Pantera Rosa is a large strip club located near the intersection of Calle 9 and Avenida 14. From the intersection walk south, taking the left fork at the gas station. Walk to the left around the corner and you'll be right in front of it. The Google Map coordinates are 9.92704,-84.075076. This is also around the corner from La Mansion. I paid a visit two Saturdays ago at 9:40pm, but they were closed. A nearby sign said they were open Mon-Fri 10pm-5am. I assumed they would be open later, but I didn't hang around to wait. I visited Arcadas instead.

I returned at 11:30pm and paid 6k colones for two drink tickets to get in. The club is very large with a long stage complete with a trap door in the floor that dancers can enter and exit from. There were at least 50 men scattered throughout the club, but probably less than 15 women working. Of the women there, I didn't find any that were better than average looking, and this was on a Saturday night. Maybe the true talent had the night off to party.

Of the strip clubs I visited, Pantera Rosa was the most expensive with the worst selection. I might revisit in the future on a weeknight, but my current rating is a thumbs down.

Chica drinks are typically $12-15 at places like Nicole Josephines and Le Grillon. Can't remember what Pantera Rosa cost. These places have on-site rooms if you want more.

The Pink Panther is probably the very first place I would hit after landing in San Jose. I was there a year and a half ago and had no safety issues and a very good time I might add. I went solo.
