I drove past the bar last night at 10:30 and it was closed. How can a bar be closed like that on a Sat night when there is no holiday involved? Are they having some bad times or was it just so slow they would rather be closed and let people guess their hours of operation?

Never see anyone in there anymore...

It had a small following as BigDogs, but that started to fizzel out as well. Bad location? Stupid name for a bar? Who knows for sure.

For some reason mother's day is a national holiday in Costa Rica. So we closed early.

We are doing well enough and are NOT fizzling out. In fact, Friday night we had a great group for the Denver 49ers game. I saw a lot of familiar faces. Welcome back guys and thank you.
In preparation for the NFL and college football season, we have been working on a few upgrades and changes, which will be complete in two weeks.

So we will be closed on Sundays until September and most other Costa Rican Holidays.

Well, it would help if that you had your hours of operation on your web site.

Stupid name for sure, I don't think I could patronize a place called 'GOOOOOOOOL'. Nothing drives me crazier than the stupid tico announcers yelling 'GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL', I definately wouldnt make that the THEME of my bar if I was trying to attract Americans (read: people who spend money).

well I disagree with that for several reasons

first of all, if the bar is going to have the 'American' look (disclaimer, never been to the bar) then we, Ticos, are going to go

second, regardless of location, potential customers will always be (for the most part) Ticos

third, why can't we name something Goool......which at least a Tico (like me , can pronunce) as opposed to some American name which noone but a few can pronunce

the most annoying thing for me is to show up at Taco Bell and say "Quiero 3 Border Steak Bowls......." and then the poor cashier girl gives me the "que???" look and then I have to resort to "combo 3 por favor"

I have no problem with Gooolllllllllllllll......if you see an American walk in the door hand him a flyer that explains the meaning of the name.....and offers some useful special and thats it

I think its a fine name, we are in Costa Rica and the name obviously was meant to attract locals as well and with the new stadium coming up next door it makes perfect sense. Im proud of where Im from, but you whiney as Gringos that hate everything you dont understand makes me want to shit in my hand and sling it at you.

I love the TOT, but anybody who has ever tried to get there in taxi without knowing the directions knows that a normal taxi doesnt know what the fuck or where the "Time out Tavern" is.

I guess we should change the name of Escazu and Santa Ana so the big spenders that live there will be able to pronounce it.
Maybe we could combine the towns and just call it Springfield so you guys will feeel better about where your money is going.

I got busted by my wife posting just one of the pictures from that thread on another forum, after seeing her reaction to that thread I can only imagine what she would do if she saw the "sister" thread. Since I like having my penis attached to my groin for now Im holding off.

Bringing in the Tico crowd is always smart for business. Example, Chi Chi's. I still think the name is horrible, and I never liked the place because it smelled like puke. But, I wish the guy best of luck. :103631605

There is a trick to it. You have to go to the picture, highlight the whole thing, sometimes it only works if there is a caption, so start by grabbing right after the caption then start drag your mouse up to highlight the whole picture. If there is no caption you have to start from under the "make a comment box"(once its posted you can delete the unecessary html) Right click and copy then paste into the reply box. Does not work with the quick reply box.
