Sa'min Bar and Community Space

Part cocktail bar, part community space, Sa'min in San Juan is the sort of place that hosts a small event one night and is just a bar the next. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 6PM. The room is small and warm and people actually talk to each other.

Cocktails are made properly, so give the bartender a minute. Ask what they're pouring that week. There's food to pick at, and the music stays low enough to hear across the table.

Creative types, people in their late twenties and thirties, regulars who know the staff. Friday and Saturday run to 2AM and get fuller.
