Rafa's Bar

Local place with great drinks and good prices. The food smells really good, but I haven't tried it yet. The music is old school, which is both funny and relaxing.

Had 1/2 hour to kill since Atlantic train station ticket window open at 3pm. Got a tall beer and the pollo en salsa plate. Delicious, place is pretty packed with locals and tourist, good vibe overall. Prices are really cheap too. $6 for everything with a tip. La Pura Vida!

Solid dive bar with cheap prices and good atmosphere. Great place to soak up a bit of local flavor.

Nice bar. Nice outdoor seating area and exposed brick walls. cheap prices

All time favorite passing by bar, I can't even recall for how long I have been visiting this place. Great for a couple of beers with your friends!

After structural changes, this place has become one of the most popular in San José.

Great place to share with friends. Cold beers and the least expensive prices in town.

Been a customer for bout 7 years and the place just got remodeled recently, nothing like before, same bartenders plus a couple more, I ACTUALLY ordered FOOD and if anyone's has ever been here before knows that you never order food here lol! Ate a burger and was dope, nice nice.

Listened to other reviews on here so I gave it a shot. Accurate. Drinks are inexpensive and the place was quiet and comfortable - at least when I visited. Not super nice but that's not a problem.

Rafa's is a great place to stop to enjoy a few whiskey drinks! Good music, cozy atmosphere, a bit noisy and a good place to tie one on or enjoy a few cold ones. Definitely worth a stop!

This is hands down the least expensive place for drinks in the city. It's on the rustic side (which adds to its charm). And the food is a bargain as well. I'm a frequent customer and highly recommend it.

If you are in SJ, want to hang out with friends, good music, this is a great bar to go to, also there are more places around this bar, try the chillieafas

Rafa's is the best local bar in downtown SJ. Tons of character, great service :)

The best prices on Birras in Chepe!!! Would recommend always, and a locals favorite. Great Ambient.

Local dive bar. Cheap beer. Cool people. All what I expect from a good dive bar. And they even serve food.
