It's so vibey. There was this live singer playing a guitar completely killing it, crowd in the restaurant singing along. What a fun experience. We came in for the passion fruit crème brûlée and when I tell you it was probably one of the most amazing things I've ever had. Also the manager Isaac was very kind and attentive and made sure we were properly taken care of as it was a busy night. That's always a nice touch read more

The ambiance and environment here are great for a fun, higher-priced drink. Great environment for a martini or two

Antiguo 26 is the highest rated cocktail lounge in old town. We decided to give them a try based on the rating. A classic speakeasy vibe with a Puerto Rican style. Each cocktail handcrafted and made, especially for you. You could tell the bartenders took a lot of pride in their work. The food list is short and more of a tapas for something to enjoy while you're drinking... The "Masa" was unbelievable, we had ours with chicken and would pay for a plate to have an entrée. Although we're committed to trying different restaurants and bars, each of the nights were here I'm tempted to go back just to have this dish. Disclosure - remember you're on vacation and no one should be in a hurry and they're not. read more

This place was amazing had a great ambience, lighting, music, great drinks and good food. The service was exceptionally slow though. The waiters were sitting around chatting when we had asked them things or the check. That got frustrating but overall, still a positive experience read more

Loved this place. It is truly a hidden gem, but one you should look for. The drinks and mocktails are expertly made with an attention to detail. The bartenders are really great. Their menu although small, is really good. We really enjoyed the appetizers as we grabbed a few drinks. We had the Bacalaoitos and the crostini de longaniza. Both apps were absolutely delicious. We will definitely go back. read more

This bar has the best drinks in all old san juan. The bartender juan was amazing at recommending us drinks and making them for us. He also gave us recommendations on places to go. The ingredients were fresh and high quality and you could taste it with every sip. They had live music up until 11:30 or so from a local guitar player. I loved this place and Juan made the experience 100 times better for us. My husband and I will definitely be back. read more

Amazing experience at Antiguo 26. What appeared like a really cool historic building from the outside, was all that and more on the inside ! The spot was warm, rustic, with an amazing cocktail menu. We had a chat with the super knowledgeable bartenders and selected two amazing cocktails. These were no ordinary cocktails. They were both well thought out and required complex processes to reach the level of flavor and balance found in both. Overall a wonderful experience, creative amazing drinks, great service, and a beautiful location that doesn't get the hype it deserves ! Can't wait to go back ! read more

The drinks were phenomenal. The food was on point. I loved the tuna and my mom loved the churassco and mofongo. It was Tapas style but for me it was definitely filling. I love the music. Old school Salsa before it was modernized. I will never hesitate to come here again. I know they are known for their drinks but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. Yes it is expensive but you get what you pay for and I have traveled many places and this is surprisingly good! The picture of the wall with my mom shows some old school grinders. Also, they have Victrola music player on display with the big horn. Very cool to find this place. I would definitely bring a significant other who likes the upbeat "salsa" atmosphere. Service was good. read more

If you are searching for a place with top drinks! The service is amazing expect higher prices but it is worth it on every penny.

We were spending the night in old San Juan and looking for a yummy place to eat and found this place with great reviews on yelp. We walked over and the place was very nice, with live music playing, and some people at the bar, but nobody at any of the seating tables, and a second room in the back with a very large table perfect for our party of nine. The server came quickly and the drinks were amazing, but Very pricey, especially the food. It turns out they only had appetizers to eat, and of the six or seven options they were out of the majority of them, when we asked for just the fries from the sliders appetizer since they were out of sliders, they refused. When the first appetizer came out, which was a sliver of sausage on top of a tiny Crostini with a splash of mustard, we realized we were better off making these ourselves for $30 each. We tried to cancel the other appetizers, but the server refused to let us. They came out and were equally bad. The chicken skewers tasted like they came out of a microwave and were slathered in barbecue sauce. The server never came back to ask us if we even liked the food and we're not very accommodating at all even after we showed disappointment in everything. Would not go back unless maybe just for drinks read more

Delicious drinks and best only Mexican ceviche we found. The local artsy, PR hipster vibe was fun. The bar tender was great and the cook was amazing. We were visiting from LA, Cali. Chicanos craving Mexican ceviche and the cook shared his love for Mexico and shared his inspiration to make Mexican food with a PR twist. Great fusion, not everyone can do it. My cousin loves cigars and he enjoyed one there. read more

Thank you Yelp! We saw the reviews and said ok, this is where we are going! Watching drinks being made was very entertaining. The drinks we tried were strong and tasted smooth. These guys have truly mastered their art! The food was very good. Dinners are more like large apps, just for info. We tried the chicken skewers, steak, and sliders. We weren't hungry when we left! Service was amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Friendly bartenders and interesting drinks. Went during the day so a little quiet but would go back at night for a more lively scene

