Cocktails, bar bites, multiple rooms with distinct vibes & music
"We sipped unique wine-based cocktails at La Factoría in San Juan, which I consider one of the world’s best bars." - Paris Wilson
"Mentioned as a nightlife spot, I’d go dancing at La Factoría — the text highlights it simply as a place to dance during a Puerto Rico night out." - Nicole Kliest
"If you are looking for a bar with great cocktails, a laid back “trashy-chic” atmosphere, keep your eyes open or you might miss it. On the corner of San Sebastian and San José St. a sign that says “Hijos de Borinquén” points to "La Factoria”. Cocktails are delicious and if you are hungry, a door next to the bar leads to “Vino”, another secluded bar with a great selection of wines and delicious food. A third door leads to another bar where live music is played. You can spend the evening there, jumping from bar to bar to bar" - Ana Jovane Serrano
"A dimly lit Old San Juan cocktail bar repeatedly honored as one of the region's best: it balances salsa-fueled local vibes with international acclaim while retaining a neighborhood feel. Signature drinks include the lavender mule (widely popular) and the Hijos de Boriquén, described as "made from Don Q añejo rum, apricot liqueur, and plenty of cinnamon," a cocktail that evokes Caribbean warmth and playfulness." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
