Stop 18 - Late Night Club Zone

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 everyone is gay – use your ‘gaydar’ and be respectful.  If taking a taxi or Uber – just tell them ‘Stop 18’ and then go one block to the bars.

Note: ‘Stops’ or ‘Paradas’ are how locals estimate location along Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Arts District.  This is a remnant from the old trolley system which hasn’t run since the 1940’s. There are no signs with the numbers (even at the bus stops) but all locals and taxi drivers will understand the general location from the ‘stop’ or ‘parada’ number.
