The Office Traditional Irish Pub

Gran variedad de cervezas artesanales. Siempre frías y a buen precio. Ambiente tranquilo; perfecto para bajar revoluciones luego del trabajo con buena música y excelente atención. Es uno de esos lugares que te conocen y al verte llegar van sacando tu beer favorita de la nevera.

This is an excellent choice if you want to sip your beer in a laidback atmosphere. It is set up as a typical Irish pub (its owner is Irish, by the way). It does not have draft beers but the bottled selection is very good. Even though its way off the beaten path I certainly enjoy my time here.

Excellent craft beer, good service, and good for conversation and having a nice time. Food choices could be better.

Este lugar abre todos los días a las 5pm, la atención es excelente y el ambiente es muy agradable. Cuenta con todo tipo de cervezas del mundo, considero que vale la pena vivir la experiencia.

An authentic traditional irish pub, that’s also a nice place to lay back, and chat with friends over a great selection of craft beers.

Really good place to try a new beer. Their beer menu is endless and well organized and their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Recommend it 10 out of 10 times.

Very nice place. Chill people, great beers and awesome food. I really like the theme going on there, would definitely go there again.

Great overall!

Mi lugar preferido para cuando quiero pasar una noche tranquila con mi novio o con amigos. Tranquilo, pero no aburrido, el lugar esta pensado para que pases un rato agradable. Aquí si se puede tener una conversación con una buena cerveza en la mano.

Unfortunately, I expected something better. The attraction behind the name is the variety of craft beers sold in the establishment. Other than that, the location is not attractive to go hang out. If you want a taste of craft beer in PR, give the place a visit and judge for yourself. The beer was very good.

When I saw an ad for The Office in a local community newspaper, I was a little skeptical… a traditional Irish pub in Trujillo Alto? Boy, was I in for a great surprise. Fantastic beer selection and a relaxed atmosphere with a crowd of mainly professionals. The owner is an Irishman who works behind the bar, welcomes newcomers personally and knows his regulars, like a true publican. The one improvement I’d like to see is with the appetizers menu… there’s only a couple of options. This is one of my fave places!

The only reason to visit this place is if you want to drink beer. Don’t even think about eating anything in this place. Given the fact there are not many options in Trujillo Alto, it is indeed an alternative for a Happy Hour.

If you want to get together with a group of friends and have a couple of non-​conventional beers while you talk about that crazy thing that happened at work or plan the revolutionary movement with your fellow comrades, this is the place for you. If you are a group of girls that want to have go dance or sing some karaōke, don’t turn left at that pitch black entrance to a nearly empty stripmall.
The Office is a relaxed little nook in a eerily empty strip mall just off of Encantada in Trujillo Alto. The place is very low key with quiet bar music, and very authentic irish pub décor (the bar owner Joe is a true irishman so you better believe that he knows how an irish bar is supposed to look!) The wide selection of artisan and international beers are the highlight of this bar and will be the main reason for a repeat visit. If you want to taste IPAs from the USA, lagers from Germany, Ales from the UK or maybe just the local beer this is the place to go!
If beer isn’t your thing, a full bar is available as well but don’t expect to find any fancy house drinks because The Office is strictly a beer bar. A few tasty bar appetizers such as mozzarella sticks, wings, and other fried treats round out the food offerings and will do a good job in keepings you buzz at just the right level without having to drop the mug.
If I was rating the Office on just its selection of beers, it would get 5 stars hands down (there are very few places in San Juan that offers such a well rounded selection) Unfortunately, there are some glaring issues that kept this place from getting that high of a score. The pub is located at this borderline abandoned stripmall which is damn near impossible to find without some military grade GPS. This is thanks to the its inability to be seen from the main road as well as the severe lack of lighting near the entrance of the strip mall that houses this place. The fact that there no other bars, pubs or anything neat this place means you will have to make dedicated visits to The Office in the middle of nowhere. The area it’s located in just feels really sketchy, which is never a good thing.
If you’ve been going to Shannan’s Irish pub for the majority of your college career and think that it will be similar because they are both irish pubs, you could not be more wrong. This place is STRICTLY for beer and conversation. There is no music to dance to and it is usually so low that it really just disappears into the background. This place does what it was designed to do and does it well.
This style of pub is very hard to find in Puerto Rico but then again is caters to a pretty niche crowd. Give it a go if you are a beer lover, if not, I would give this a pass.

I discovered this jewel early this year. It became my favorite pub on the spot.
The Office is truly a traditional Irish pub. Their beer selection is the best in the island, the ambiance is chill and homely, Tom and Joe are the best.
You simply have to drop by and check it out, it will totally be worth it.
