Located in La Placita de Santurce, where there is a local scene with bars and music around a plaza. Jose Enrqique is one of the best restaurants in the San Juan area. They serve puertorican cuisine with a twist. It is an experience. They have great drinks too. It is usually full on Thursdays through Sunday. They do not take reservations, but you can go on Tuesday and, if not, go on any day and, if you don.t get in, go to Santaella or Mai Pen Rai, which you can walk to from Jose Enrique.

Keep walking East on Ashford Avenue, which turns into McLeary Avenue, and you will see it to the right. Its about a 15 minute walk. EVERYTHING on the menu is good. Lots of good appetizers, yummy PIZZAS, SALADS, beers, drinks, wines, AND PASTA. Love the SANGRIA. Solid quality and service. One of my fave's ever. There is also one in Old San Juan (if you go, sit on the second floor).

The biggest selection of beers that you will find in San Juan with yuuuummy bar food. Try the beer dipped chicken fingers, with pesto fries, or their yummy hamburgers. There is an interior patio for hanging out and smoking. One of my favorite hangouts.

La Terraza is a beautiful boutique hotel, which has a bar in its roof top with a 360 view of Old San Juan and beyond. It is plainly a breathtaking view. When you get there, just ring the doorbell, and tell the front desk that you want to have a drink on the roof top and they will show you the way to the elevator. A slow elevator ride will take you to a little piece of Old San Juan heaven!
