We had a great time!!!! They were super mega busy but they handled it well. Didn’t take too long for us to get our drinks. Enjoyed the vibes, music, the dancing, the men with no shirts, and the drinks!!! Great time! Great time!
Had a GREAT time visiting El Cafetín! We visited several times on our trip and kept recommending it to fellow travelers and other guests visiting the island that we would bump into in the lobby of our resort or during excursions. It's located on the outskirts of Old San Juan. Walking distance to 'El Castillo del Morro'. The 'Urbano' vibe is amazing and lively. As soon as you walk in, the music takes over and induces you to move to the rhythms. All the bartenders that helped us were very respectful, and courteous. We would like to highlight 'Jadiel' (in pic) he was fantastic. We tried all the flavors, but our favorite was the coco and parcha (passionfruit). We enjoyed the variety of patrons. The 'puro pari' vibes flow out onto the cobblestone streets. It never felt unsafe and both locals and tourist seemed to be there with the common objective: Enjoying life and the simple pleasures of a well-made drink. ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS Cafetín por una experiencia de otro nivel!
When I tell you we stumbled across this place while looking for our car and let me tell you, it was meant to be.. the service on our first day by Alexander, was amazing! He was so sociable and nice. The ambience and drinks were phenomenal, needless to say, we went back the next day and was met by another great bartender, Nef. Both were amazing and fun to chat with, when asked if this place was a gay bar or?? The answer we loved to hear was, we have everyone in here.. and we loved to hear that since my husband and I didn’t want to feel out of place or that we couldn’t be ourselves. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for great service, great drinks and great music
The best $5 mojitos!!!!!! Good music, food, games and dancing. Super tiny spot though, so if you manage to get a table hang onto it. I prefer this bar to La Factoría across the street. The only complaint is the bathrooms. They don’t have doors on the bathrooms and you have to ask for tissue at the bar.

6 months agoFriendly service and bar games to play. Good tunes and vibe but gets very packed so getting a drink is tricky sometimes.
