Love-Love-Love this place!…read more I was geeked to go here because for one I was on vacation on a beautiful island with my beautiful woman and two they were right down the street from where we were staying. Upon entering you are welcomed by a set of stairs that lead you to an open floor plan that is decorated simple yet somewhat of a beach theme. There wasn't any employees anywhere to be seen except the patrons enjoying themselves so we were somewhat confused on what to do so we walked over to the register and were greeted by a gentleman from the back. He said we could sit anywhere we'd like and he'd come and explain how things work. He explained to us that they use a wristband and the taps have a sensor and we scan our wristband and it measures how much we get each time and we are billed by the ounces we pour; what a great concept. We enjoyed many of their beers, each one just as great as the last. My personal favorite was the peanut butter porter, delish! The ordering for the food is by QR code which I hate, but it is what it is. I feel like if you're paying for food and giving a tip you should at least bare minimum have someone taking your order and tending to your needs. We ordered: Fish tacos 5/5 Croquettes 5/5 The one employee who was working was kind and courteous and great, so we left him a nice tip on our beer and food, which were separate bills. We will see you again the next time we are on the island. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks again :)

The decorum is welcoming and a variety of seating. Yanilka provided great customer service from the moment we walked in. She explained how the bracelet we would receive after giving identification would give us glasses of beer. We could taste an ounce or a gallon, but you would pay by the ounce upon closing out your bill. I tried a lot of the beers. The one that stood out was the stout with coconut. It was memorable and delicious. They had two other pours, the sangria with ginger and turmeric, was also delicious. I had the bean salad with pita chips. I enjoyed the seasoning on the beans. I also had the chicken alcapurria, it was good. The dressing served with it made it even better. Great service! They need to add a happy hour menu or some daily specials to get more patrons.

The beer my husband enjoyed but again the hamburger and chicken sandwich were wonderful!! Went in one day just for 2 chicken sandwiches that were so crispy and a great sauce on them.

Jungle Bird was set in a darker but comfy vibe. Shutting out the clash of a zillion genres playing simultaneously. Seating us in a low volume but vibey couch corner. We ordered 3 alcohol drinks and 1 mocktail for my teen daughter. We ordered mini alcappurias, tuna tartar, Mac with spicy chicken and eventually kukaraage fried chicken. The drinks were so good we ordered doubles. The food was so good it started as 2 to taste and rolled into 4 as well. The ambiance was dark and moody but also comfy. The waitress was really sweet as well. Drinks and apps were absolutely phenomenal. I will definitely be back next trip!

It honestly was the best FOOD, DRINK, and VIEW of our whole trip! We heard about the bar because we are Bar Rescue fans and now we will always make sure to make a stop whenever we visit Puerto Rico. Jennifer Garcia was our server and she was excellent. Very knowledgeable and food came quick. For food I ordered the ceviche and it was delicious, fiance got the ribs also delicious. For drinks we drank the blue "wave", green "krajo", and a classic pina colada. They tasted amazing and the pricing is reasonable. The view is beautiful you are literally on the beach. Can eat inside or sit out back on their beach patio, watch the waves come in, just a beautiful view. Next time I would like to set more time aside to sit there all day and just eat and drink enjoy the view versus running around old san juan. Its worth it! Last but not least, I recognized the owner from the show and she was SO NICE! Very friendly and welcoming, took a photo together. Thank you we'll be back!! -Tanya & Steve

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 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.
