Loved watching everyone no matter how old get into the groove. - El Final: red room with DJ booth for more dancing fun - El Desvío: Super small 10-seat candlelit area slightly hidden - La Cubanita: where we parked ourselves to chill Lowlights: - Weekend nights gets very crowded with a line out front in the heart of the nightlife area in old town.

I never had a bad drink here out of the two nights and many drinks had. The layout is amazing with multiple rooms, bars, and DJs. Anything from techno, pop mixes, to latin.

On a Friday we had a short line at 10:30 and it was packed.

Definitely a great time when you're walking around old San Juan to stop by this location and stop in for a drink. Tell Claudia I said hi!

This establishment has multiple floors and is a little bit deceiving from the outside. While you can hang out in the bar on the first floor and have a great time playing one of the provided games, you can also head up to the second or third floors for varying scenery. On the second floor it's a very lounge vibe with some great cushion to seating and eclectic art. On the third floor is picnic style tables on the rooftop, and limited view. Our bartender was excellent, and you'll need to go back downstairs if you're not on the first floor, to order more drinks. It's a drinks only spot so come thirsty! Overall: A+ Great vibes, great service, fun drinks!

Luckily, there was a gentleman outside directing people in, otherwise we may have walked right past it. Once you climb the two flights of stairs, you're rewarded with a beautiful dining space. The restaurant has a rustic, old-world charm with gorgeous décor and an Italian-inspired atmosphere. It immediately felt warm and inviting. There were four of us dining, and we started with two appetizers: the Setas Rellenas and the Chorizo al Vino. Both were excellent, but the Chorizo al Vino was my absolute favorite--absolutely delicious! For my entrée, I ordered the chicken lasagna. I expected chunks of chicken, but it was made with shredded chicken, and wow--it was incredible. The flavor was outstanding, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals of our trip. My husband ordered the beef lasagna, which was also made with shredded beef rather than traditional ground beef. He absolutely loved it. Our friends ordered the Milanesa de Berenjena and the Milanesa de Pollo with a side of gnocchi, and both raved about their meals as well. Since nearly every table seemed to be ordering pizza, we knew we had to try one. We ordered a small pizza for the table, and each of us had a slice. Now we understand why they're known for their pizza--it was fantastic! A special shoutout to our server, Rouil Rodz, who was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you. This restaurant is a hidden gem with a beautiful atmosphere, outstanding food, and excellent service. If you're visiting Old San Juan, I highly recommend adding it to your list.

Had the calamari, shrimp, and burrata app. Highly recommend the burrata. The sauce on the shrimp is delicious...the texture of the calamari was nice, but wished I asked for a marinara sauce, instead of the cilantro, which came off a bit like mayo. Had the octopus main and a chorizo pizza. Loved the chorizo on the pizza, and the tamponade on the octopus. Had the passion fruit creme brûlée...my daughter ordered it...those who follow me know I rarely order dessert...I drink more, have fresh fruit or cheese.
