Drinks & Nightlife
This is a simple 'road house' kind of bar most of the week, but on Monday nights San Juan's young, hip, crowd turns out by the hundreds for traditional 'Bomba' music. No cover, no entrance - the crowd packs the street and space in front of the open gazebo where local musicians, singers and dancers 'jam' from 8:30 - midnight. Open every night, but bomba music featured on Monday nights. Don't miss it! A truly unique local cultural experience. Drinks are cheap and bar food available.
