Regional honoree for Best International Hotel Bar at the 2026 Spirited Awards.
173° is the cocktail bar at Hotel Iberia on Avenida Wilson in Condado, and it sums itself up as cocktails, fine spirits and outstanding bites. Drinks it featured recently include Sofrito, built on recao-infused ultrasonic vodka with ají dulce soda and olive bitters, and Guanábana, which brings together soju, baijiu, guanábana and kefir. Owned by mixologist Edwin Borrero, the bar marked its fifth anniversary in 2025 with a menu of 12 cocktails drawn from the characters and catchphrases of the Puerto Rican comic strip Pepito, created with its authors Harold Jessurun and Aníbal Quiñones.
