About this place APE Eclectic Social Bar

APE Eclectic Social Bar is a small cocktail and tapas bar on the second floor of the Pura Vida Supermarket building on Ruta 618 in Manuel Antonio, opposite Salsipuedes. It is a gay-friendly mixed bar rather than a gay bar, though it is popular with LGBTQ+ visitors and hosts parties during Manuel Antonio's Pride week in July. It serves signature cocktails and more than 30 beers, and runs themed and DJ nights. It holds a 4.6 Google rating from about 270 reviews. People tend to go before or after dinner on the hill road, and many then move on to Drunken Monkey in Quepos. Phone +506 2102 6400.

A lovely bar with a great atmosphere. It wasn't very busy, but that's not the bar's fault. The food was excellent. The cocktails were also very good.

Enrique, the Jennie and yoshua (at the bar) danced with me. The FRIES were beyond good, we spent half the night here. They’re good people. If you’re looking for pura vida here it is.

Pura Vida vibes galore in this place. It’s a party the moment you get to the top of the stairs. The drinks, the service, and the environment. The staff were so much fun and personable. We even helped name the bartender’s new kitten. Hi Sage! Oh and the Pizzas are a must. Highly recommend the Pina Jalapeño but add pepperoni 👍👍
