One room, the main area had salsa, dancing, and music and eventually at 9:30 PM a live salsa band came on. That was a whole lot of fun however it was very crowded. The second room had a nice house music going on. There was a bar and a DJ and it was not as busy as the main area was. And the third room was the bar that leads to the outside called La Cubanita, which was playing mellow lounge music with a tropical beat. The food at La Factoria was definitely overrated and just OK. I did not think it was worth the price and I probably would not eat there again. None of us really liked what we ordered, but we ate it because well... We were hungry. They do offer a wide range of beverages from your standard beer, wine, and top shelf brands, however, they are known for their own concoctions. All of the drinks we ordered were delicious. Overall, we had fun, and it was not too pricey for the beverages. I don't think that I would ever go again, especially not later in the week as it is so busy, and we went on a Monday and we were dancing cheek to cheek!!! Enjoy!

I first discovered La Grieta approximately two years ago during a brief stop in Old San Juan. The…read moreatmosphere and warmth of our initial experience was so great that I made it a deliberate mission to find it again when visiting recently. We were thrilled when we finally walked through the door again after wracking our brains to remember our favorite spot in Old Town. Upon entering, we were greeted by a young woman who, mentioned it was her very first day as an assistant to the bartender. Despite being brand new, she was warm, engaged, and genuinely welcoming, excited for us that we had made it back after several years, and impressed with our efforts. Shortly thereafter the bartender on duty approached us mid-conversation, visibly irritated. When I mentioned that we hadn't yet decided on drinks but were being well taken care of in the meantime, she interrupted sharply to bark at us that she was the bartender and the ONLY one who could help us. The tone was unwelcoming enough that after a moment, my companion and I determined that we would prefer to move on and left without ordering. The atmosphere is truly special, and it deserves to be matched by the experience guests receive at the bar. Our experience was simply not the vibe that night, and I truly was disappointed FOR the new hire who was doing what she should in engaging us until we could be served. I sincerely hope to return on a future visit to San Juan and to rediscover the experience that first brought me back to La Grieta.

Antiguo 26 is the highest rated cocktail lounge in old town. We decided to give them a try based on…read morethe 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.

This establishment has multiple floors and is a little bit deceiving from the outside. While you can hang out in the bar on the first floor and have a great time playing one of the provided games, you can also head up to the second or third floors for varying scenery. On the second floor it's a very lounge vibe with some great cushion to seating and eclectic art. On the third floor is picnic style tables on the rooftop, and limited view. Our bartender was excellent, and you'll need to go back downstairs if you're not on the first floor, to order more drinks. It's a drinks only spot so come thirsty!

The menu changes constantly and isn't written down, so I can't remember exactly what I had, but everything was absolutely delicious. The first course, which included a mini lobster roll and a tart, was my favorite. My friend loved the second course, a crudo, and said it was the best. Every dish was unique, creative, and full of flavor. We left completely stuffed. One thing to note: the cocktails are all premixed, so they can't adjust the sweetness or other preferences, which was a slight downside. Still, the overall experience was great--and the chef/owner was incredibly kind and personable!

I came here to celebrate my birthday and unfortunately, they fell short in every possible category. The layout is a major issue. We paid the $10 per person fee for the piano room, only to be squeezed in elbow-to-elbow with strangers. The tables are so tiny I literally had to eat out of my lap to avoid spilling food on my clothes. Even the basic facilities were a struggle; the women's bathroom was so cramped and unaccommodating that I could barely even sit down. When we asked to move to a more comfortable space, the hostess and waitress refused, citing nearby reservations. The kitchen and service were equally disappointing. After waiting over an hour for our entrees, the food arrived mediocre and tasteless. The steak had zero seasoning, and the mashed potatoes were dry and flavorless--essentially just a boiled potato thrown on a plate. The service was the final straw. When I tried to flag down a server to send the potatoes back, he told me he would "get her." When our waitress finally arrived, I explained the issue and she simply replied, "I know." No apology, no offer to bring something else, and no effort to make it right. To be met with that level of rudeness on my birthday was shocking. This was a complete waste of time and money--I won't be returning.
