Don Pablo

Some little dessert pastry with ice cream and caramel and brown sugar. Bottom left on the menu. This gringo can’t pronounce it, but it’s good. Trust me, I am a recovering fat guy.
The papajac is a fantastic new drink. Juice box for adults. Add a shot if it’s not strong enough.

First bar stop in Old San Juan. Great little joint. The bartender, Eric, is the MAN. Dude got here from Portland Oregon a few months ago and is living the dream slinging pops in PR. He wrote my lady and I a very long and comprehensive list of where to eat and drink during our stay and every place has been off the charts.
Fresh juices for my rum. Strong shots. Cheap drinks.
Winna winna, chicken dinna.

My husband loved the Guava Beer. We were the only customers at this small pub when we stopped in on a Monday afternoon. The drink menu was unique (I posted a photo) and if you’re in the area and want a cocktail at an easy casual place — this is a good choice.

Bartender was super friendly and suggested a great drink!
Good vibe. Nice chill bar and great atmosphere.

Even though I have never had drinks at this place — I went over and tried their food options. They do a great job with the chicken and waffles as well as some empanadas that have some great fillings. The owner is a really cool guy!

We stopped by on a jaunt through Old San Juan at the suggestion of a friend. He had told me that there was a bartender there from Portland, and sure enough I recognized him.
Erik is great! He makes a fabulous drink, and is super friendly. We had the signature cocktail, but their menu had a great selections.
The only thing I would have liked would be a climate controlled bar, but proximity, selection and staff made it all wonderful.

Love this bar. Was here ten years ago and still has the same cool vibe. The place is known for the Papa Jac, but the bartenders are great and are good mixologists if you don’t want something so sweet. It’s got a cozy dive bar feel and the drinks are nicely priced. I think they served someone food but never have eaten here. It was cash only when we went, so make sure you have some on hand. Also, beware bathroom aren’t great so plan accordingly. Overall, though, this place rocks.

Popped in on a Tuesday afternoon for an impromptu bar tour… Great cocktails. Had the Mojito and Pine Design. Love it — stop on by.
