Condado Inn
The Downstairs Bar
6 Condado Ave, Condado. 787-724-7145.
The Downstairs Bar, better known as Matty's (after one of the owners)
is mainly frequented by the local stateside residents and gay visitors
who come back year after year. The crowd is older as most are retirees.
It is a freindly place which occasionally will allow hustlers. It
is part of the Condado Inn and has a limited number of hotel rooms
with a modest rental price. Every afternoon from noon till six they
have a "happy hour".
