It seems from the board that the bars mentioned are just to go in, grab a girl and leave. An hour or so later, you are on your own again. That leaves a whole lot of down time. What do you do the rest of the time? Hang out at a pub a talk to old gringos? I can do that in the States. lol. Where the cool non-pro Ticas hang out?
It depends on what time you want to meet them. The big question is do you speak Spanish. If you do then some of my favorite places were the Malls, San Pedro is the closest, Las Flores in Heredia, Tres Rios on the way to Cartago. I hate to say it but walmart in the produce section is good because you can ask the single ladies what is this Fruit or Vegetable, and then if they are smiling when talking to you, ask how do you prepare it or what does it taste like. Maybe even ask if they would show you how to make something with it. You just need to not be afraid to ask them and try and not hesitate just go for it, but make sure to scope out if they have a ring on, or are with a boyfriend or husband. Parque Diversiones is a good place also but that is a family place so you will need to be tactful and expect it to be a place to set up a date for later and I would not tell them you are staying in the gulch area. I used to get a room at the Shitty Royal Dutch casino as I was not a place normal mongers would go. To get a girl in you go up the stairs to the Disco so no one gives you any shit, then continue up to the elevator on the third floor so there are no hassles. Also the non working girls are not intimidated by having to give up their cedula to the front desk but you also do not have the security of knowing who they are either. You used to be able to get a room there for about 20.00 a night but not anymore it is over 50 and in my eyes not worth it.
Last but not least are the tico bars but you have to speak Spanish for those or you will not fit in, other than sitting at the bar and drinking. If you can dance Salsa, Merengue, Bachata or Cumbia you will be golden and after you dance with one lady, you will be fighting them off with a stick.

hahaha
I just mentioned various areas within a 2k colones ride from the gulch(with the exception to Escazu) that there are lots of people. Just kind of depends on your age or at least your mental age.
