Cool decor BUT the bartender (malewith long hair (kinda reminds me of David Grohl from Nirvanaovercharged me ( How do I know? The female who was there charged us far less for 3 drinks that included vodka, and 2 shots $19 (I gave a $3 tip due to her hospitality). When he charges $20 for the same but without the shots, while rudley responding (about 2-3, times,"What?! I dont understand you," when I was speaking Spanish ( Im NORTH AMERICAN BUT OF PUERTO RICAN DESCENTand I let it go due to my best friend visiting from NYC telling me to do so ... But when he overcharged me and someone (from YONKERStold me he did the same; I told them my truth. The original female bartender kicked me out; while speaking my concern. SO, I am to ANGRILY state, theyre racist against people NOT from the ISLAND ( KEEP YOUR ISLAND. YOU WOULD NOT SURVIVE NYC AND IM NEVER RETURNING THERE. DONT worry, this isnt finished. I will speak to higher ups. Money is Green; shouldnt discriminate on WHO gives it!!!! RASCISTAS* No SE hace asi. I would give 0 stars but we all know thats not probable.(I loved the decor and vibe due to being in the Rock scene probably far longer than the female bartender was born. Disgusting)*

By far the most welcoming and awesomePlace … I discovered this gem back in 2014 … the staff is cool and the live events beat all around from what I’ve seen off the beaten path in Santurce . El swerve around the corner is nice but if your looking for a chill spot this is it . 💗

Check it out, if you like live shows, good beers at a reasonable price, and a different ambient then this bar should definately be your next outing

I love karaoke in general, but at this place even more so! The variety of music chosen each night is unique and the songs are often from my favorite genres. Alternative, rock and roll, gothic, 80’s, 90’s, rockabilly, folk, Puerto Rican salsa, and more.The only thing keeping me from offering 5 stars is my regret that there were no organic drink options. On the other hand, the drinks were fairly cheap, the decorations are fun to check out, and I always meet fascinating people! :)

Best caramel corn in town. Curated, high-end decor. Cash only. "They play white music." Go to the food across the street and get something to put her hot sauce on. Our ABNB was right around the corner and we will be back.

Its a dive bar in all the sense of the word. But it has its charm and a nice ambience. Popular with local hipsters, artists and alternative crowd. They present events almost weekly with local and international alternative artists. Beers are cold with few variety, mixed drinks are not great...

Different/ grunge / hole in the wall. Unique atmosphere is complemented by extremely helpful and friendly unfortunately points deducted for a bit of a hipster vibe which the tracks from the original purpose of it being a bar for locals

Locals would rather play bubble trouble than any other game. What a shame. This place is the bomb. Do you get it?

If youre not looking to go for fancy clubs and more of a chill, student ans random hangout. This is your place. They have many couches. They have. Tekken arcade machine. They do karaoke and lots of comfortable spots for you if you just want to sit with your squad and drink and talk.
