The 34 best places to party in Bilbao

Great venue. Quite a small place. We went to the excellent Im-Pulse Pink Floyd Tribute concert, 8th June 24. Price of drinks, by Bilbao standards, was quite high. Captive audience. They did not serve wine. Only bottled beer and soft drinks.

One of the best concert halls in Bilbao, perfect for a live show. Nice menu during the day for lunch and a coffee, a cultural Basque association is backing this place. Also a milestone in the nightlife route. Sometimes you have to pay an entrance fees (Saturday nights if I'm not mistaken) but there's plenty of space inside. Music style varies a lot (Basque, rock and heavy and sometimes more popular folk and dance music) so you need to be open for different settings. All in all it's a must-go in Bilbao for either music, lunch or a drink.

Cool venue im Bilbao for a concert!

We went 2 times to this spot. Concert hall: 5 stars!! Great, quaint, cozy place to watch live music. Friendly bar staff. Lunch spot: not so impressed. Our appetizer was outstanding. The main meal, eh...actually the worst I had whilst traveling for a month in Spain. That's not to say it wasnt edible...just there are MUCH better places to eat at.

Saw a great reggae gig here and the crowd were amazing!

Best club I’ve been to in Bilbao :) Good mix of basque and international music! Unfortunately there’s broken glass everywhere on the floor.

Worst club I’ve ever been Music sucked 1st Half of the night was bad, filled with rock music which you couldn’t even dance. The 2nd half was even worse Drinks were nice

Original thought it’s a total tourist trap similar to Cafe de Flore in Paris, but still went for it just because of the interior. We were amazingly surprised by the service and food quality. We had the weekend special menu and didn’t need to wait for a table at all, the restaurant started getting busier from 2pm on, so if you want to skip the queue, come early. We enjoyed the whole experience very much. There are two halls of the restaurant, we ate at the restaurant side with proper seating, if you are up for bites, the other hall offers pintxos and assume the price is even more friendly. Same good vibe and admirable interior. It is located beside a very cute park as well. Highly recommend.

Ordered their set lunch. Overall food was really good. The ribs was the highlight and carrot cake was superb. The menu comes with free drinks including alcohol. A previous post from another patron mention it was free flow but it actually wasn't. They started us with a bottle of wine then after we are done, we ask for another 2 glass each and was charged for it (refer to the menu). Best ask the waiter in advance how their drinks works. Overall super good value for money considering the portion and taste

The ambiance of this place is what I did it for. Very nicely done, Basque style And I mint thee with french toast and ice cream. Many ppl were ordering the lamb skewers with bread

👍🏽👍🏽 Practically perfect in every way. The dining room is stunning, pre fixe lunch may be the best deal in Spain (€21.50 for 3 LARGE courses + unlimited drinks, including 🍷wine or 🍺beer), and the service is attentive (+ speedy if you need it to be). The front room is standing only to order small bites or drinks (it’s crowded at lunch time). Go to the dining room for the pre fixe menu. Good for singles or groups up to six without reservation for lunch (you may have to wait, but it’s well worth it!) ✅🍆Vegetarian options on pre fixe too. ✅♿️ fully wheelchair accessible entrance, dining, and bathroom. Good lighting. Not too loud. 🍅 🐟 🍰 Gazpacho was delish, as was the fish & the pork knuckle (hearty portions too!), but the highlight was dessert. The arroz con leche was the smoothest I’ve ever tasted (as we live in Mexico, birthplace of the rice pudding!) and the red berry tart was pillowy marscapone cheese topped with fresh jam—what’s not to love! I want to return to try the bruled pineapple carpaccio 🍍😋. The pre fixe menu includes the drink of your choice and that drink is unlimited (I don’t believe you can switch drinks, so choose wisely). 🍷 Rioja wine was inoffensive and paired well with the meal — waiter left me the entire bottle and I had 3 glasses, all included in the €21.50 pre fixe lunch. My wife got the beer, which was superb—so refreshing! They also offer a white wine and bottled water. Pro Tip: 🍰For pre fixe lunch menu, desserts are large enough to share and you’ll want to try them all, so if you’re here with a group, order one of each and everyone else can swap dessert for an espresso at the same price ☕️ Note to Management: your staff is superb. Helpful, polite, and speedy. Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽

Café Iruña in Bilbao impresses with its beautiful vintage atmosphere – a place full of history and charm, perfect for a relaxing break while soaking up the city’s character. The pintxos are delicious, freshly prepared, and varied. The absolute highlight: the Pincho Moruno, a tender lamb skewer, perfectly seasoned and grilled – a must-try!

