    El Tap is a charming spot in San Juan. I was really impressed with the decor and comfort of the space. Additionally, the amount of beers they had to offer was great. My friend and I sat at the bar and ordered flights. I was most satisfied by the sangria and ended up ordering a glass of that after I finished my flight. The food was limited but I went with the beef sliders and fries. The food came out and it was well presented, but pretty bland. I am not a shy eater and usually clean my plate. I only ate 2 of 3 sliders and maybe half the fries, and that was because I was hungry, otherwise I would have had less. The beer was decent but the food was just meh, and the check was kinda high.

    They have an awesome selection of local craft beers from all over Puerto Rico. Very nice ambience. Our beertender was super nice & informative. I could've stayed there the whole day trying all of the different beers on tap. We'll definitely come back here next time we're in town.

    If you are a beer lover, you WILL definitely enjoy the different kinds of beer selections, with more than 20 beers from which to choose. I have a hard time deciding. So, this is the #1 best beer I've had in Puerto Rico. The prices are reasonable and affordable. Their service and vibes are really great and easily accessible.

    Lots of beers on tap. The workers help with any questions and are very knowledgeable about each beers. The atmosphere of the place is a modern like brewery.

    I was a little apprehensive to try a "tap" bar in San Juan just because I have been so spoiled in New York and Brooklyn and there are a plethora of locations that are amazing there for on tap craft beers. However I was so happy to have visited El Tap! From the clean and modern decor to the prompt and friendly service this is definitely a place to enjoy some local and imported beer as well as great food. I had the truffle fries and pork tacos. Both were delicious and great portions. I love to see the modern establishments in San Juan but it was also authentic to the city and fit right in. Thank you for giving me a little bit of home in your city!

    Came here last week with a few coworkers and this is a great new addition to the area! El Tap has a HUGE beer selection, it's got the most compared to any other place I've been to while traveling throughout Puerto Rico for work. For beer lovers, this is the place for you! Not only is the beer selection huge, there's also wine and sangria for those that don't beer. Also, the food here is so delicious & perfect for sharing! I highly recommend everything I've tried here - Thick Cut Bacon (chimichurri sauce on bacon? genius!), Crab Bites, Chicharron de Pulpo (this was very good with sweet potato fries), Ceviche, Spicy Chicken Pinchos, El Lomo and the Fried Yuquitas. Let's just say I was beyond stuffed but I couldn't stop eating and continued to order the yuca fries. My only wish is I had enough stomach space for dessert but I guess that will have to wait until next time lol. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are a good size! The service was excellent, the waiters were very attentive and friendly. The timeliness of the food was on point. I'm really feeling the ambiance - chill vibes, clean space. It's the ideal spot to grab dinner, drink and relax. You can take beer and wines to go as well :) I can't wait to come back!

    Very impressive beer selection

    FOOD ORGASM WITH THAT OCTOPUS DISH!! OMG it was so good! It is grilled to perfection with small ?fries or potatoes and a unique sauce. I live in NY, so I am used to great food and this right there was downright amazing. I can't comment on the beer selection (not a beer aficionado), as I came here specifically for the octopus dish after seeing a picture on Yelp! lol Such a foodie. Service was great-- welcoming and prompt. Reasonably priced menu and nice decor.

    Spicy chicken pinchos. Delicious!

    Awesome vibe, cool as ice service, and great food n drinks! What's not to love? They asked me my taste preferences and selected a flight of local brews for me which were absolutely heavenly. My favorite was the Fok oatmeal stout. Then came the spicy chicken pinchos. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I've never had a batter that light on anything really, now that I come to think of it. So light and crispy! The sauce was so spicy it made me cry in a good way. I gobbled them down, told myself I wasn't allowed to get 3 more orders and have a chicken party, and got out of there before I ordered everything off the menu! The food was spectacular, the service superb, and the bathrooms were clean. Job well done, El Tap! See ya next time! Bonus: bilingual English/Spanish staff!

    Very great service!!! There are 46 different beers to choose from, the first 18 options are all local beers and the service was just seriously so good. Our server helped us talk through the beers, helped us pronounce the beers in Spanish (lol) pretty close to the beach which is where we came from. Recommend !

    Okay well they are literally out of 90% of their taps as they are focused for a huge local event tomorrow. Couple of local San Juan Cerveza Artesanal options. Decent menu selection. Cute hot date spot if you like craft beer. Clean, fresh and polished. Off Calle Loiza which is up and coming. Try the Leatherback "Farmhouse Ale" it's a St Thomas Ginger Bomb Beer. Refreshing and tasty if you like ginger. Enjoy that date night and get you some fresh craft

    One of a kind bar on Loiza. Great beers. Great vibe. Great staff. But the projector tv takes away from it all.

    Great selection of beer in a good looking space but sadly the bartender was so arrogant and rude that the experience was ruined, shame.

Loved watching everyone no matter how old get into the groove. - El Final: red room with DJ booth for more dancing fun - El Desvío: Super small 10-seat candlelit area slightly hidden - La Cubanita: where we parked ourselves to chill Lowlights: - Weekend nights gets very crowded with a line out front in the heart of the nightlife area in old town.

I never had a bad drink here out of the two nights and many drinks had. The layout is amazing with multiple rooms, bars, and DJs. Anything from techno, pop mixes, to latin. Yes i did salsa with the love of my life. No that has no influence on my review haha. Definitely recommend for a night out!! During the weekday we didn't have a line but it was still full inside. On a Friday we had a short line at 10:30 and it was packed.

    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.
