Food scene

This bar is cozy and nice. It's owned by locals and not many tourists come here, given that it's hidden from the touristy area. Come here if you want to have a local's experience. Plus, you can try their awesome homemade "empanadas"!

If you happen to go to La Perla...

...A very humble neighborhood right inside Old San Juan. You can safely hang out inside La Perla, but don't record any videos or take pictures are locals don't like it. Don't get into fights with locals or draw attention. Just be chill and you'll be fine.
