Sir, i'm not looking for a gay bar. if you are trying to be funny then its not. i thought everyone on this are mature and helpful.

Could it be he was motivated by your original question? Think about about it this way - it was as if you had asked, "Hi, could you list some good places I can find unicorns?"

Maybe if you provided some context or additional detail, people would be more helpful.

Consider:

• First of all, San Jose isnt exactly renowned for having good clubs.
• Second, since you didn't provide any details we can only guess you meant regular clubs, not strip clubs or places where only pros hang out (e.g. Hotel Del Rey or Key Largo).
• Thirdly, what kind of atmosphere are you comfortable with? Loud? Lounge? And music... Rock? Reggae? Hip-hop? EDM? Latin (salsa/reggaeton/cumbia/bachata/merengue/latin swing)? Chill? Disco (gasp!)?
• Fourth and most importantly... do you speak Spanish? Can you dance (and I don't mean like a spastic robot with incipient Parkinson's)?
• Fifth - what part of the San Jose Metro area? It's not like San Jose is so small you can throw a baseball from one end of town to the other.

P.S. Try Vertigos, Castros, the 8vo Lounge, Urbano, Santos Gastrobar, Hoxton's Pub, Rapsodia (oops, sorry... just closed), Luxe (oops, also closed), one of the bars on Calle de la Amargura. Or even El Pueblo if you're brave.

How's your Spanish?
How long are you in town?
Where are you staying?

I hope that you're not another optimistic gringo thinking you can charm the underwear off the Ticas because you're American. Trust me, nobody will be impressed. Just like the US, you gotta put in the work, not gonna happen in 4-5 days that you are in San Jose, especially if staying at a monger hotel.

Helpful? Mature? Bwaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaa!

Probably not a good plan. But not knowing your age, level of Spanish, it is hard to speculate on potential for your plan. Most likely you are much safer and better off picking up chicas in the traditional way, and there is a lot of information on this board about all of that.

The local ticos might not take it kindly that some gringo is going into their play area and try to take out one of their own. Your best bet might be to find yourself a local and have them take you to a few places first before you go out on your own.
