Amazing. One of the best craft beer selections of any bar in San Juan, plus good music, good atmosphere, plenty of seats, and even above average food. Fries, queso frito, sliders, fish tacos, all hit. Don't miss this place! read more

One of the best bars in Old San Juan, maybe the best. They have a nice selection of beers on draft and also in cans and bottles. They even have a couple non-alcoholic craft beers. The food is also very good, especially the tripleta sliders and the fries. read more

La Taberna Lúpulo - Delicious shot and beer deal! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Best cuban sandwich ever. Pernip was seasoned perfectly and the homemade mustard with rum was incredible.

We were hot, tired and hungry and the yelp reviews brought us to this refreshing spot in Viejo San Juan. First, I loved the music. Ordered the Falafel which was very yummy. And we don't drink liquor but the lime juice was exquisite. Sat there for a very long time enjoying the music, the cool breeze and people watching. The wait staff was attentive and gave us a lot of ice. Love Love Love this place read more

What at first seems like a run of the mill bar actually had one of the best Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. Not to mention their fantastic Beermosa. Also, it's just a great vibe that complements its surroundings in Old San Juan. read more

The Crunchwrap with pork was fantastic. Chips and salsa was great as well. The Crunchwrap is pretty big and honestly could be split with someone else. The staff was super friendly and it was a great spot. 5/5 recommend going here for lunch. read more

A beer lover's paradise in San Juan. If you really appreciate nice beers, then this place should be on your list . . . unless the line for entry is super long. Fortunately for us, we visited on an easy, breezy Monday and waited for about 10 minutes. While I enjoyed my experience at La Taberna, I have to say that the female bouncer needed to take a chill pill. Before entering the bar, she randomly started screaming at us - NO RUM; NO HEINEKEN; NO COCKTAILS. UM. . .thanks, lady. Here's the funny thing. Upon entering La Taberna, I saw a bar full of various liquors. Also, the menu has various regular and beer-based cocktails. I'm not sure what the bouncer was talking about unless she did not want non-Puerto Ricans to hang out at La Taberna. Intense bouncer lady aside, we had a nice experience trying out a few drafts. Boy does La Taberna has a HUGE selection of beers, so there's a little bit of something for everyone. Unlike many other places in the area, the service was pretty on point, and we were not left waiting for an extended period of time for refills. read more

We stopped here for lunch and enjoyed the shade, vibe, food, beer, quick service and good company! It's a cool little spot with lots of local beers, which one of the guys there helped us pick out what we'd like best. I really loved the BOB by Ocean Lab Brewing and we got a fried chicken sandwich and crunch wrap. Both were really good and filling. We chatted with Matt the head Intoxicator for a good bit and learned more about the building and area. We'll be back for sure and would recommend to anyone for a casual lunch & beer! read more

Wow! This place is great. My only complaint would be they need ac, but nowhere in PR do they have that. So we brought a family of 7. The 12 year old got bbq wings...delicious! Someone also ordered the buffalo wings and also delicious, but what took the cake for wings was the SPICY GUAVA WINGS! They were amazing!!! Best wing flavor I have tasted! I got the Crunchwrap (chicken) it was huge and delicious! We also got the chips and salsa and it was great! A little spicy but I love that! Last, we got the fried cheese! The server said it was a very Puerto Rican thing to get. So we did and they were amazing! The beers were great and they will let you taste them to see what you want. I went with the BOB, orange flavored. Not for everyone and I usually don't like beer with a fruit taste, but I loved it. My dad got the 873 ipa. It was amazing. So in the whole, the food and beer was amazing and the service was top notch and fast!!! I would go here many times if I was here longer! read more

Super cute bar...that 90s look and amazing service by both the bar tenders. We fell in love with the cool vibe and fun crowd. We ordered some beer and appetizers and just blended with the groove of the place. Queso fritos were soft and well made. Felafel sliders made for the perfect bar food. This is the kind of amazing bar snacks that should be available in most bars in New York too. Highly recommend this place for a casual stroll in on a warm afternoon for some chilled beer and amazing apps. read more

Didn't end up eating, waiting 15 minutes before we were even seated, once seated, no one came to take our order so we bounced.

