"Beer bar Lúpulo is always blasting the best playlist and serving a wide array of beers on draft as well as in bottles and cans. Focus your drinking efforts on local breweries, such as those from Boxlab in Aguadilla on the island’s west coast or Zurc Brauhaus in Coamo. Everything pairs well with the selection of bar food, including some truly wonderful french fries, wings, and an excellent Cubano." - Paulina Salach Antonetti, Alicia Kennedy

"With 50 craft beers on tap and hundreds of beers from all over the world, including artisanal local brews, “Lúpulo” is the perfect place to start your night or your day. It is a comfortable space with high ceilings, big windows and a long wood bar. It is a popular hangout for locals as well as for tourists roaming the city streets. Brunch at Lúpulo is hardcore and delicious. They specialize in “hangover cure” drinks and dishes. Try their audacious Bloody Mary, topped with one egg, tomatoes, orange slices, celery slices, 3 olives and a small ham and cheese sandwich." - Ana Jovane Serrano

"With 50 taps and over 150 bottles, La Taberna is a Puerto Rican craft beer bar serving local brews Ocean Lab, and FOK, along with mainland and international favorites in a breezy building from the 1700s. The beef sliders and beer fries (more like chips) will snuff out the hunger that comes with a day of trekking through the city."

"La Taberna Lúpulo is a gorgeous Old San Juan tavern with soaring beamed ceilings, big oak doors flung open to the street, and a long wooden bar. When you think about drinks in Puerto Rico, you don't immediately think beer bar, but from the moment you walk in, it's clear that's what this spot is about: Shelves of bottles line the walls, the bar boasts a whopping 50 taps, and there's a huge chalkboard scribbled with the bartenders' favorites." - Kris Fordham

Great spot on the North end of Old San Juan. The service and atmosphere was lovely. Split the Cubano which was a delicious offering. Loaded with meat was MORE than enough for 2. Open air seating. Large selection of beer options from PR and all over. I enjoyed the fries but they are double fried and are very greasy.

The best part about this experience was the food. The Questo Frito was sooo yummy! We inhaled it (did not photograph). The cheese was so good on its own, but adding the guava sauce? Incredible. The Burger Sliders were really good too! A lot of flavor on those smaller bites (it comes with 4 sliders, a good portion)! The fish tacos were pretty good too. The fish were pretty battered but the taste was fresh! The poorer parts of this experience was how long it took for the food. The bar had less than 10 people inside when we ordered and it took well over 30mins for our food to arrive. The music was terrible inside, loud and messy. Our server was kind though and we thought he did well. Bathrooms were good, they had soap and overall were pretty clean.

Incredible place! Do yourself a favour when in San Juan and go get a beer from here. And if you’re peckish, get the beer chips! Staff were amazing and helpful and more than happy to help pair you with the perfect drink! 🍺

Amazing! The selection of beer was vast and available in both draft and bottle, and the food was stellar. The fried cheese curds with guava sauce was a standout (on the level with some I had in Madison, WI). The fish tacos were on point and the Cuban sandwich was excellent. Will come back!

If you like beer this is your bar in San Juan. They have plenty of local beers on tap as well as beers from all over, right now they have 47 beers on tap. One of my favorite breweries, Ommegang, is even here. They gladly hand out a taste of any brew before you commit to a full glass. We got some food to snack on, hummus & pita and chips & salsa which hit the spot. Plenty of other great options on the menu as well. The all around vibe is just awesome, could sit here all day. Staff is great and fun, very helpful with suggestions if you need help picking a brew out. Highly recommend this place as a must stop when visiting San Juan.

Excellent small place. We stopped there for some chicken wings and beer and we had a great time. They have a great variety of draft beers. We tried a couple and they tasted great.
