Visiting San Juan’s gay nightlife

My first night out in San Juan certainly wasn’t what I was expecting. I’d only arrived in Puerto Rico a few hours before—just enough moment to dip my feet into the Caribbean and stroll barefoot on the beach.

Back at my gay-owned guesthouse, I got some recommendations for a bedtime out. First interrupt was Calle Loiza—a long stretch of road in the Ocean Park neighborhood of San Juan. Multiple people had described the area to me as a “hipster neighborhood,” so I was excited to explore.

Along Calle Loiza, I found the representative trappings of any American travel destination. But, this is Puerto Rico, so things were also a bit… alternative. In a fine way! Fast-food restaurants, a bar with salsa dancing, a street food market. Plenty of Puerto Rican restaurants with all of the local specialties. There were several international cuisines on present, too.
