Bananas Beach Bar & Grill
Tropical drinks, seafood, and a rooftop sunset perch—Bananas brings classic beach-bar fun to Esperanza’s Malecón, with casual dining and Caribbean views.
At Bananas, the hardest decision might be whether to order another round or head upstairs for the sunset. Sitting along Esperanza’s Malecón, this colorful beach bar and grill puts Caribbean views, tropical drinks, and a satisfying meal within easy reach of your beach-day plans.
Start with coconut-crusted mahi bites or a plate of tostones to share, then follow your appetite toward seafood, burgers, salads, or Puerto Rican favorites. There’s room for a quick lunch and plenty of temptation to turn it into a longer visit.
The drinks lean happily into vacation mode. A piña colada, rum punch, or frozen banana margarita feels right at home beside the sea. For a change of perspective, the rooftop Sunset Bar offers an elevated perch to watch the light shift across the water.
Bring the family for lunch, meet friends after a swim, or make an evening of dinner and drinks. Between the waterfront people-watching and the view beyond the Malecón, Bananas gives you plenty to enjoy between bites.
