Identidad Cocktail Bar

Really cool place. Low key. Great cocktail list for being small. Small but driven and expertly crafted. Wait is not that long for a newly extremely popular place. Congratulations on the James Beard Award. An absolute destination must when in San Juan. Wonderful people working there, bilingual and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Cheers!

My new favorite cocktail bar! Drinks were made with so much love and care. Omg and the fooooooddddd! Yes yes yes. The servers were so nice and attentive. Checking on us throughout the whole experience. I’ll definitely be back!

If I could give this place 10K stars, I would. 🌟 The cocktails were phenomenal, balanced, creative, and crafted with intention. I didn’t get to try the food, but the drinks alone set the bar and then some. What makes Identidad special is the vibe: dimmed lights, modern accents, and that unmistakable Santurce energy. The staff radiates warmth and curiosity. Sit at the bar and you’ll feel it instantly. Outstanding drinks, unforgettable experience. Already a local favorite.

We came to this place as the Bar had won a James beard award a couple of days before we went, and I can see why. The bar is spectacular and without a doubt the cocktails are superior to the ambiance. This place is an experience itself. From the waitress to the bartenders, the service is top notch. I can see why this place won an award. We loved the creativity of every cocktail we ordered.

Gorgeous location. Beautiful decor, modern and clean. Bartenders are also the owners, their passion for the industry was apparent from talking to them. Very knowledgeable in making craft cocktails which were…wow is all we could say! So good! We had the Juniper Paradise, Cochee Milk Punch and Whiskey Coco. Delicioso!

The Cochee Milk Punch and Fresas y Flores blew my mind. Some of the best and most creative drinks I’ve ever had. Great service.

Read about them being nominated for a James Beard Award and had to come try. The cocktails by Edrick Colón were spectacular! We tried the ‘Juniper Paradise’, ‘Vida’, and the ‘Sandia! Sandia! Sandia!’ And all three were delicious! We ordered the ‘masitas de cerdo’ which were super flavorful, crunchy, meaty and accompanied by a great spicy sauce on the side. The star of the night, however, were their famous ‘Piña Colada Mahi Bao Buns’. Absolutely worth going there for. The space is quaint, a bit minimalistic (in a good way), and very tasteful. The ambiance was good, along with the music selection. It got a bit loud for me at the end of our sitting, but that’s to be expected from a small space when it’s full of happy consumers. I rated them a 4/5 stars in service because the ‘masitas de cerdo’ arrived before we had silverware, napkins or plates - which is a small detail that hopefully gets tweaked but it is a bit of a pet peeve of mine to have hot food in front of me and not being able to dig right in yet. A small attention to detail. Another thing I really enjoyed is that the place was never so full that you feel like you’re in a can of sardines. Overall had a great experience and looking forward to going back and working my way through the rest of their menus.

We came specifically for cocktails and it did not disappoint. We tried several cocktail bars while in San Juan and this was the best we had. Between two of us we had four drinks and they all had a different twist. The staff were very good to explain each drink and the proper way to drink to experience the flavors. While the price may be higher than other places, the experience and complexity of the drinks is worth it. If we had more days, we'd come back again for sure.

I came here without any expectation early (7pm) on a Saturday night and it blow me away. What an amazing place to have a good time with friends or even a nice date. Located in one of the trendiest street at the moment, Calle Cerra, Santurce. The space had a great atmosphere with cool music and cozy vibes. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners who was very friendly and helpful. Extensive variety of cocktails to choose from. Not only they look stunning but they tasted incredible. All the ones we tried were excellent! One of my favorite Sandia, Sandia, Sandia, so refreshing. BUT the huge surprise of the night was the food. Who would have thought that a cocktail bar would have such a memorable dinning experience. We indulged in several dishes like tuna tartar, crocantes de atún, masitas de cerdo and the iconic crujiente de portobello, which is basically a mesclun salad with stawberries, gorgonzola cheese, nuts and huge crunchy fried portobello mushroom on top, DELICIOUS!!!!! Definitely coming back just for that. I recommend you uber to get there, parking is hard to find. Also, if you are planning to go on a weekend night, try to have a reservation in advance bc they limit the amount of people inside which I kind of like to not overpacked. Overall, the place has solid flavors and drinks with outstanding staff and atmosphere! We had a great experience. Coming back soon!

What a wonderful experience at La identidad. The drinks were exquisite and the owner was passionate about each and every one that we ordered. The vibe was incredible as well. Definitely recommend for some great cocktails.

Amazing drinks but perfect atmosphere! Excellent playlist the whole time we were there, good salsa mostly. The bartenders were also very very attentive and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Delicious cocktails, chill ambiance, great food. Staff was superb. Guests were cool. It was the perfect way to end a Thursday night with my best friend.
