Twilight slides down the blue walls of Old San Juan and the cobblestones cool underfoot. Hosts gather a diverse group—solo travelers, couples, bachelor(ette) parties—and lead them through three neighborhood bars, each framed by brightly painted Spanish-colonial facades and the Atlantic’s salt-scented breeze daring you to stay out later.
