La Factoria is a labyrinth of six bars ruling Old San Juan’s nightlife. Fancy a Cuban-inspired cocktail but your friend wants a first-class wine? No problem, La Factoria can do both, and do it well. What’s more, there’s live salsa music twice a week.
Suitcase
Trading off its reputation, La Factoría has no need of a sign above its door, but you’ll always find a crowd congregating around its rugged exterior come evening. Sample the eclectic cocktails that earned it a place on the The World’s 50 Best Bars list.

Le Journal de Montréal
It should be mentioned that our expectations were high, since the grunge-chic establishment proudly bears the title of "best bar in the Caribbean" and has featured numerous times in the top 50 best bars in the world (the only one in the entire Antilles!)
Amateur Traveler
The most lively street in Old San Juan is Calle San Sebastián in the northern part of the city, not that far from El Morro. Here you can find bars like La Factoria, which was named one of the 50 best bars in the world.
Sabrosía
La Factoría es y siempre será la barra por excelencia de nuestra isla. Mas allá de simplemente ser una barra de coctelería moderna, es un speakeasy con varios ambientes diferentes dentro de su espacio. Una vez adentro, puedes brindar con vino y unas tapas, bailar salsa hasta que las rodillas no puedan más, estar al aire libre en el segundo piso o simplemente estar relajado en un ambiente lounge.
Suitcase
There’s no sign outside this rather weathered looking bar – it
doesn’t need one. Old San Juan’s famous little speakeasy is among The World’s 50 Best Bars, so make sure you swing by for its renowned cocktails, such as the popular, pastel-coloured Lavender Mule (vodka, ginger tea, lavender and citrus).
