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.

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!

This is a beautiful rooftop bar with both an indoor and outdoor area. Unfortunately, it was…read moreinsanely too hot to go outside and relax by the pool in the early afternoon hours. However, it was nice that the indoor area was well attended and served beautiful drinks to enjoy. All in all, I wish that there was some sort of covering outside so that you could enjoy the view and the lagoon while sipping on a drink. But perhaps that's inevitable given the glaring sun. All in all, beautiful hotel and decor. I'd definitely be back.

We were a party of 7 adults who wanted to enjoy the sunset, some food, and drinks, celebrating a birthday. Making a reservation was easy as was dropping off at valet. The rooftop now has an actual roof, which took away a lot of the open sky, but it is still open enough to see it without being affected by rain. Service was fantastic, as were drinks. On this trip, the appetizers were great and the main entrees were okay. From what I heard, the entire concept will be changing after they shut down in mid-November and re-open in December. I look forward to returning in 2026.

I enjoyed a glass of their Chateau de la Pierre Gamay and mi amor opted for their Santurce Prison IPA. We both enjoyed our drinks and the wine was a pretty generous pour. We scored a nice two top overlooking the cathedral, right next to the railing. Service started out great but then disappeared when it was time to check out and pay, so we had to ask another server take our payment. Not a huge deal for us as we were not in a rush to leave, but maybe be mindful of this if you have another commitment after dining here. This bar is accessed via the Decanter hotel entrance. Definitely would return here. When we first arrived the atmosphere was a little suboptimal due to a large group of about 8, but once that group left, it quieted down and was mostly couples of all ages and small groups of 3-4.

From the moment we stepped inside the staff was welcoming and friendly. The girl that was taking care of us, very knowledgeable, asked us our predilection on hard liquor so she could suggest different cocktails. She nail it! I had the 'Walk in the Woods' which is their version of an Old-fashion, amazing! My friends had 'De La Tierra' with mezcal and Rose and Peper with vodka/gin. They loved them. All cocktails had A+ on presentation as well. Besides the amazing cocktails they also have a small sharing-style food menu. We ordered several things like the steak, chorizo turnovers, ceviche with malanga chips, octopus salad and beef carpaccio all of them delicious. This bar for sure will remain permanent on my list of favorite bars in Puerto Rico!

The name is a play on the…read moreSpanish word for "barber," and the place is designed in such a way you feel like you're drinking in a working barbershop. There are even fun barber-related knick knacks hiding in plain sight, such as shaving brushes hanging from a chandelier. Keep an eye out and see what you spot. It's all dimly lit and much more romantic than it sounds. This would be a great date spot. They serve high-end cocktails, but great food, too. We enjoyed the fish tacos quite a bit. The drinks are the star, though, and their list is huge. The menu has two sections, one for classics (think, moscrow mules, mint juleps, old fashioned, aviations, corpse revivers, etc.) and one for house creations. The selection is impressive, but it's the quality that earns them five stars. Everything we tried was expertly mixed, but the consensus fave was the barbero viejo, an old fashioned variation with mole, maple syrup, and a flamed orange peel. It was delicious, very subtle with the sweetness, and potent, too. Highly recommended. Pro-tip: they keep the door locked at all times, even when they're open. If you see people inside, just wait patiently. They check vaccine status and mask status and require you to wash your hands with sanitizer before entering. It's first come first served seating, so we like to show up right when they open, which is supposed to be 7:00 pm. They aren't exactly punctual, though, so don't be surprised if they stay locked up until 7:15-7:30. Extra bonus points for the many drawings and photos of prodigiously mustachioed men throughout the space. My faves: Dali, or Mario/Luigi.
