I could not recommend this bar more. Javier is an absolute sweetheart and a great bartender. It is now our go to bar in San Juan.

6 hours before we fly home, we decided to stop for drinks--Javier made our last night memorable! The drinks were amazing, the music was perfect, and the energy he brought to the lounge made the whole night so fun. One of the best experiences we've had in PR. 5 stars easy! read more

I came to Puerto Rico on a short weekend trip to visit an old friend and we happened to pass by this bar and eatery. It wasn't very lively during the day but the staff was inviting and allowed us to relax out of the sun with some refreshing drinks and snacks. Good music was being played, so I aim to make another visit here in the evening to see it at its peak. read more

We first visited Oasis a number of times iduring a couple of visits to Puerto Rico and we enjoyed it a lot. We were excited to know that it was still operating during our last visit to the island last week. Unfortunately, the place was not nearly what it was years ago. First, the staff does not offer the right information. We called to see if they had a happy hour that day and the employee who answered the phone indicated they had one that night starting at 6:00 pm, when we arrived shortly after 6:00 the bartender said they did not have any happy hour that day. The place is extremely dark and after 8;00 the music is so annoyingly loud that hurts the ears. Also, the bathroom is in very bad shape. It is so sad that they allowed it to rundown so badly. read more

Had such an amazing time and LOVED our bartender Javier who took such great care of us!

Javier is the cutest sweetest sexiest bartender everrr!!! Great customer service drinks are amazing !!! And when i asked for specific songs he was very attentive ! read more

Great drinks and the food was ridiculously fantastic. PR has flavors in their food I've never tasted before.

Shout out to Rodney the Bartender! He was nothing short of amazing!! We stumbled on to the business because we heard the great music and found ourselves surrounded by great energy. What an amazing few nights (yes we went back). No food ordered, just drinks and laughs. read more

The bar seems okay but the tapas guy gave our food to someone else and then took it off their table and tried to give it to us after I went back looking for our food? ew? The I wanted my money back and he started to eat the tacos himself Gross Had to ask for my tip back as well as the money back If you don't care about the job... don't do it read more

I love Oasis! Great nachos in the afternoon, gays in the evening and drinks all day long! Everyone is so nice, the bar snacks are shockingly delicious. Close to the beach. Go-go boys on some nights. Here's a photo of the nachos! They taste better than they look in this photo read more

Oasis Bar Tapas & Lounge - The NACHOS!!! So good. - Gay Bars Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

I read a ton of reviews on this place before going and thought it would be fun to go. It was the middle of the day, only a few people were inside but it was pretty empty. It was completely dark in there with strobe lights, music was so loud, I couldn't hear anything let alone my own thoughts lol. Bathroom was very dirty. We grabbed 2 drinks and sat outside because being inside was WAYYY too loud. I couldn't even finish my drink because it was so bad. Maybe we just didn't go at the right time.... read more

service was trash. the bald man was as so rude, treated us as if we were an inconvenience for being there. the food was cold he just wanted to hangout with his friends at the bar. zero stars DO NOT RECOMMEND NEVER AGAIN read more

I'm so glad this bar is open during COVID. The bar tender welcomed me right away. I told him I wanted something sweet and he made me this delicious drink. I asked what he called it and he said it's his secret. The atmosphere for a Monday was expected. Not too many people but those of us that were here enjoyed ourselves. Inside is kinda small but I'll call it cozy. There's an outdoor section before you walk up that was nice and quaint. For my last day here this was the blessing I was looking for. I will definitely be back and hopefully when its with a full house. read more

Oasis Bar Tapas & Lounge - Gay Bars Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

