure we have sports on all (7) of our T.V's all the time...and sure we have hot wings and (U.S.D.A. beef) burgers...and sure we have ice cold beer and micro brew on tap, but did you know that we have local Caribbean cuisine made by the best chef south of Nicaragua?  Check out our open air restaurant/bar located on Black Beach, steps to the Caribbean Sea. A local hangout where tourists and locals come together to have a good ol' time.  So on your next visit to Puerto Viejo, top on by and say hi ya'll (before Paradise, we lived in New Orleans).  We will keep a seat warm, a cold beer, your favorite game on, and a fun time waiting for you!

“Organic eats, friendly ex-pats with tats”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2013

Dropped in for a late lunch walking back to Banana Azul from town along Playa Negra. We sat outside and had the famous guac and homemade plaintain chips, the Caribbean cobb salad which was huge and filled with the freshest organic ingredients, and smoking hot buffalo wings. Everything was delicious, portions were huge, and prices were cheap. Vibe was very... More

“Nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2013

I felt like I was in San Diego at a busy bar yet we were the only people there...the service was slow and people not friendly. The drinks were pricey compared to every other place...the burger was good. Overall I wouldn't go back with all the other places we had to choose from.

“Great place, shame about the owner”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 6, 2013

I'm genuinely conflicted about this place. The beers are great (Costa Rican microbrews!), the food was very tasty and the bartender was a really friendly American guy (Shawn?). My friends and I were having a good evening, playing some pool, and were the last people in the place on a Saturday night. Then the owner turned up, totally wasted after... More

“THE Place for Burgers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

We went to The Point a couple of times during our stay in Puerto Viejo, initially because it was near our hotel but then because we just enjoyed ourselves there. It's right on the beach, is totally casual, and the people who work there are uniformly friendly. But the big draw for us is that they have the best hamburgers... More

“Incredible beach front organic restaurant”

Staying just outside of town at Mother Dear, we ate and drank at The Point multiple times during our 12 day stay. My favorites were the guacamole served with plantain chips and the cerviche. I even asked for the recipes and one of the owners sat down at our table and gave me all their secrets. My husband said the... More

“Seriously, Microbrews & USDA Organic Hamburgers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

The owners need to be commended at The Point. Sporting 3 Costa Rican Craft Beers on Tap and USDA Certified Organic Hamburgers. Right on the beach, just outside of town. We arrived on a slow night to what looks like a fun place when the sporting events begin. Great staff and nice owners. We were greeted by a delightful Swiss... More
