La Factoría began as a nice, quiet speakeasy. But several expansions - and an infusion of Puerto Rican passion and music - has seen it become an epic venue. Pick your favorite room and enjoy!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
valerieDecember 30, 2015Come here to get away from the cruise ship zombies or when you can't listen to any more salsa. Great vibe, fancy drinks, delicious bites, and hip indie music. Mostly locals, from what I gathered.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Mayuresh GaikwadApril 9, 2017A hipstery, speakeasy to hit with your crew. Warm up with a few cocktails in bar1, get cozy in wine bar2, groove to live salsa in bar3 to finally trip on to New York'sque house music in bar4. Cheers
Eshrefe ShehuSeptember 8, 2019Hijos de Borinquen is a handsome and delicious cocktail; yet you can’t go wrong with any of the choices. Great vibe, beautiful interior. One of the greatest bars I have ever been. Love this place.
Timothy AppnelFebruary 17, 2022Great cocktails in a vibrant, eclectic & classy scene every day of the week. Don’t stop at the first bar. There are 6 rooms with their own theme and vibe. I enjoyed an Old Cuban in La Cubanita.
Allicat22 WFebruary 17, 2017Open the wooden door slightly behind the bar in the first bar, go into bar 2 (wine bar), and then again there is another slider door into bar 3 (music later evening and yet another bar). Fun!- AmberApril 15, 2021If you're in Puerto Rico you can't miss La Factoria. Ranked one of the best bars in the world, it contains multiple themed bars & truly has something for everyone. Save enough time to explore them all
Marjorie Muniz-MonroyFebruary 2, 2016We had the octopus, a sandwich called la tripleta, beef sliders, Mediterranean pizza. All were very good I was frankly impressed by the quality of the food. I'm from Houston and a very spoiled foodie
Gillian MorrisMay 27, 2019James Beard Award-winning cocktail bar with several differently-themed rooms that open as the night wears on... recommended for late night any night
Lisa RJanuary 27, 2016Great, creative cocktails and a good selection of tapas, it was lovely on a weeknight because although there were actually people there it was comfortable and not crushed in w/ weekend warriors.
Ranu RajkarnikarFebruary 24, 2015Great cocktail spot. Love the worn walls and cozy vibe. I hear there's a separate space behind the bar that plays salsa too.
John JeffreyAugust 14, 2015Order any of the signature cocktails. Meticulously crafted, they are all delicious and a feast for the eyes. Grab the table by the window if possible for people watching on the cobblestone streets.
D KMarch 5, 2020Good cocktails! We especially liked the Mercado Roma. Good place to stop and grab a drink.
Paola CabreroMarch 21, 2015This place is great! Saturdays are a good day to go, they have a salsa group. They have great wines and service is pretty good also, not as cheap but worth it! It's a good time 👌- Patricia GonzalezJuly 30, 2019Popular among young locals, La Factoría is a speakeasy bar with good music and drinks. Be sure to explore the different rooms throughout the night. You'll find music genres for all!
Omer ZachMay 20, 2015Try the spiced old fashioned or the lavender mule—or tell the bartender what you feel like and they'll mix up something good.
Endel VazquezMarch 2, 2016At fisrt you see this small bar with few stool bars anf sofas but take a peak thru the wood door behind the bar to several rooms with diferent atmospheres.
Lavender mule from the front bar. Do it! Also, there's a cocktail with cherry gin and cucumber that is to die for! Hipstery-fun vibe, creative-dedicated bartenders.
Nick BurtoMay 20, 2015This place is awesome. Cocktails amazing. Feels like you're still in NYC especially given bartender used to work in NoLita! Try the spiced rum Old Fashioned.
Jeff ForbesMay 19, 2015Cocktails were great (both the mojito and spiced old fashioned), but the surprising star was the orders of steamed pork buns we got. Spicy and wonderful.
Jacobo GómezAugust 21, 2016Really great spot. It has 4 different consecutive speakeasy/secret entrance bars. You have to go here if you're ever in El Viejo San Juan at night
Christine ByunNovember 29, 2019Good cocktails. All 7 rooms open only on weekends; a few are closed during some of the weekdays
Vania N.July 26, 2015Great mixology and bartenders! Check out the boards for their recommendations or ask them to come up with something that pleases your taste.
Eric LJune 10, 2015If you want craft cocktails in a Williamsburg setting, this is your bar. Four rooms - each with its own menu.- Betty GonzalezNovember 12, 2018Nice local bar in a great ambiance with salsa live music, 4 ambiance in one location. Spectacular cocktails and music.
Maria ReleaApril 15, 2016Great place for different types of music. Drinks are overpriced and gets too crowded but go on a weekday for some relaxed fun.
Kevin ChanMarch 24, 2014Food here is a nice alternative to the overpriced, touristy San Juan standard fare. Come with friends and order off the tapas menu.
Erica JohnsonFebruary 15, 2021Multiple rooms with different vibes so just keep going until you find what you like. Cocktails are excellent!
Serden ErenJanuary 28, 2015Cocktails, food, ambiance..you get everything here. If you are going to spend one night in San Juan this is the place to go.
RamyaMarch 13, 2016Lavender mule if you are adventurous with your cocktails. There's 2 more bars interconnected each with different drinks and music.
Go to the bar behind the principal bar, it's more relax. Have some wine and ask for the Bacon wrapped dates with almonds.
Blake DonahueFebruary 12, 2016The Tequila cocktail with Chocolate bitters from vino is amazing plus the DJ in the 4th bar will trip you out!
Stephanie DeDeckerApril 19, 2018Great cocktail bar with something for everyone. Was also featured in Despacito
- Michael LopezAugust 15, 2019This is the spot where night life makes a statement. Made famous by the song "Despacito" however its amazing vibe and cocktails have always been the soul of this place.
Inna GOctober 25, 2021Speakeasy feel with different rooms. Nice vibe with amazing drinks. Each room has a different vibe.
Damian BayonaMay 18, 2015A backroom lounge with a relaxed, upscale feel. Great cocktails from experienced bartenders. Only import beers
Joey JNovember 6, 2015The lavender mule is made with fresh lavender sprigs. Just incredible. Fun spot in Old San Juan.
Jeremy FisherFebruary 23, 2016Excellent cocktails. Check out the various adjoining rooms, each with their own menu
Jenky Nolasco NicasioFebruary 21, 2020Mojitos are the fucking best you can get here. If they run out of mojitos, you still can get the frozen mojitos, which are the next best!
Certainly StrangeFebruary 8Daytime drinks = faster service. Great tasting cocktails. Cool vibe. Hit the bar in back.
Irena PierovaMay 7, 2019The world where you can lo(o)se yourself for the whole night when you find out about other rooms...
Madm FiaMay 17, 2015Cute place I could imagine in Lower East Side with salsa music and lots of dancing. Great interior.
Paul SanwaldNovember 28, 2015Spicy old fashioned is fantastic. Great vibe, not too crowded if you go early.
