    There are no pictures from La Nasa. And that's because it's completely dark. Yep, you can barely…read moresee inside this indoors/outdoors club. While Lazy Jacks down the way plays basketball games and pumps US music, La Nasa is much more autentico. Locals gather here and they play classic Puerto Rican party jams. We grabbed some drinks (they have the seemingly ubiquitous Don Q Pina Coladas) and watched people dance some version of the salsa. The atmosphere felt a lot more like what we were looking for -- right on the beach, Spanish speaking only, something that's been around for locals forever. Beware the rickety stairs on the way down to the beach. We almost had serious injury there due to the one spinning step. And I'd skip the $1jello shots just on principle. We really enjoyed the juxtaposition of the really American focused bar down the way and this OG spot. Drop in here, grab a bev, enjoy the dark water and the big sky at night.

    The old-school Caribbean vibe is thick as algae at La Nasa…read more Esperanza itself is only one busy street with 7 or 8 restaurants on it, and La Nasa is the bar at the end that's pumping out PR's favorite party tunes from their covered dance floor that looks over the sea. The local beer, Medalla, is $1.50. Or you can be brave and try one of the many tropical drinks listed on the board behind the bar. We got the "Biobay" for $6 each, and to me it tasted like $12 worth of booze (or at least that's was a super-boozy mix drink can cost in Chicago). We promptly spent our savings on the horse roulette game that everyone was playing. With a limit of two dollars per bet, your money won't run away too fast, and you might as well play because this is, quite literally, the only game in town. We were there a little early in the evening and saw a lot of people dancing the merengue. I'm guessing the dance floor only picks up as the night goes on. My friend commented that the glorious part of the establishment was that it felt more like a family place than a bar - old and young age groups were represented on the floor and on the tables out front. For me, this was definitely a highlight of my trip to Puerto Rico, and I plan to come back with my boyfriend soon to get on that dance floor.

    We live on St. John and my teenage daughter has declared that Back Bar is the best restaurant on…read morethe island. We've been twice recently, and I have also dropped by to have dinner with a friend. The food is full of flavor, and it's not just the usual St. John fare. The Asian influence comes through with soy and ginger flavors peeking through some of the dishes. Their coleslaw? It's so different and delicious. The service we received from Austin was friendly and attentive. He served us both times and it made for a great experience. The ambiance is a mix of a local bar with a covered outdoor-ish dining room. Fans are moving the air, and there are some tunes playing in the background. I've experienced both the bar and the dining area, and they didn't disappoint. The Back Bar hits different, but in all of the good ways.

    Wanted to try somewhere new, and I liked their menu options. Was unfortunate that you have to spend…read moremore money for sides to go with a $20 sandwich, but that's probably normal here. All of the food was delicious. My only complaint was that the side of broccoli was tiny! Maybe 6 heads of broccoli, for $5 + $1 for togo. $1 a head. So I'd choose a different side next time for more money sadly. It was good, just wanted more health than I got. All of the sandwiches were good, just wish the chicken sandwich had some pickles on it to add some acidity. But overall a very good meal. The two male workers there were kind and helpful.
