La Factoría (bar)

La Factoría is a renowned cocktail bar located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Often cited as one of the best bars in the world, La Factoría is not a single bar, but rather a collection of interconnected bars and rooms hidden behind an unmarked facade.

The entrance is unassuming, resembling a non-descript warehouse or factory (hence the name, which translates to "The Factory"). Upon entering, patrons discover a series of distinct spaces, each with its own unique atmosphere, decor, and drink menu. These connected bars may feature live music, DJs, or a more relaxed lounge setting.

The individual bars within La Factoría often specialize in different types of cocktails and spirits. Rum, a staple of Puerto Rican culture, features prominently, but other liquors and expertly crafted cocktails are also available. The bar has gained a reputation for its innovative mixology and use of fresh, local ingredients.

Because of its hidden nature and diverse environments, La Factoría offers a unique and adventurous bar-hopping experience within a single venue. It is a popular destination for both tourists and locals seeking high-quality cocktails and a vibrant atmosphere in the heart of Old San Juan.