This place is an absolute treat for anyone who loves pinchos. The atmosphere is welcoming. Each pincho is beautifully crafted, with creative flavor combinations that still stay true to Basque traditions.

My partner ate the pintxos here and said it was spectacular. I didn’t have any as they didn’t have any gluten free options. Coffee was amazing though and the interior is super beautiful.

A bit of a disappointment as all 3 of the pintxos I had were pretty unremarkable. The fried baby squid was the best but, still, nothing special. The broiled bacalao pintxos was creamy and pretty tasteless. Service was fine, but there's no inside seating and the place is just not pleasant in general (the terrace does seem nice).

This is a well-known local tapas bar, and you can tell it's very popular — even on Monday afternoon it was quite busy. I ordered two pintxos, but since I was sitting in the outdoor area, I had to order a main dish as well. I chose the grilled prawns with salt and a glass of Txakoli. The food was pretty good, about average for the area, but the prices were a bit higher compared to other tapas bars I've been to.

Good pintxos bar with seating options outside and a few inside. The pintxos were quite good, albeit a little more on the pricy side. Overall a good experience!

Recommended by a local who lives close to this place I decided to try it. If you want to sit in their small patio you have to order from the menu which is mainly full sized meals. I was told that if I wanted Pintxos or drinks I have to order at the bar. I sat down and ordered the set menu. Starter is three Pintxos followed by very well cooked tuna (no fishy smell or taste at all) and Foie gras and to finish a chocolate lava cake for desert. The server was very friendly and helpful.

Good pintxos, they do rely on cream/béchamel quite a bit. When we went it was completely packed , lots of people passing by and bumping into you, which it’s not my favorite way to enjoy a meal and subtracted from the experience a bit. But if you don’t mind that , this will probably be one of your favorite places in Bilbao.

We got the pintxos menu, and extra zamburiña and hueleva prawn portions. Food was ok but nothing was great and none really stood out, food wasn’t as well balanced as we liked.

They offer a variety of pintxos with inventive flavor combinations. I highly recommend the vaca madura con trufa and chipirón gratinado. There is plenty of room for eating inside the restaurant; you can choose to stand at the bar or eat at bistro tables.

There are places that don’t chase trends, because they are the standard. This spot in the plaza? Pure class. No gimmicks, no fusion nonsense. Just time honored elegance: blue tiled walls that feel like they’ve seen a thousand slow afternoons, and pintxos that haven’t changed in years because they don’t need to. You sit outside with a cold beer or a glass of wine, the weight of the day slipping off your shoulders, watching the world move past in no particular hurry. This place isn’t loud about its greatness. It just is. And in a world obsessed with reinvention, that kind of quiet confidence is a beautiful thing.

Happy to have stumbled upon this gem. The pinxos and the atmosphere is filled with authentic charm. The staff made the whole experience unforgettable, they were playful with their regulars and smiling to the travellers. Recommend for a quick bite and authentic Basquan experience

With a local vibe and food that doesn’t look too fancy this is a great place for a quick bite and drink. The prawn and clam pinto didn’t disappoint although it wasn’t anything to write home about. The jamon and mushroom pinto was basic but unpretentiously tasty.

Lived the pinxtos here, absolutely delicious and fresh, order at the bar, and they bring it to the table. Can get busy. Loved the interior. Blue and looks like an institution

Funny story, came here and asked for a flat white (word of advice: don’t do it), and got a glass of wine. Nobody really speaks English here, but pintxos were good, and if you want a coffee ask for a coffee or a coffee with milk. Also really enjoyed their tortilla though not pictured.