Service. Ambiance. Quality. I'm generally just a beer/wine person, but got a ridiculously delicious recommendation (from Brandon) to try the Monchito 2020 and could not have been happier. Good lord, the taste. AND his service was impeccable, personable and SO authentic. Visit. VISIT. V I S I T ! ! ! read more

My girlfriend and I were looking for a good spot for our last night in San Juan and i'm so thankful we stumbled upon Antiguo 26! Our waitress was phenomenal, I wish I got her name. We had some questions about the cocktails and she answered them and then some. Easily one of my favorite cocktails i've ever had!! The bartenders are also so talented, I recommend sitting at the bar and watching them work! We ordered the chicken skewers and mofongo with skirt steak. Quite literally all I can say is YUM. it was such a nice night they had the doors open and it was so romantic and cute. Highly recommend! read more

Beautiful building! I loved the marble flooring. The bar stools in the back weren't the comfiest but they made do. My mojito, not pictured, was refreshing but it had a little too much mint. It looked pretty however not what I'm used to. Our server was great and checked up on us often to refill our water. Lovely place, would love to try the food next time. read more

The food was full of flavor. The service was very good. I asked the bartender for a local beer he would recommend and the one was light and good. I would definitely go again if I am in the area again read more

On the expensive side ($17 cocktails) but excellent execution of drinks. The quality of the bartending here rivals every elite bar in OSJ. Seats about 40 but could probably accommodate about 100. read more

Tapas, crafty cocktails, speakeasy-ish ambiance, and great service -- A win is a win! A local bartender pointed us to Antiguo 26 and I'm so glad he did. The sliders and fries were tasty, and any drink they make is fire. The bartenders are true mixologists (especially Jesus). Love this spot and truly enjoyed the visit! read more

Jose was amazing! After a warm greeting he immediately explained the history of the building and gave me his full attention when I was ready to order my cocktail. He even stepped out of his comfort zone and made me a variation of a signature cocktail I serve at my bar in NC. 10/10 recommend this quaint little bar in old town San Juan! read more

Had fabulous tapas. Sliders, etc. all tasty, carefully prepared and staff was very welcoming!

I had one drink. It was great. I would have loved to have ordered more drinks and some food. I sat at the bar by myself for over an hour. I tried to get the attention of the bartenders (Jose and I forget the other's name) multiple times in multiple ways. I said "Pardon me" with my hand up. I said, "excuse me". I said, "permiso". I slid my finished drink to the edge of the bar to symbolize that I was finished. I made eye contact multiple times. I watched 'not Jose' do about 7 loads of dishes. I was checked on once by another staff member who was not a main bartender. Overall, I felt like I was a nuisance to the staff. Like I was taking up valuable space. I was ignored. I could've easily left without paying. I had to alert them that I wanted to close out. As a bartender myself, I know how a patron should be treated. I know how to multitask. I know how to check in with my people to make sure they have everything they need. In my bright yellow dress and bright red lipstick, sitting smack dab in the middle of the bar, I was hard to miss. Ignoring me was intentional. I don't know if it was because I was a woman dining alone or because I was the only Black person at the bar but I was clearly unwelcome. I can't help but try and rationalize the reason I was treated so poorly. Maybe they are afraid of influencer culture and I was there with a camera. Maybe they thought I would make them too popular and it would negatively impact their business in the future. I'm probably reaching. Their rating is deserved but maybe they are not an inclusive establishment. I want to also note that the couples on either side of me whom I could have reached out and touched, both received multiple platters and drinks and were checked in on regularly so it wasn't because they were too busy or short staffed. Again, as a bartender myself, I know that when things pick up you become more vigilant. I was really looking forward to making this place a regular spot, especially since it's near where I work. Obviously I'm not looking forward to returning. read more

I was really impressed with the quality of these craft drinks! Each one had a unique flavor that was fresh, balanced, and not overly sweet. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating them. They're perfect for sipping on their own or pairing with food. Definitely some of the best craft drinks I've tried, I'll be coming back for more! read more

Last stop for the night. Here around 9pm for a night cap on a Sunday. Music was cool, vibes were there. Our bartender took his time with our drinks and I'm not mad at it since he spent time to make the drinks taste good. One suggestion is making the drink in front of us instead of with another group. Took away from the experience. Also, felt like the crème brûlée we ordered was very mid. The sugar coating imo needed to be lighter with less sugar. And I'm used to cold crème brûlées, this guava one felt warm and liquidy instead of cold and creamy. (Maybe it didn't set yet) read more

The crafted cocktails were exceptional, and the flavorful, tender pinchos de pollo were divine!

This place is amazing!!! Nice vibes and excellent service! The cocktails are very good! The bartenders(Juancito, Frankie and Brandon) take pride at their craftsmanship! Pinchos and sliders are excellent! Saturdays are music night (sax player) and it sets the tone and creates a nice atmosphere. read more
