A town here is the place an entry names in its own address tags. 559 of the 1,383 entries name one; the others are in the register and on the map, but in no town's count. Spellings that differ only by case or accents are counted together.

The first 60 of 1,383, by name

In order of name, as tagged. The order is the alphabet's and nothing else: it is not a ranking. Each entry links to its OpenStreetMap object and, where one is tagged, to the venue's own website.

Reading this page

OpenStreetMap keeps two tags apart, and so does this register. amenity=bar is a place that serves drinks, often late and often with music; amenity=pub is a public house, where one can usually sit and often eat. Which of the two a venue carries is its mapper's judgement. Where the map holds one venue twice, as a point and as a building outline with the same name, it is one entry here.

The figures for Costa Rica count what volunteers have mapped, not what exists. A venue may have closed since it was mapped; a new one may not be mapped yet. Hours are printed as tagged, in OpenStreetMap's own notation, and are not checked against the venue.

To correct an entry, follow its OpenStreetMap link and edit it there. The about page has the queries, the dates and the limits.