Had one fabulous beef check pinxto here and haunted we didn’t get more! Cool vibe, tasty drinks.

A real disappointment, stale bread slices at pintxos, even no olive oil. One of the worst in the town in terms of taste.

Not the place for foreign people if your thinking off it unless you know spanish or Basque even so you will feel left out by crowds off non inviting people drinks are very expensive assuming that your in spain idk if there cheaper for locals I had an alright time maybe it wasn’t the season to go or something as there was barely any foreigners in the city but ye

Spanish clubs … reggaeton music, weird people and not nice staff . But the night was cool

Overrated club with a stupid name. "Back and stage" just sounds clunky in English.

Fun and reasonably priced, bouncers can be annoying sometimes. Best club in bilbao

Good place to spend time with your friends partying, but it has way to improvement

The White Eyes from Taiwan

I would recommend this place for people under 20.

We watched the Women's World cup Rugby final here at one end of its tiny bar whilst others watched a men's S. Africa Vs Argentina rugby match at the other. A tight squeeze but well worth it to be able to watch the women's rugby whilst on holiday in Bilbao so thanks to the bar staff for that. It felt really special and welcoming even if the majority were cheering on the men, they did turn their astonished faces towards the ladies match at their half time. Perhaps they'll be converted. Hubby found the Murphy's great, he hasn't had any in ages.

We stayed around the corner from the pub and used it as our daily cocktail bar. The owner was the bartender and was great host. We enjoy gin and tonic and this was the place to be as they have over 250 gins alone in the 600 different liquors they have. You want a cocktail this is a good place to get one.

Cute lounge with good cocktails. We had the bartender make us something on the spot that was the perfect nightcap.

Very nice cocktail bar. Overwhelmed when football is on, but very welcoming to away fans as well as home supporters. Great place

Nice English pub. There is one person doing everything here. Making cocktail, serving drinking, billing customer etc. Very English feel - so you will feel you are in London or the UK. Not very crowded mostly but the place has a nice vibe. Open till very late is another plus point. You can get here easily by tram. 10 mins from San memes station

Was here for Bilbao v Rangers. Was very accommodating to the visiting support, barman was fantastic 👍🇬🇧

If a bar boasts making over 30 cocktails, wouldn't they have some kind of menu or at least a list? Cocktails are only more recently becoming popular where I live, so I was excited to venture into the Sir Winston Churchill. We went early evening, place was empty except for a few other patrons. We asked for a cocktail menu and the bartender said they didn't have one. I asked if he could recommend something or if he had a favorite. I can speak a bit of Spanish and he was speaking English. I know we are in Basque country but everywhere we had been to this point people were speaking a mixture of English and Spanish and extremely friendly. I had thought about learning a few words in the Basque language, hello, thank you...it seemed like it wasn't necessary. The Lonely Planet guidebook didn't even offer a few bits of Basque translations. So, I don't think that was the issue. My husband is Irish and spoke to the bartender 1st so, it wasn't my American accent that set him off. He then barked, "What do you want? Gin, vodka, whiskey, tequila? And sort of glared at me. Ok, most of me wanted to leave at this point. But, I was determined to get a cocktail. I opted for my usual margarita. It would not have been my first choice in a place advertising cocktails. Yes, a margarita is a favorite of mine but given a choice, I'd certainly try something different. Well, before I get my margarita, it was more off a test of wills. The bartender then asked what kind of tequila and named a few. I wish I had looked to see if they had a few displayed behind him, but I must admit, I was flustered, aggravated, and confused by his attitude. So, I just picked one. The bartender then asks, well how do you want it? A shot? On the rocks? He wasn't being helpful. He was annoyed like I was wasting his time in a almost completely empty bar. But let's back track here. It's a bar boasting cocktails and you think I want a shot? The only reason I'm not giving 1 star is my margarita was yummy. And I'm very picky when it comes to margaritas. Going to a bar called Sir Winston Churchill in the middle of Bilbao would never have been my 1st choice. It wouldn't be even a choice if I was in Benidorm. We went because of the advertising of great cocktails. Instead all we got was a grumpy, cocky, bartender.

