La Respuesta

Good time! Very strong drinks for a good price. Best place I’ve ever been on a Monday night. Pay the extra $ 5 to skip the line.

We went here on a Monday for hip hop night. Go around midnight for a night of dancing. The DJ played reggae, hip hop, and r&b. It was a nice mix of locals and tourists there. Everyone was there to have a good time and it was nothing but positive vibes. People were dancing in the middle of circles and showing off their latest dance moves, that was pretty interesting. It was $ 10 to get in and $ 15 to cut the line.
I would recommend taking a cab there because the parking situation didn’t seem like the greatest. The cabs are lined up outside towards the end of the night, so it’s really easy to get a cab once you leave.

I had a blast at La Repuesta!
In vacation in PR I had to find a place on Monday for partying. Local people recomanded me this place. Mainly Reggae/​Dancehall and Hip Hop (+RnB). ($ 7 for cover)
This place is unavoidable if you want to experiment San Juan night life!
Before 12:30am, the place is quite empty. But no worry, by 12:30, the party starts. Even though you are shy, you can enjoy yourself watching all the awesome and very good local dancers.
There are a lot of tourists, but it is also a nice place to meet and dance with locals.

Nice place to be at on a Monday night. It got crowed around 12. They play hip hop, land reggae. Crowd is nice but the drinks are somewhat pricey. Long Island ice tea was $ 10 granted they did make it right. I will return in the future.

My girlfriends and I went to Puerto Rico and wanted to check out the local spots. We went to La Respuesta on a Monday and definitely had a good time. Most of the locals kept to themselves but a couple of them talked to us and were friendly. La Respuesta played hip-​hop and bachata. It was not too packed which was great, we had room to dance. It was casual attire. The only thing I didn’t like, it got so hot inside. But I would definitely go back again!

Went and stood in line for 40 mins because we heard «rave» reviews about this place. Got to the front just to find out they were going to charge us $ 10 while the locals were being charged $ 5, I guess they didn’t realize I acually speak Spanish.
Needless to say we left. Waste of time and effort. Never again.

Monday night! Mostly locals, a few tourists but amazing music, Mostly hip hop. Could not believe how fun it was on a Monday. Amazing dancers and diverse crowd.

went last week on a monday night and had an amazing time. if you’re gonna drive, arrive a little earlier than 11;30 to find decent street parking. there are a lot of locals that go but a good number of tourists were there as well. the drinks were cheap and hella strong. wowsa. i read the reviews about how difficult it is to receive drinks from the bartender, but i would beg to differ. the music was popping. the DJ played a mix of hip hop, old school rap, some spanish reggaeton (briefly). i remember being on the left side stage dancing to «chicken noodle soup. chicken noodle soup». hahaha, it was great. sporadically, there would be dance battles that popped up in the middle of the dance floor which were totally fun to watch. puerto ricans know how to have fun! the dress code is pretty casual. i wore ripped jeans w/​tank top w/​birkenstocks (soo fancy, i know) & did not feel out of place at all! this place is a must-​go when in san juan!
it’s located in santurce which was literally like 10 minutes away from where we stayed (isla verde). la respesuta had a cover of $ 7 that particular night… hmm what else? the bathroom décor was banging. bob marley posters everywhere. anyway, stop reading my review & just go check it out for yourself! get drunk and dance your butt off like no one’s watching.

La Respuesta:
I’ll keep my review short; if you want to dance on a Monday in Condado, San Juan, and you’re 21+, head over to La Respuesta!
Pros:
–Great music (everything from oldies like «Murder She Wrote» to Top 40 hits like «Hot N*gga» were played)
–Strong Drinks
–Lively crowd (but the crowd was composed of young tourists in their early 20’s with a couple of older locals; balanced ratio male to female)
–Large venue with a large dance floor
Cons:
–Long Line
–Price. We had to pay $ 10 to get in the club. The other option was V.I.P. for $ 15. Keep in mind, the only perks of V.I.P. is that you get to hop the (very) long line. There are only like 3 or 4 seats available in the V.I.P. section so if you’re willing to wait 30 minutes to get in, I would recommend doing so.
–Bartender Service was sub par. I had to wait 10 minutes to get my drink. And after dancing for like 2 hours I asked a bartender for a cup of water. He told me they don’t give out water in cups; instead I had to buy a $ 2 bottle of water from behind the bar.
Cons aside, visit this place!

This shit was a waste of time cause not only its smell like a gym locker the bartenders are sooo rude not only you spend 10mns to 25mns waiting to get a drink even though your literally standing in front of them waving and hollering trying to get their attention and when you finally get it… then it became finding a good spot to dance then the dj was whack playing nothing but oldies so the crowd was mainly just standing around looking like wtf is this guy playing can’t you see that the crowd is not moving. .but heck we mangled a little then went home

Monday night best party I’ve been to in a loooong time-​NYC– included. Hip-​hop: all regions, old salsa, just everything DOPE! you WILL dance and sweat and make friends and have a ball. There’s a cover but pay it whatever it is-​totally worth it. Trying to get a drink is almost impossible and $$ so get stamped-​go down the block to the corner store with the graffiti mural and get your $ 4 mixed thang on there. and play some pool with the kids

This wasn’t my first time experience nightlife in Puerto Rico, but let me say it was the best night ever!!! If you’re a hip-​hop head this is the place to go!!! Only down fall I’d say is they didn’t have bottle service. I know where to go the next time I come back!

