If you're in San Juan, don't miss Marilyn's Place--especially if Alex is bartending. His Piña Coladas are hands down the best I've ever had: perfectly smooth, flavorful, and unforgettable. On top of that, Alex's friendly, welcoming vibe makes the whole experience even better. A must-visit spot! read more

Service and checking in for refills was non existent.menu on Yelp is totally different. Basically tacos and nachos. We showed up at 1:15 and the first thing the server said was, "we will not have any food ready for 15-20 minutes." No welcome, could be considered to be rude, no care. Only seating is on sidewalk. Server disappears for 10 to 15 minutes. I would not come back if the food was free. Food is no better than Taco Bell. read more

Great rum punch! Fresh cut apple pieces and fresh passion fruit juice mix! Mojito is tasty too. Fun atmosphere.

Perfect stop for a drink while touring Old San Juan! My husband and I stopped in here while biking through Old San Juan. We were thirsty for any good drink, and the vibes seemed to be good at Marilyn's Place, so we decided to try it out. The bar is small, with just a few seats inside and a very cool atmosphere with Marilyn Monroe photos lining the walls and a tiny cave-like bathroom. The bartender was amazing - super quick and his drinks were delish. We ordered a special pina colada and a beer and we were sooo satisfied with both as we sipped them on the patio. Good times at Marilyn's! read more

Kind of cool spot. DON'T EAT THERE. The food is expensive and gross bar food. Literally tasted like dog food. My friend ordered a virgin pina colada and they charged us the alcohol price. Kind of slimy staff that will pull sneaky behavior on tourists. read more

Stumbled across this place during a cruise stop in San Juan. Was drawn by the very cool vibe. Had a refreshing and delicious strawberry daiquiri, made with fresh strawberries...and just the right amount of rum:). read more

If you are a Marylin Monroe fan this bar is the place for you. It is a small cute bar covered with all types of Marylin Monroe decor. This is a nice bar to stop at after a day of walking in Old San Juan, there were 2 bartenders serving the inside and outside. The drinks were normal nothing fancy, but overall it was a nice bar for a quick drink. read more

I don't have any complaints about Marilyn's Place except I wish there was a place like this in Atlanta. This is an adorable little restaurant with a great set up for outdoor seating, amazing drinks, and yummy food. Me and my girlfriends easily got a table outside a little before 8pm and stayed until 10 just enjoying the food, drinks, and atmosphere. I wanted to try the sangria and man was it sweet and delicious. Loved it. I would come just for that! Use three ladies ordered two orders of chicken tacos (so 4 tacos total), the guacamole, and the empanadas and alcapurrias sampler and it was more than enough food for us to all share. It's a great place for individuals, couples, or small groups of 3-6 people. I wouldn't suggest it for large groups simpler because seating is limited and you may not be able to easily seat your entire party. read more

Fun stop. give it a try. This is a drinks place. Nice stop from the hot sun and close to the water. enjoy

One of my favorite bars in Old San Juan. Tastefully decorated with Marilyn Monroe memorabilia. The owners are very nice they make amazing mojitos and other drinks. The mojitos are made with real fruit if there are too sweet for you you can ask no sugar. My favorite is the coconut mojito no sugar my husband's is the mango mojito. They also have a small food menu. They have out front garden sitting. it is a small place they will make drinks to go also you can get food to go. I love this place! read more

GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES You can find good snacks and frozen drinks at this small restaurant in Old San Juan. Named after the iconic 50's bombshell, this place is less than a block away from Catedral de San Juan Bautista (the 2nd oldest church in the Americas). Marilyn's has quite a lot of reviews for being a well-hidden dive bar, which surprised me. After desperately seeking a spot to eat lunch at on 1/1/19 (everywhere was closed on New Years' Day), we stumbled upon this hideaway. Nichole C was in the mood for fried food, so we put in an order for their "mix platter" ($16). It came with an assortment of 6 tasty mozzarella sticks, 4 mini cheese quesadillas, half a dozen chicken taquitos, and sour cream + marinara for dipping. Kinda expensive for what we got. We washed all that down with a couple piña coladas ($6) that totally hit the spot. They have lots of Marilyn Monroe posters and memorabilia around the bar area, plus a friendly resident kitty by the name of 'Toba'. * TL;DR * Just like our visit, this review is short 'n' sweet. Drinks are solid but the prices of food kinda caught us off guard. I'd recommend stopping in for a mojito or other adult beverage on your walk through scenic Old San Juan. read more

Cutest dive bar ever. I feel bad categorizing this spot as a dive bar but not sure how else to explain this one of a kind spot. All photos are about Marilyn Monroe. It's dark. The building is from the 1600s. The bathrooms give away that this building is a historical gem. Has air conditioning but sitting outside in the well gardened side walk seating is even more joyful. A neighborhood Old San Juan Bar - one of the finest. Also: I totally chipped one of my bottom tooth trying to crunch on the passion fruit seed. Don't do what I did. Lol. Just drink the damn drink. read more

Found this eclectic little place while looking for a quiet spot out of the sun. They ad a variety of mojitos to chose from and the two I had were excellent. I didn't try the food but if the drinks are any indication you should be fine stopping by. It's a little hidden, but in this busy area of the city that's a plus. read more

Marilyn's Place - Best Margaritas in PR - Bars Near Me - Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

Food was very bland and uninteresting. Burritos contained very little meat with no seasoning and nachos were lazily thrown together. They also have an obsession of putting lettuce even though there is no salad served. Can't say much on drinks since I stuck with water, but my dad claimed his margarita was poor. The food is clearly meant to sober people up after a heavy night of drinking. Service felt very lazy and had to literally ask for menus after 5 minutes waiting. read more

Mojitos?? Do your self a favor and come here. You won't regret it. Strong and it comes in a nice tall glass I guarantee you will loose count. They can add up because they are surely not the cheapest in town but I know they are the best. read more

We did not eat and the menu is more Mexican than Puerto Rican, but we loved the selection of mojitos, caipirinhas, and frozen drinks in tropical flavors made with fresh fruit (mango, passion fruit, pineapple, etc). The drinks are strong but not overwhelming. Nice atmosphere inside and outside with many photos of Marilyn Monroe above the bar. read more

Don't be mistaken, this is a dive bar. Not everyone will like it. It's off the beaten path in Old San Juan near La Fortaleza. The bar is an homage to Marilyn Monroe and there are several pictures of her spread across the inside. However, you won't want to hang out inside, you'll want to take advantage of their nice outdoor seating on this narrow street. Come for the Mojitos! If you come on the right day, you may be the only patrons at this very laid back establishment. read more

We were drawn to this place by the coolest live musicians jamming out front. That was a huge bonus!! Inside is an omage to Marilyn Monroe. Tasteful and sexy. Full bar and friendly people. There is a big flat screen tv. There is a shady spot to sit outside. It was a delightful reprieve from the heat to sit with an ice cold beer and enjoy awesome live music in the mid afternoon. read more

This place is a gem! Great place to duck in for shade and relax. The drinks were out of this world. Mango passionfruit frozen drink was 10/10. The menu seemed to be TexMex type food. We just ordered an app to have with drinks. Will definitely be back. And service was amazing. read more

I'd give this place 3.5 stars -- if Yelp ratings allowed. It's located right off Calle Cristo and it's close to shopping. It's not anything fancy, but it's got nice character. Each time I've visited this place I try to find a bistro table outside to enjoy a quick drink and quesadillas. This gives me the boost I need to keep going... :) read more
