New ‘Bear’ bar with tapas near Ocean Park on the beach side of the highway. Take Calle Loiza (hipster central) past Walgreens, McDonalds until you see the Santa Teresita Church on the left. Calle Degatau is across from the church – and look for the blue building with sign. Only parking is on the street – which can be difficult in that neighborhood – so Uber may be a great choice. Open Wednesday – Sunday from 6pm – 2am.  Great new addition since most bars don’t open til late – so Bear Tavern joins Tia Maria and Oasis as options for evening and early night cruising or hanging out.

Across the highway from Condado near Metro Theater & Museum of Contemporary Art. These are on Calle Condado (mislabeled Avenida Condado on the street sign) which is one block to the right if you are facing the Museum of Contemporary Art. During the day – the area has museums, theaters and shopping.  It is only at night that it becomes a gay hotspot! The street has abandoned buildings and looks very seedy – but is generally safe.  If someone approaches you just say ‘No Thanks’ and move on, just like you would in NYC. There are also a few straight bars on the block, so be careful and don’t assume Read more...

This is the fastest growing gay neighborhood from the Fine Arts Center to Hotel San Jorge. Locals know it as ‘Stop 22’ to ‘Stop 25’ and we like to call it San Juan’s ‘Rainbow Village’ due to the hundreds of ‘rainbow eucalyptus trees’ that line this section of Ponce de Leon Avenue. Check out the Museum of Art, Ciudadela Condo Complex, Food Truck Court and lots of galleries, dance schools, hip restaurants and shops. If you’re early for the bars – stop by the new Late 23 Food Truck Court just across from the Ciudadela Condo Complex for 15 trucks with everything from Asian to Puerto Rican Street Food.

Although Condado used to be the center of all gay nightlife, over-gentrification has left the traditional tourist strip with only one remaining gay bar. But don’t worry – its a short walk under the highway to the Santurce Arts District where all the action continues just a 10 minute walk from Condado hotels. Lots of gay guys and gals live in Condado – so cruise along Ashford Avenue any time of day or night! Read more...

Although not specifically gay – there are lots of gay guys and gals every day. Enter the beach anywhere from Parque del Indio at the end of Ashford Avenue where it changes name to McLeary Street. Take any side street all the way to the large Barbosa Park and Ultimo Trolly Beach at the end of McLeary Street. There are no lifeguards or public restrooms.  Visit nearby Kasalta Bakery for a snack if you need a clean rest room. After the beach, head two blocks away from the beach and explore funky, bohemian Calle Loiza for a drink, snack or dinner at one of the dozens of restaurants along the Read more...

Check out the new and larger layout for one of the most popular clubs in San Juan! Late night strippers and dance every night. Find the stainless steel door (usually with a doorman) and then go downstairs. There is a straight bar just next door at street level, so don’t get confused.  Hot bartenders, strippers, loud music, dance floor in the front. Go upstairs at the back and then downstairs to find the darker, less noisy ‘hang-out’ area. Read more...