The oddly named Oasis Bar Tapas Lounge ended up being our gay bar of choice while staying in Condado since it was a block away from our hotel. There are no tapas and it's not very loungy. We went every night, sometimes twice! It's a small dive and surprisingly never crowded which was weird since it's the only "advertised" gay bar within the Condado Beach hotel resort area. Plus, multiple travel sites say a lot of gays live in the area. Four stars mainly because bartender Henry was awesome and very friendly. He remembered our drinks and our names. He even let us pick the music video concert to watch & listen to, switching from a Puerto Rican pop diva concert to Lady Gaga. The sound system is solid and there's plenty of room to dance. If it's too loud, or it's too foggy inside, you can relax under cover outdoors. That's where a bunch of us watched the Miss Universe pageant in Spanish LOL. Happy Hour daily til 8 kept us coming back for 2 for $5 Medalla local brew and $4 wells. The rest room is super clean for a gay bar! The go-go boys are friendly and approachable too ;) read more

Oasis is located in what "was" a local gayborhood, but that was 20 years ago. At that time the area was loaded with gay bars, but no longer. The gay flock has pretty much flown coop, but there are a few birds of the gay feather that flock here. However, that is only on weekends, at late hours, and even then it isn't a very lively romping place to hit. Overall it's clean and though the inside bar area is rather smallish, it has a great outdoor patio perfect for conversation and relaxing. The drinks aren't much and the bartender seems to use the age old trick of sort floating the booze on top of the mixer so at first taste you might be deceived in to believing you're getting a solid drink, but that isn't the case. At least with me, had I consumed the same amount elsewhere I would have definitely fit within the definition of "sloshed." And though there may be other more attentive bartenders at other times, the one I experienced was one of the worst, far more interested in playing with his mobile device than attending to customer needs. So as far as I see it, Oasis is a "Meh!"; a left over relic and lone survivor of what once was a thriving gayborhood. read more

Amazing place! We rented beach chairs and an umbrella on the beach! They gave us a paper menu - inexpensive appetizers and $6 cocktails! We got Long Island Ice Teas and Mai Tais!!! Amazing friendly customer service!!! They deliver it right to you on the beach! We paid and tipped in cash, not sure if they accept CC though. The place turns into a club around 9/10pm. I would highly recommend this bar if you are staying near the beach off Condado Ave! Definitely recommend this place ! read more

Oasis Bar Tapas & Lounge - They deliver to you on the beach!!! - Gay Bars Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Review is for the bar at night - was pretty slow when we visited. A few people outside, a few sitting at the bar watching tv inside, with some dance music playing. Ordered some basic drinks, which tasted terrible, and didn't want to stick around to order more. I'd get beers next time. read more

Best fish tacos in the world! The restrooms need a deep cleaning but I can't take a star away from those tacos.

This place is fantastic! Looks a bit like a hole in the wall, but the food is excellent at a reasonable price! Tired of spending an arm and a leg at your hotel? Come here and have the best fish tacos and tostones you've ever had! Wash it down with a local beer...Medalla Light! read more

The service we recieved from Andres here was AWESOME! We sat on the beach today and were approached by an extremely friendly waiter who gave us a "Beach Special Menu." Me, my wife and our 2 little ones used this place for a solid 6-7 hours! Andres was on top of his game and came back time after time to offer drinks and/or food. (Tipping your waiter well goes a long way). Everything way delivered to us on our beach chairs throughout the day. Beers are $3 and special frozen or on the rocks drinks are $6. Please, tell me where you can beat those prices... I'll wait... The drinks were awesome! I'd recommend their Blue Hawaiian or Piña Coladas! My wife was a fan of their Mojitos! We later ordered lunch through Andres. The empanadas were amazing! We ordered burgers and fries for our little ones and they seemed to like them. Who isn't starving after being on the beach all day though?! Overall, I think this place deserves a 5 star rating! Mind you we did not go to the restaurant so I can't speak on the "night life" or service you'll recieve while in their dining area. We will most definitely use their services again! Huge THANK YOU to Andres for his phenomenal customer service! Thanks Oasis! read more

The bar tender on duty on 24 December 2021 refused to give customer who pay by card a receipt. Since giving a receipt to a customer is required by law....the customer is free to dispute the transaction and get their money back...at least IMHO. read more

Went to the bar on a Monday at 4PM. Was not busy but bartender was super nice. Drinks were good and great price.

