  • 1. Antiguo 26

    Set in a former Soda Factory, Antiguo 26 serves homemade sodas, craft cocktails, and creative tapas in a setting reminiscent of The Great Gatsby.

    261 Tetuan St., 00901, Puerto Rico
  • 2. Bananas

    Bars/Pubs

    Bananas is the place for burgers and beer—and not necessarily in that order. There's occasional live music and dancing, and a Monday happy-hour special on bottles of Medalla, the local brew.

    142 Calle Flamboyán, Esperanza, Vieques, 00765, Puerto Rico
    787-741–8700
  • 3. Bar La Unidad

    Dark, sexy, and romantic, this hidden speakeasy is a lovely spot for a cocktail. There's a cigar lounge in the back room, and the sliders are delicious. There's no sign, so look for the three red rings on the door.

    562 Calle Cuevillas, 00907, Puerto Rico
    787-985–9292
  • 4. Birra y Empanadas

    As the name suggests, this small bar is known for its beers and its small but tasty selection of baked empanadas. Ask for the homemade sauces.

    150 Calle Cruz, 00901, Puerto Rico
    787-721–6073
  • 5. Brava

    Dress to impress at this chic hotel dance club, where a long line of young people (21-plus) wait to get in Thursday through Saturday. Each of the two levels has its own DJ and dance floor.

  • 6. Calypso Café

    On weekends the Calypso Café often has live music. The open-air establishment has a daily sunset happy hour and is a good place to grab fresh ceviche, grilled fish, or a juicy burger after you've had your fill of the beach.

    Rte. 4413, Rincón, n/a Puerto Rico, 00677, Puerto Rico
    787-823–1626
  • 7. Dinghy Dock

    Watch the island's expat community pile into this bar around sunset—it can be a raucous scene, especially when there's a band. The party continues into the wee hours, even on weeknights.

    Calle Fulladoza, Dewey, Culebra, 00775, Puerto Rico
    787-742–0233
  • 8. Duffy's

    Bars/Pubs

    Hands-down, Duffy's is the most popular bar on the island, thanks to live music, daily specials, and a prime location on Esperanza's Malecón—not to mention the jawboning of owner Michael Duffy.

    140 Calle Flamboyán, Esperanza, Vieques, 00765, Puerto Rico
    787-741–7600
  • 9. El Batey

    This legendary dive bar won't win any prizes for decor, but it has an irresistibly artsy and welcoming vibe. Add your own message to the graffiti-covered walls—they have a "B.Y.O.S." policy (Bring Your Own Sharpie)—or hang your business card alongside the hundreds that cover the light fixtures. The jukebox has the best selection of oldies in town, and locals crowd the back room for billiards.

    101 Calle Cristo, 00901, Puerto Rico
  • 10. El Vino Crudo

    Tucked away in an alleyway off Calle Fortaleza, Old San Juan's newest bar pays tribute to a world selection of natural wines. The lovely owners, an expat husband-and-wife team from New York, passionately serve their carefully curated wines that are farmed organically or biodynamically. It's a great place to start your night or end with a nightcap in a romantic setting. Pop-ups by local chefs are hosted monthly.

    320 Fortaleza St., 00901, Puerto Rico
  • 11. Esquina el Watusi

    Santurce

    For a non-touristy experience, head to this lively dive bar in the heart of Santurce, and order a Medalla or a rum drink with fresh juice. There's often live music being played on the street to a packed house. Be sure to take in the incredible street art on a stroll through the area.

  • 14. Junglebird

    Santurce

    Run by the same guys as La Factoría in Old San Juan, this tropical tiki bar is steps from La Placita. Although it has a charming patio, its dark, cozy interior is a pleasant respite from the busy marketplace, and the bar food is excellent, with a rotating, seasonal menu.

    254 Calle Canals, San Juan, n/a Puerto Rico, 00907, Puerto Rico
    787-995–9706
  • 15. KUMO

    1359 Av. Ponce de León, San Juan, n/a Puerto Rico, 00907, Puerto Rico
    787-523–6538
  • 17. La Taberna Lúpulo

In addition to limited seating on the second and third floors, there are some outdoor tables across the street. On Sunday, there's live music in the adjacent alleyway (Callejón de la Tanca). The bar has a second San Juan location, across the street from La Concha hotel.

    280 Calle Norzagaray, 00901, Puerto Rico

  • 19. Mamacita's

    The island's favorite gringo watering hole is always jumping, with a weekday happy hour (4–6) and Saturday night's live music jam. Don't miss the bar's signature drink: the frozen Bushwhacker—a delicious but deadly mix of rum, vodka, Bailey's, amaretto, Kahlua, and coconut.

    66 Calle Castelar, Culebra, 00775, Puerto Rico
    787-742–0090
