    La Taberna Lupulo in San Sebastian Street is the perfect spot for Pitorro shots. They have coco, piña, passion fruit, mango and tamarindo. 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!

    Decent prices and great service. The crunchwrap is THE item. Don't skip it, The shishito peppers were delicious. Local beer was alright haha.

    We stumbled upon this bar/restaurant while exploring Old San Juan, and I'm glad we did! The burger and fries were an awesome lunch choice, and the price was reasonable. The service was also exceptional.

    We had an amazing lunch here. All four loved our food. Great beer list and creative beer cocktails. Good music. Very friendly and helpful staff. All around 100 vibes. We had falafel sliders (pictured), big burger, fish tacos, greek salad. And you must get their special hoppie sauce.

    Draft list!

    We stopped here in our way through Old San Juan. The open air seating was inviting and cheery. They had very interesting craft cocktails on the menu that I wish I had tried... next time! Super friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious. You can tell the ingredients were fresh. The salsa and flavor of the chicken in the Crunchwrap... The margaritas were exactly what we needed; refreshing!

    Absolutely love this place. Perfect brewery and very creative atmosphere. The brew is delicious. We each had a couple of rounds. It was relaxing and comfortable. The prices are fair I will check this place out again. Restrooms are clean. Plus service was friendly and consistent.

    La Patria Colada.

    We came by here for a drink before dinner. It's a local, dive bar with a large selection of beer on tap. There's plenty of local options to choose from where you can get a flight to try multiple. I ordered the La Patria Colada ($9.99) and got the Queso Frito ($7.99) to snack on. Their take on the pina colada was delicious --creamy, yet refreshing. We also really loved the queso frito, which are little fried cubes of cheese paired with guava sauce. It's my first time having this dish and it's such a great combo!

    I had a great experience here. The staff was super nice. I asked for two rum cocktails of their choice and both times the cocktails were fire. Usually I don't expect much from bar food, but all the food was great. Queso Frito was my favorite. My spouse got fried chicken sandwich and it was great. They also had homemade fries which were also great. For non-alcoholic drinks, my spouse got a lemonade and it was also yummy.

    Wanted to find some good craft beers for hophead DH and this place didn't disappoint. With over 30 different beers on tap along with various options for beer cocktails ... there's something for everyone. Super friendly and helpful bartenders with a nice atmosphere to just sit at the bar ... what could be better!

    Great spot! A great selection of craft beers! Friendly staff! Definitely a place for beer. Lots of bar seating and some tables.. just a good spot to try some local beers!

    Sick little spot in Viejo San Juan! When we went, we ordered different beer flights because they had a plethora of choices for different kinds of beers to choose from. I didn't end up getting a flight (I got the Patria Light, which was pretty good for me as a person who doesn't drink beer like that) but my friend, a true beer connoisseur, indulged in a flight and was able to try different beers. Overall, cool spot to get your beer fix in and try the many different kinds they have to offer. They also sell food here (just bar food, nothing crazy) if you need to snack on something as you sip away! Tip--Bathrooms are in the back outside as single stalls

    Great variety of beer on tap

    We came here for lunch as a group of 4. We started with the Alcapurrias. It was good, but nothing…read morespecial to me. Then we had the goat fricase, cod and pork chops. The goat fricase's sauce was amazing. It was full of flavor and eating it with the rice and beans was a joy. The cod was perfectly cooked and was delicious. Then my favorite was the pork chops. They pre-cut it for us since we were eating family style. The skin was so crispy and the pork was so flavorful, I smiled the entire time I ate it. Service was very good.

It's very romantic,…read moreit's got a live band, and the music is loud enough to listen and enjoy, but soft enough to have conversation. The food was a joy from start to finish. I started with a drink that resembles an espresso martini, but very inspired by the locality. We shared cassava baskets filled with ropa vieja and some local cheese. This was incredible but I did find the cassava shell tough to chew. My main dish was the catch of the day, which was snapper (absolutely delightful!) the snapper was served with a dollop of mashed potatoes and tostines! Everything here was incredible though I did find two of the tostones tough to chew. Dessert was bread pudding using Mallorca bread with coconut and guava alongside a scoop of ice cream. This was a bit of a let down, but still wonderful. Service could be better? We did feel like everything took a long time due to the waiters absence. Otherwise, this place was great! Do come!

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!

Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.
