I recently had the pleasure of visiting this cool vibe bar in the Conado area, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked to the front door, they invited me in, even though they weren't open yet. i I was captivated by the stylish decor and the welcoming atmosphere. The dimly lit interior, coupled with a well-curated playlist, created the perfect ambiance for a night out.
The bar staff was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about their extensive cocktail menu. I tried their signature drinks, and each one was a delightful blend of flavors and presentation.
What truly set this bar apart was the music. The diverse crowd made for an engaging and fun experience, and I met some interesting people throughout the evening.
Overall, I can't recommend this cool vibe bar enough. Whether you're looking for a romantic date spot or a place to hang out with friends, it offers an unforgettable experience. I can't wait to go back and enjoy the cool vibes, drinks, and music all over again.
Love the vibe of this speakeasy, the barber shop theme is awesome, every detail was carefully planned. The got a lot of creative cocktails and every single one we tried was tasty. Very attentive staff, cocktails takes their time. Wednesday night was perfect, not crowded at all. Prices not on menu, but expect to pay $13 per cocktail. Parking on the street, credit cards accepted.
Jose is the man! A true mixologist and master of his craft. All of the cocktails I had were incredible. Easily the best cocktail bar in the Condado area. Even when out of ingredients (which happens in PR) he was able to make me a Black Manhattan which was delicious. Other personal recommendations include Gentleman's Cut, Barrilito Smoked Old Fashioned, Tiki Man(hattan), El Barbero Viejo, and El Bigote de Luigi (extremely refreshing - even as a non-gin person). . Ask about the history of the items here, this place is a true treasure!
Amazing cocktails, atmosphere, and service! The actual barber chairs are a fun detail. The bartender is a true artist and there is a huge variety of cocktail options on the menu. We went on a Wednesday night and the kitchen was already closed so we didn’t get a chance to try the food, but looked like they had some good munchies as well. A must stop if you are out in San Juan!
We've been wanting a cozy, low key neighborhood bar with decent bar food and can't believe we only just found El Bar Bero! I loved the eclectic, vintage barbershop (bero) decor, good lighting & music- but the drink options were what really impressed. They had all the best "original" cocktails- I had the moscow mule & my husband the house manhattan- along with your traditional island drinks, and they were all expertly made. The bar is really the main attraction of the room, and for good reason- the drinks are perfect!
While this isn't a restaurant (so don't expect a server/ you go to the bar to order) they do serve a few food items and again, exceeded our expectations. The fish tacos were delicious and the chicken/sausage sliders- something the door man recommended- were not only tasty but really original. The bill was like $40- which is hard to beat...! We're super excited to have this great local option so close to home!!!

(Broc did have an issue with there not being soap in the men's bathroom, but I'm still giving 5 stars (the women's did!) bc I doubt that's the norm...)
