Triana Restaurant

Did you know Triana restaurant was once an american bank? 

Around the 1910’s the American Colonial Bank of Puerto Rico was located in the capital city of San Juan, after Spain gave the island to United States. It was functioning until after the WWII, and it went to bankruptcy. Later on, it was converted to the Ponce’s Bank, but it had to be closed because the city was too far from the city’s bank. Then it was purchased by the Banco Popular bank, but then again had to be closed because there was another bank from the same profiteers next door. After the banks failed, the building spot was purchased by jewelers to make a store. Then it was a spanish restaurant with a 500 years of fame in Spain, but did not have the same luck in Puerto Rico. 

Now it is a spanish tapas restaurant for the enjoyment of all... and best of all, the boult is open for the public. The owners have recreated a salon place where you can reserve and have a nice tapas meal with a side of Sevillana classes. The building was remodeled  in the inside to have a bar boult, a caba, and a dance floor. 

On the upper level there is another bar with a full recreated atmosphere of a terrace in Spain. Every night they delight the customers with live music and Sevillana Dancers. They also have a second floor made a studio to give salsa, flamenco and sevillana classes. They also have an itinerary for every week where they give free classes and have recognized artists playing. 

If you want to have a unique experience and a really good time, go to Triana’s.