If you’re in Puerto Rico on a Monday night and you love to cut a rug stop at thos club. I went this Monday for my birthday and it was off the chain. This club is where all the locals come to party and its live. The bartenders are good they make strong drinks for cheap. The dj plays all kind of music from 90s to Bay Area artist like Sage the Gemini. Tjere were also live music, ladies were doing covers to songs the DJ was playing. Everyone was really upbeat and looking to have a good time. The DJ announced it was my birthday and people were fighting to buy me a drink.
The club has some cool art on the walls and the bathroom is so sweet. The environment was really laid back and I felt really comfortable. I will always try to make my vacation land on a Monday so I can party here!

We arrived to La Respuesta last Monday since this was the only club everyone was recommending us to go to and pretty much the only option on a Monday night.
We knew the area wasn’t the best but the entrance was kinda scary as it’s located in a narrow street with graffiti covered walls.
When we arrived before 11pm, they were still setting up and the place was empty. They kept saying that soon enough the place was gonna get packed. So we paid the $ 10 cover and went in and sat.
The venue is pretty interesting with graffiti, and art pieces on the walls. They had craft beers at the bar for $ 5. The DJ was in the front stage and playing an old Chinese movie that was projected on the wall, weird.
We waited until midnight and the place did start getting filled with tourists and locals but aside from 2 breakdancers in the middle, everyone was just standing and staring. For a whole hour, the music was hard core hip hop, with the same rythm and no variety.
I’d say go if you want a place to chill and drink but not if you want to dance.

One of the hotel staff at Condado Plaza Hilton suggested we make our way to La Respuesta on a Monday night, and we had SO much fun! It’s a spot for locals, so don’t expect to see lots of tourists. The atmosphere in here is crazy — the drinks are cheap, the cover is $ 5, and there’s TONS of dancing. Like standing in a circle and watching people perform kind of dancing. The music is mostly hip-​hop, R&B, and reggae. I would absolutely recommend stopping through here on a Monday night with friends.

The best place to go on a Monday night! Me and a friend got the recommendation from a waiter in our hotel casino and were definitely not disappointed. We arrived around midnight and paid a $ 5 cover. Drinks are also $ 5. The DJ spins hip-​hop, reggae and R&B all night. The crowd is very lively often forming circles around breakers dancers for old school hip-​hop songs. We left after 3 am and the party was still going on. Easily accessible by cab/​taxi going there and headed back. Also, the dress code is casual. Definitely head out to this spot if you have the chance and want to dance!

Great music! They have two DJs, old school /​hip hop /​reggae, pretty awesome! $ 8 cover, average of $ 5 drinks and very cool décor. The place is a hole in the wall… Its in the middle of nowhere but don’t worry, its a different world once you get in. There is no dress code but most people were wearing urban ware. We attended on a Monday and place started to get crowded around 1am. You must check this place when in PR!

I came here for hip hop night on a Monday and it was awesome. Excellent recommendation from a dude at P’al Cielo.

One of the locals recommended this spot to us on a Monday night — memorial day actually. Apparently it’s normally a happening spot on Mondays. We got here a little early for PR standards — 11:30p. The crowd really didn’t start rolling in until half past midnight. Definitely wish I had known that.
Great music — mostly hip hop. Fun atmosphere and people. A fairly diverse group I think — mostly locals and a few tourists like ourselves. We met only locals though. Decent drinks. A ton of energy! I feel like I had a pretty good taste of PR nightlife here.
Also, there was an $ 8 cover. Best $ 8 cover I’ve ever spent! I have to add that I hate paying cover. I hate clubs that charge cover — no matter how much it is — although it doesn’t really ever stop me from going somewhere. It’s just a thing of mine. Anyway, this place made up for it in cheap drinks, hot men, and great music.
Oh yeah and the art exhibits were cool.

Bartenders are your best friend… not only because they serve delicious drinks but also because they always know the hot spots. Based on the recommendation of a bartender, my friends and I went here on hip-​hop night and we didn’t stop dancing once. I think calling it hip-​hop night is very limiting since the DJ was awesome and played everything from old-​school hip-​hop and R&B to reggae, reggaeton, Samba and Afro-​Caribbean music. The crowd was lively and the place was full of energy. We left at 4am and the party was still going strong so I have no idea what time this place actually closes.
This spot isn’t located where tourists usually go so it might look a bit sketchy, but trust me it wasn’t dangerous at all. The club is located on a side street that looks almost like an alley (but it’s not). We had the number of a taxi on hand just in case but when we left we found a taxi easily.
Definitely worth checking out.
