11 Best Drinking Establishments of Cabo Rojo

Enjoy a cold Medalla while you listen to live music, DJ, or karaoke. Relax Bob transforms from relaxed comfortable family restaurant during the day to bustling nightclub at night. As with most places in Puerto Rico, Relax Bob has both indoor and outdoor seating. Opens at 4:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday.

Sit outside and enjoy a cosmopolitan while you take in the beauty of the Cabo Rojo Plaza. Salvatore has an incredible bartender who is always creating stunning new drinks. In fact, “Fire In the Sky” is not just a drink, it’s an event you must experience. Venture inside for a very comfortable seat at the bar, or grab a table and maybe a bite or two. The rum-glazed chicken wings are addictive and will bring you back for more. The atmosphere of Salvatore is part sports bar, part local hangout and part elegant dining, and it all blends well. Salvatore is closed Monday and Tuesday, open Wednesday–Saturday 6 p.m.–2 a.m. and Sunday 4 p.m.–10 p.m.

During your cruise down 307, pull off at D’Black Bar and Grill for a beer that is muy frio (very cold) and maybe accompany it with a pickled egg. Snooze out in the hammock and take a load off for a while. D’Black Bar and Grill is another great place for a burger—try the one-pound “Country Burger” that is stuffed with mozzarella and cream cheese. Better yet, share it with a friend, but add a plate of their French fries loaded with ground beef or chicken and more cheese. You may need that hammock for a while after this delicious treat. D’Black Bar and Grill is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. until midnight Sunday–Thursday and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

This family-owned and run bar and restaurant is a new addition to Cabo Rojo on the corner of 308 and 103. The bar and restaurant have been beautifully remodeled by the new owners and is such a comfortable place to visit. Sit outside and watch as people come and go. You will see vintage cars, tricked out Jeeps, souped-up bicycles and even people on horseback. The food is outstanding, and the burgers are just incredible (try the nachos burger, a burger with pepperjack cheese and a side of chicken nachos). The original Kílátá is in the mountains with a peaceful view of Mayagüez and the valley below, so the Hungarian word Kilata, for scenic view, is very fitting. Hours are Monday–Wednesday 10a.m.–7 p.m., Thursday–Saturday 10 a.m.–10 p.m., closed Sundays.