Went here as a part of a Historic Tour of Old San Juan. It was one of 5 places we stopped. They gave us a small Cuban sandwich as a part of our visit. It could be the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had. read more

Ambiance was nice. Open concept dive bar on a corner with all the doors and windows open. We hopped in for a seat at the bar. The beer was yummy. They had all varieties. The rum old fashion was the best I've had. The food was good too. read more

Staff was amazing, starting with the 2 bartenders, and the bartender. Omg food was amazing! The choripan was so good, kitchen and chefs did great job. Only negative was the security person, the attitude that he have with the customers it shows he did not want it to be there at all. The rest was amazing thank you for make our last night at San Juan great. read more

We had lunch in the interior patio to be as COVID-friendly as possible. There are tons of beer options, and our server brought us some samples based on what we said we liked. I got a Saison from a brewery in Carolina, PR - yum! For food, they have great takes on bar/fast food classics like a Crunchwrap Burrito, fish tacos (which were spicier than expected), tripleta sliders (on a sweet Hawaiian roll mmm), and the queso frito with DELISH guava IPA sauce. The food was better than expected and paired really nicely with our drinks. Overall a great place to rest and recharge while walking around VSJ! read more

We came for a late night dinner and drinks. This is a fun bar in a lively street in northern OSJ that is populated with other bars. There is plenty of seeing at the bar and at individual tables. They have a wide variety of beers, including local beers. We got a flight of beer and some food. The fish tacos (set of 2) were made of a substantial amount of fish, and they did not skimp on the toppings (shredded cabbage, not a slaw). The spicy Mayo on top was the best part of it. We also got the tripleta sliders- not the most unique dish but definitely still delicious. Overall, for bar food, it was pretty good! All good came out hot and freshly made. read more

Truest gem in Puerto Rico. That is a microbrewery that can cook. This is non touristy, and a great place for a brew. Now the food is just simple and excellent. It's also plated like a million bucks. read more

La Taberna Lúpulo was a happy place for my boyfriend and I when we were visiting Old San Juan. Our first visit was on a Spoon Food Tour. We learned about the history of the bar and tried some of their delicious beers and the cuban sandwich. Once the tour was finished, we immediately went back to La Taberna Lúpulo for another Cuban and some more beer! The service at the bar was not as outwardly friendly as we had experienced elsewhere in Old San Juan, but it wasn't unkind either. We really enjoyed the small beer garden area in the back, and the big open windows around the main bar. If you're in the area, La Taberna Lúpulo is a must! read more

Go here for the drinks and atmosphere. Food was average but chill staff and cool area in old San Juan.

We waited for almost an hour and never got served. We were confused as to if we got served or had to go to the bar. We went to the bar and expressed the wait and bartender seemed upset. She didn't serve us after we expressed our wait, which seemed to upset her for some reason. Drink was good but don't recommend eating or drinking there read more

Amazing snacks and bar food - great service and great local beer !! Super fun beer innovative cocktails and honestly best salsa I have had in awhile....fun in the sun spot with casual bar tavern brewery vibes :) def want to go back for the fried cheese and fish tacos read more

We came upon this tavern while waiting for our table to be ready at another restaurant in Old San Juan. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby but we chose this one because of the music, open-air seating, and large drink selection. The place was busy but not packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, including the staff. It's a fun party vibe and I would definitely come back next time we're in OSJ! read more

Great food although limited menu. You have to try the Cuban sandwich; awesome beer selection. They'll let you try a little taste before committing to a larger serving. Also, they have samplers of 4-5 small glasses so that you can try it out. Young female bartender, pretty rude, but the others were more accommodating and explained that if you sit at the tables, you basically have to go up to the bar to get service. Music selection was pretty good too. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place, especially if you're a tourist. We seemed unwanted from the second we walked in. Nobody told us where to sit so we eventually just picked a table. Waited a while for a server. We ordered an appetizer which arrived quickly, and then never had a server come back to our table again. We sat there for a good half hour waiting to order our meals and nobody came. They walked past us multiple times, making eye contact, and never said a word. We eventually had to approach one of the servers ourselves to ask for the check and left after just an appetizer. Really bad customer service. It wasn't all that busy either. read more

This place has a bunch of different fun, beers on tap, but also make some really good cocktails. They made us their version of piña colada's and they were absolutely delicious. We happened upon this place by accident, but really liked it. Ricky, the bartender, took very good care of us. read more
