One of Guanacaste’s first craft breweries, offering an eclectic courtyard of outdoor seating surrounded by a wood-fired pizza oven, other food truck options and a stage. Our favorite is the buffalo chicken sandwich from Gracia's stand.

Beachfront Food
Tropical beachfront bar and restaurant with great food and cocktails. Lola’s is named after their massive pet pig named Lolita, who occasionally will make her way into the ocean for a swim on extra hot days. Playa Avellana is also known for some surfing so it is easy to rent a surfboard out here before or after a meal. Lola’s does get busy, so if you are wanting a table with the closest view of the ocean make sure to reserve a table on their website.
