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!

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!

We had amazing drinks here. The milk punch was delicious and they had clear ice cube with special garnishes. The vibe was super chill and the other tables were all having a good time. Only complaint was the carrot cake was very cold and tasted like the refrigerator. Cake needs to be room temperature so the butter can be moist.

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.

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 and I loved it. I came on a Wednesday night and was able to catch happy hour. So first I came because they won the James Beard Award and I saw them on a couple of list. So I did have some expectations and I would say they exceeded my expectations which is difficult. So first the service was amazing; they were very friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable both the menu. My drink which I still think about was absolutely delicious the lychee coconut drink so good. The perfect balance of flavors and liquors and beautiful. The food; was delicious as well and I still think about the delicious crispy rice, bao buns and tartare. This place is a must stop if you are in Puerto Rico. I recommend it. I still think about it and it has been over a week.

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!
