Most that…read moreadvertise themselves as beer gardens (or biergartens) are indoors, thus disqualifying them from being beer gardens. La Esquinita is all outdoors. It is located in Downtown Bayamón. Plenty of street parking available. They don't brew their own beer but they have a variety of excellent beer on tap and in bottles/cans. They have a bit of everything, mostly craft beers (local and imported). Although, they do have a few commercial beers for those weirdos. I am not sure if they make their own food or if they pair with guest businesses... or both. All I can say is from my experience when I went, they had food from Smoke 'Em All BBQ Team. I'd have to return to confirm. And return, I will. This place is the best. I had this place bookmarked for quite a while. I'm glad I chose Saturday to finally make it out. They were having an Oktoberfest celebration with live music from a band called Beans Polka. Not sure of they regularly have live music, it the band was awesome. A good mix of rock with Bavarian style music. Lots of fun. It was a packed house. There was a long line to order food and drinks, but it moved smoothly. The staff was working hard and were awesome. The food was very good. I really liked the Butifarra Sausage with bacon Kimchi, as well as the garlic parmesan fries. What makes this place rock, though, is the vibe (as well as the excellent beer). Great atmposphe. Family friendly so bring the kids. They will have fun. There is a projector that screens live sports. I am definitely returning. Only bummer is that they don't open on Sunday, so Saturday is the only day I can make it out since I work during the week.

The coco pitorro was so smooth you can't taste the rum but will feel it later. Pitorro is Puerto Rican moonshine infused with fruits to mellow the flavors. Really strong alcohol if you get the right kind. Bartenders let you try it. They bring you all the bottles. Nice bar to enjoy drinks and chat with the locals in a more relaxed atmosphere away from the more vibrant high energy of the neighboring bars playing reggaton. We were glad to stumbled upon this bar. They also have a food menu but we mainly ordered appetizers chicken wings and fried cheese. Great spot and awesome staff!

They have street parking nearby and even have another side entrance where they have a free private parking lot with an attendant. Don't expect anything fancy, this is a humble place that has ample outdoor terrace where you can go play dominoes or hangout with your crew. Inside, there are seating options at and around the bar area, two TVs for watching sports, but only one pool table. What i most love about this place is what the theme song from Cheers says "sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name...and are always glad you came". After having moved to Tampa Bay this is what i most missed but when i came back months later, they had noticed my 6 months absence and it was like i never left and i felt at home.

I saw a post from them on Instagram and immediately reached out to see if they could provide a tour for us. They happily obliged and were really excited to host our group of 4. We were warmly greeted, received a welcome beer, and was taken to where the beer is brewed. We got a really good history of the brewery, the team, and what the brand represented, and we were able to taste a sample of the beer right from the room-so cool. They had a good selection of mixed drinks, tapas, and the beer was very light and refreshing. Thanks for an awesome time and awesome experience.

Let's get into the location because you have views of the whole port! The restaurant is completely outdoors with flowers hanging from the ceiling, nicely decorated benches, and the table I was sitting at was carved from some giant piece of tree trunk.

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!

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.
