La Taberna Lúpulo on Postcard

"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

"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 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

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.

I’m a huge craft beer fan, and before my trip to Puerto Rico, I looked up local craft beer spots. This place immediately caught my attention, and we decided to visit on our first night. Wow, it was amazing! If you love craft beer, you need to check it out. They not only carry a wide variety of local brews, but they also have a fantastic draft list featuring breweries from the U.S. I was pleasantly surprised to see Jester King from Austin, Texas, on their list. My girlfriend and I loved it so much that we visited every night during our stay in Puerto Rico. The place has a great vibe, and the bartenders were incredibly cool and helpful when it came to trying local beers. Shout out to Joshua, Hector, and Jeff for being the coolest bartenders on the island. The owners clearly take pride in this place, and it shows. It’s a great spot to hang out and explore local beers.

Another awesome visit today there. In a cruise and always make sure we go there each time. Great beers & food and the staff are wonderful! Will be back Sept 30 on another cruise and looking forward to going back. The best Fish Tacos and Blistered Shishito Peppers. Joey & Matt are great. Know them for many years now and got to meet the manager today - Salina. Mentioned to a couple on our cruise to check it out and they did. They were amazed by the place!

This one of my husband favorite place and what he define as a happy place. They always have a huge variety of beer including local ones. Wings are really good and we actually feel in vacations when we are here.

Came here while walking around San Juan on a trip and it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip for me & my husband. This spot had 47 beers on tap to choose from, and several different food options. We decided to order 3 different flights and 3 different dishes, and we spent a solid 2 hours here. In this time, we were able to enjoy AMAZING beer, the BEST salsa we've ever had, and phenomenal customer service. The atmosphere was laid back and fun, the staff were kind and helpful, and the food and drink options were excellent. If I'm back in San Juan again, I plan on returning here.

Sick little spot in Viejo San Juan! When we went, we ordered different beer flights because they had a plethora of choices for different kinds of beers to choose from. I didn't end up getting a flight (I got the Patria Light, which was pretty good for me as a person who doesn't drink beer like that) but my friend, a true beer connoisseur, indulged in a flight and was able to try different beers. Overall, cool spot to get your beer fix in and try the many different kinds they have to offer. They also sell food here (just bar food, nothing crazy) if you need to snack on something as you sip away! Tip--Bathrooms are in the back outside as single stalls

This place was perfect! We found room in the back for our group of 8, and the food and drinks were fast, and hit the spot. The "crunch wrap" was very good.

Make sure to stop in here! This was a fantastic stop!! The open air bar, music, mix of tourists and locals, and fantastic beer selection is a definite destination for a beer lover. They had many local beers on tap, various styles. The wings were also great with the spicy guava sauce. Definitely try those. The bar tenders were attentive with a fairly crowded bar, and service was prompt. Really enjoyed our stop here and will visit again when back in town.
