"Graffiti covers the walls of El Batey, a legendary little dive bar in Old San Juan. It's dark, rough, and grimy—the floor is perpetually sticky with spilled drinks and the room smells musty—but there's a vintage jukebox, a pool table, and a grungy charm that will make you want to stick around. Come when you need a break from fruity, umbrella-topped, tropical cocktails—or when you just want to rub elbows with locals and off-duty cruise-ship crews." - Kris Fordham
