Local Nightlife

If you're a person that loves music and dancing Luis and I have found a couple of places that you'll enjoy. One of them is in old San Juan it's called the Factoria. The ambiance here is electric. The weekend is the best time to go. The Factoria has several floors with many bar areas with an abundance of drinks to choose from. In the back of the building, there is usually a live band playing with people laughing, dancing and sweating their evening away. Don't be intimidated by all the great dancing going on because there are usually a couple of Damas and Caballeros teaching some dance moves. By the time we walked out of there we were covered in sweat from all the dancing it was so much fun!!! One small tip: It's very difficult to find parking in the area so we suggest that you take an Uber plus we don't want you drinking and driving.

The second place that we've enjoyed since our move to P.R. is La Plaza de Mercado en Santurce. Go here on a Friday or Saturday night. On the left corner of this Plaza there is a little place that sells the best $5 mojitos around they definitely don't skimp on the rum. The Plaza is filled with the energy of the visitors, laughing, dancing to the music the night lights in the trees make me think of fireflies floating around. Within footsteps, there are several other options for food and drinks. Highly recommend this place. Go see it for yourself.

Last but not least is Lote 23 also located in Santurce. Now if you are looking for a laid back place to take your date or a family night this is the place to be. There are picnic tables with umbrellas sprawled out all over for visitors to relax and enjoy their meals plus the aura from the lighting is spectacular in the evening. Lote 23 has a spectrum of food truck options from Puerto Rican cuisine to Italian and Thai. The last time we went there was a small stage with live music playing. Everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious. Hope you try these out on your visit and enjoy them as much as we did. Buen Provecho...
