  • Las Piedras definitely has a niche as the after party venue of choice. This would though be limiting its appeal since although yes it does have great musicians (last week Francis del Rio) who start to play at 3am and it is close to Don Cangrejo the airy space and nice interior décor would seem to have a wider market as well.

    Drinks are reasonably priced and the service is good. What’s not too like?

    El Mesón de la Flota

    El Mesón de la Flota  LH 4

    The Meson de la Flota is the quintessential tavern. Relatively dark inside and with a great flamenco band, which is basically headquartered here, this makes for a good intimate atmosphere. You do need …
