Can anyone tell me if there is a way to see what liquors are available at the duty free shop? Looking for Canadian Club and Crown Royal. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Duty free at SJO can be hit or miss for liquor. Sometimes they have your brand, sometimes they don't. Last time I went there, they were out of Jim Beam though they usually have it. If you want something specific, I would advise purchasing it at your connecting / departing airport. Prices will be similar to what you will find at SJO.

Not the airport, but lots of options on UberEats, one example below

(Mini Zeus Supermercado)
Crown Royal Black, 1000ml - c29,900 ($55.37)
Jack Daniels No7, 1000ml - c22,100 ($40.92)
Jim Beam, 1000ml - c13,000 ($24.07)
Havana Club Ron 7yr Añejo, 1000ml - c14,950 ($27.68)
Vodka Absolut Peach, 1000ml - c14,300 ($26.48) [Sunday Bellinis by the Pool]
Beefeater Strawberry Pink Gin, 1000ml - c18,200 ($33.70) [Netgems' favorite]

You can get sodas, mixers, snacks at the same time.
Coca Cola Reg or Zero, 2500ml - c1855 to c2470 ($3.43 to $4.57)
Canada Dry Club Soda, 2000ml - c2080 ($3.85)
Del Valle Jugo de Naranja (Orange Juice), 2500ml - c1430 ($2.64)
Pringles, Large Can, Regular,Cheese,SourCream&Onion,Pizza - c2700 ($5.00)

These prices include all taxes and delivery charge should be under c2000. Delivery in 10 to 20 minutes, you can track it on the app. English interface, no need to know Spanish. They also charge your through your CC, Debit, Paypal (however you set up your UberEats account). Carry less cash, get bank exchange rate.

How do you get English on Uber App? I usually have to use my tablet and phone at the same time to get a translation.

It uses the language settings on your phone.

For some stores, you will also have to implement CornerShop. You don't have to install it separately, UberEats uses different 'Partners' to deliver in different countries.

You can also get deliveries through DiDiFood, Rappi, and PedidosYa. Living here, I subscribe to Uber Pass for discounts on rides, restaurants, and groceries. You can even get pharmacy deliveries from Fischel, La Bomba and FarmaValue. Lube, condoms, dildos and vibrators from SexxToys. Electronics from Office Depot, Universal and Radio Shack.

Any idea for android. I checked on cornershop and it's not available for amdroid. I don't know why Uber does not have it built in automatic since they are in so many countires.

The link above contains instructions for android.
Uber partners with Cornershop in CR. In other countries the have other partners. What happens is that when you use UberEats to order from a store that uses Cornershop, the UberEats app will walk you through setting up Cornershop access.

I think all these "Duty Free" joints are a HUGE ripoff. Never found anything in these stores that I couldn't find elsewhere cheaper. Just another marketing mindf*ck..."Duty Free". Baloney.

In many cases they are more. Zero bargains.
