Anybody Pay $4 for a Beach Bar Painkiller Recently?
See: http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/tr ... lands.html
According to the New York Times the Beach Bar charges $4 for a Painkiller.
We paid $8 in June, which I think is pricey. A friend who was a newbie to STJ was mistaken by a bartender and paid the local price which was $6 I think.
I can't remember what we've paid in years past, but I was surprised to be charged $8.
This was at night, so maybe they charge less around lunch time?

Well that explains it. We’re usually still at the beach during happy hour. I just don’t see the sense in leaving the beach to save a couple bucks on drinks when we’ve spent thousands of dollars on plane tickets, villa and car rentals to get to said beach.
The article should have mentioned that it was happy hour pricing since it said that Aqua Bistro’s prices were decent at lunch time. I wonder how many people will show up at the Beach Bar during non-happy hour asking for $4 Painkillers?
