Neon

Neon is an LGBT-friendly cocktail bar with plenty of outdoor seating. Their specialty is frozen cocktails, kind of like alcoholic slushies — perfect for hot days. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the music is somewhat retro with lots of power ballads and disco megahits. If you feel peckish, they've got excellent food, too.

From jazz cafes to dance clubs and beer pubs, San José offers visitors a diverse selection of nightlife entertainment. Experience the vibrant street life and an exciting music scene with events for every taste. Hangout with friends in the pub around the corner and head out to the hottest disco in town afterwards — you won't be disappointed with the Latin nightlife of San José.
