"Dark, dim, and a little grungy, with its scuffed checkerboard floors, worn old couches, peeling walls, and chalkboard menus, La Factoria feels like a clandestine underground speakeasy. The bar is famous for taking Puerto Rican mixology to the next level and the cocktails are refreshingly simple but masterfully made. The signature drink, the Lavender Mule—a mix of vodka, ginger beer, and homemade lavender infusion—is the perfect way to kick off the night." - Alicia Kennedy
"If you are looking for a bar with great cocktails, a laid back “trashy-chic” atmosphere, keep your eyes open or you might miss it. On the corner of San Sebastian and San José St. a sign that says “Hijos de Borinquén” points to "La Factoria”. Cocktails are delicious and if you are hungry, a door next to the bar leads to “Vino”, another secluded bar with a great selection of wines and delicious food. A third door leads to another bar where live music is played. You can spend the evening there, jumping from bar to bar to bar" - Ana Jovane Serrano
"The best bar in the Caribbean, located in San Juan, recognized for its innovative cocktails and lively environment."
"La Factoria is the stuff of legends. It has existed as Puerto Rico’s ultimate drinks destination for more than a decade and helped pioneer the craft cocktail movement throughout Latin America. But the team hasn’t been resting on their laurels. Walk into this well-worn lounge on any given evening and you’ll be greeted by fun riffs on Daiquiris, Coladas, and more — all washed down with live entertainment nightly." - Brad Japhe
"Dancing until someone says, “whoa, how is it after 2am?” is one of the best ways to experience the nightlife of Old San Juan, and La Factoria is where you should do it. There are six different bars inside, and each has its own menu and plays different music, including a dancehall that has live salsa on Sundays and Mondays. Start at the front, take a shot of tequila, and explore them all until it’s way past your bedtime." - adriana silva
