It is a bit hard to find the place as it is not on the main road. You can park on the street right outside of it. They have a DJ on weekends and it gets pretty crowded with good vibes around 11PM. The cocktails are great. They have plenty of options and they will make anything you ask them as long as they have the ingredients. I recommend the freckles cocktail which is like a mango martini. The bar tenders and waiters are super friendly and always ensuring you are having a good time. It is a great place to have a couple of drinks if you don't want to go clubbing

It is very close to central square and Parque de Bombas, which is hard to miss. Look for the large V on the door. We visited on a Wednesday night and sat at the bar. Unfortunately, no live music on Wednesdays. The bar and the restaurant were not busy. We just saw one other couple dining. Service at the bar was fine. Note that the menu provided at the bar has no prices but the prices are listed on the menu online. All the drinks were reasonably priced- we have just had bad experiences at other places that do not list prices. We both had the Democracia drink with rum and banana purée. It was very good and just the sweet drink we were expecting as we had already had dinner at another establishment. So this was like a dessert cocktail. They also have a helpful diagram of drinks by sweet/ dry at the back of the menu. I found the low backed seats at the bar to be rather uncomfortable but appreciated that they had hooks under the bar for bags. The bathroom was very nice and clean but they had an ambiguous sign that roughly translates as "do not throw paper in the toilet". I hope they mean paper towels and not actual tp.

We sat at the bar and asked for a menu and we were given a menu that had very nice cocktail pictures and descriptions but no prices.

We tried the Democracia cocktail which was fruity and sweet, a nice dessert cocktail after having dinner at Hacienda Muñoz.

Popped into this place to check out the music. The hotel staff recommended it. The ambience was…read morespot on there were two different rooms, actually three. Each of them have different music. 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.

A Hidden Gem in Puerto Rico…read more I am so shocked by how much I loved this speakeasy bar! Vegabundo Social truly exceeded my expectations. It wasn't a busy night when we went, but the vibe was still incredible--and a big part of that was thanks to the bartender, K. He's seriously amazing! Not only does he know how to make great drinks, but his personality and conversation skills really made the night. K even gave us an awesome tour of the entire bar, which has some of the coolest rooms I've seen, including a super private space with a pole in it. Let me just say, I so wish I had known about this beforehand because it would've been perfect for my husband's birthday. Next time, for sure! The fact that it's also a hostel blew my mind. They have shared rooms, a pool, and overall such a cool setup. It's way bigger than you'd think from the outside, especially considering it's tucked away off the highway. If you're visiting Puerto Rico, you HAVE to check this place out. Great service, amazing people, good drinks, and an unforgettable vibe. K is the real MVP, and we're already planning to return on our next trip! Highly recommend.