It's hard to know what to make of this place from the outside, but it's a friendly neighborhood saloon that's welcoming to locals and visitors alike. Oasis has indoor and outdoor seating, with different feels to each. The patio in front is very relaxed, almost like someone's backyard, though a TV on the wall is always playing a concert video from one pop diva or another. Open the front door and you are immediately hit with a cloud from the smoke machine that works overtime inside. There's disco lighting and a picture of Humphrey Bogart on the wall, plus the same diva video from outside plays inside too, though sometimes the audio is off in favor of very, very loud house music. The staff are friendly guys and pretty free with the shots. Happy hour deals are great, especially the Medalla two-for-one $5 special. There's usually a go-go dancer or two who might dance up on you. They're pretty relaxed and playful, not on prowl like you might find in other places, though one did let me know a lap dance could be bought. If that's your thing, knock yourself out. I went to Oasis several times, at different times of the night, and there was usually no crowd at all, but on a couple occasions, there were a lot of locals, letting loose and whooping it up. It's a comfortable place to let go and a bit of fun on any night. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the place accidentally. It is a gay bar/club at night and an amazing lunch spot during the day. Wow! We've been here 3 times already and they're 3/3. Great food. Great cheap drinks.. And an amazing patio. read more

Went last night, Monday night. It was black out night. Hot vids on the tv, pitch black and lots of fog. Great night! Definitely will return. read more

Unfortunately I can't drink because I was born with hereditary pancreatitis, but I decided to go check out the local gay bar as I'm traveling. I ordered a virgin piña colada and a virgin margarita.. the first drink came out and as soon as I took a sip I spit it out so quickly because it had alcohol in it.. I indeed said no alcohol (twice) and I always make sure I repeat myself because I literally can't drink (one drink will have me hospitalized for several days since my pancreas can't tolerate alcohol) they gave me the second drink and once again alcohol, even after I told them I couldn't drink. I wasn't worried about the money spent but the least they could've done is apologize or offer me a refund. For those who aren't aware hereditary pancreatitis is no joke, the pain is excruciating & has to be monitored with iv pain meds. I hope I don't end up with a flare up because of this. I'm on vacation and don't want to be hospitalized. read more

Was here for 10 minutes before the stripper told me what he wS drinking as if he expected me to buy his drinks. The well rum and diet was $6. Just way to sad with a 70s back room vibe. I really wanted to enjoy this place but the strippers are way to aggressive. read more

Great views, good food, Bradley our waiter was awesome. Would definitely come back. The key lime was really good and loved the cocktails.

Went there for lunch. Food was excellent and very inexpensive. Highly recommend it as a place to drop in and check it out.

Heard there was a shooting there a few nights ago. A few people were killed. Is this true ?

My first trip to PR and we got caught in a deluge and tucked in here for a quick beer to pass the storm, got caught by the lunch menu and had a terrific "home-cooked Criolla" style meal complete with the chef's secret salsa picante-Costillitos de puerco, frijoles y arroz com plantanos which i still covet and am trying to replicate in my home kitchen. the man in charge, Domingo, a serious raconteur and his beautiful son Dominic could not have been more, pleasant, accommodating and engaging. Wish we could have retuned for the nightlife and music and entertainment which sounded very memorable as well... read more

This place was an experience. Only learned of this place because there was a sign out across from the CVS. Walked in and there was gay porn on and the place was pitch black. Met some guys. The go-go boys are aggressive and will rub all of their anatomy on you, which made me uncomfortable, but you don't have to tip unless you want to. Four stars because it was so dark I couldn't see anything. read more

I was misled about this place, It seems more in an upscale area, "yes", I like, but the animosity that I was getting in the neighborhood was disturbing. Would not recommend read more

My partner and I enjoyed a relaxing lunch. We both had the lunch special, he had the stewed beef and I had the stewed chicken. Both came with a side salad and red beans and rice. The service was was very good and other customers were very friendly. read more
