El purgatorio San Juan Reviews
Buen ambiente
Definitely a bear bar scene, much like an Eagle. good drink prices. This is a late night place though, I came shortly after opening and there weren't many people inside. But I'm sure it's great late night. Smaller bar, dark, and great music.
Great drinks, good prices, bears, what more can you ask? Definitely a must visit. FYI this is the only bear bar on the island 👌🏻 loved it
Best in town. Drinks were inexpensive and strong. Nice, friendly bartenders, fun crowds! Music was awesome! Definitely recommended.
Very very local! If that’s what you going for, this is the place. You won’t need to spend much. Not a big place. If you feel like socializing with residents, you need to go here. And this is the inly gay bar open in this particular spot or alley.
Love the bears!!! Amazing music, fair priced drinks and great people…
Friendly community bar. Drinks are cheap. Caters to a gay bear crowd. So much fun.
Very fun! Beers only $3. Great local spot.
Gay Bears Bay. The best in town
Pasarla bien rico con amistades sitio espectacular para ambiente de comunidad LGBT buen servicio.
EXTRAORDINARIO LUGAR, PARA PASARLA "BIEN". CORDIALIDAD Y RESPETO.
Un espacio local con buena música. De seguro volveré para hacer un pre despacho. Lleven cash
Buena música en vivo, buen ambiente...

Small but decent bar to have a few drinks to start the night. The drag show was pretty good and funny.

Advertised as a bear bar. Not very big space but had a good time. There’s also a dark room

Small bar. Music was way too loud. I had to scream at the bartender for him to heae my drink order. Speaking of drink orders, it's bad form to make drinks out of the sight of the customer. Having been roofied by a bartender at a gay bar 20 years ago, it's not something I tolerate.