Awful place. I asked for a Bollywood song to be played here, they rejected and said it wasn’t within there type to play it. And then stared arguing with me, even though I said I was a client here paying. Insensitive service. Disgusting.

They didn’t let me in me and my friends because we’re from morocco ( racism!!!!)

Regular bar disco with average place and music. The only good thing is the people that goes their.

80's 90's 00's 10's a topeeeee. 0 regeton. TOPE!!

(Translated by Google) An expensive place for what it is. Although it's a decent option if you don't have a ticket to a real club in Bilbao. The drinks are expensive, and the security team's treatment is generally poor, although there are exceptions. I would recommend paying special attention to the door staff, as after certain hours they become quite rude and crass, and as you can see from the negative reviews of the place, they're not pleasant, I can attest to that. In short, it's a place to go out if you don't have anything else; it can save your night, but it can also ruin it. (Original) Lugar caro para lo que es. Aunque es una opción barajable si no tienes entrada para una discoteca de verdad en Bilbao. Las copas son caras y el trato del equipo de seguridad es meramente deficiente en general, hay excepciones. Recomendaría especial atención a los de la puerta ya que a partir de ciertas horas se vuelves bastante groseros y bordes y como se pueden ver en las reseñas negativas del lugar, no son agradables, doy fe de ello. En conclusión es un lugar para salir si no tienes otra cosa, puede salvarte una noche como también puede arruinártela.

(Translated by Google) My friend and I decided to leave the place this Saturday because one of the security guards suddenly came in and suddenly started pulling and kicking people's jackets like crazy. There was a really good atmosphere and we were having a great time and that scene seemed super violent to us. Then when we left, we told him that this was not the way to do things since when we arrived the cloakroom was not open to which he replied that "he did whatever he wanted" and "that he laughed at our faces." I will not go again because of the bad vibes that that bald guy created for us, which will undoubtedly bring them problems in the future. (Original) Mi amiga y yo decidimos irnos del local este sábado porque uno de los seguratas de repente entró y de repente empezó a tirar y a dar patadas las chaquetas de la gente como un loco, había mazo buen ambiente y nos lo estábamos pasando genial y esa escena nos pareció súper violenta. Luego cuando salimos, le dijimos que no eran formas de hacer las cosas ya que cuando llegamos el guardarropas no estaba abierto a lo que él nos contestó que " él hacia lo que le daba la gana" y " que se reía de nuestra cara". No volveré a ir por el mal rollo que nos generó ese calvo que sin duda alguna, les traerá problemas a futuro.

(Translated by Google) The treatment received by the manager and the bouncers was OUTRAGEOUS and DISCRIMINATORY. A group of friends, one of whom was in a wheelchair and who had limited mobility, entered. After paying our entrance fee, they told us where to stand in the club so as not to DISTURB the people moving around, even though the club was less than half full. They then moved us to a corner of the club as if we were plague victims. After expressing our displeasure and trying to talk to them, they invited us to leave. (Original) INDIGNATE y DISCRIMINATORIO el trato recibido por parte de la gerente y los porteros. Hemos entrado un grupo de amigos, uno de ellos con movilidad reducida en silla de ruedas, al que, tras haber pagado nuestra entrada, le han dicho dónde se tenía que colocar en el local para NO MOLESTAR a la gente que por allí se movía, estando el local a menos de la mitad de aforo, desplazándonos a una esquina de la discoteca como si fuésemos apestados. Tras expresarle nuestro malestar e intentar dialogar con ellos nos han invitado a irnos del local.

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is very good, coexistence between older adults and young people with children. Beautiful (Original) El ambiente es muy bueno, convivencia entre adultos mayores y jóvenes con niños. Muy bonito

The Basque cheesecake and “cheese soup” were spectacular, though the rest disappointed. Make sure to visit during lunch or dinner hours, as the kitchen closes during the afternoons. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The third best cheesecake of my life after La Viña in San Sebastián and JonCake in Barcelona. Cheesy, creamy, sweet, with a caramelized sugar top and crumbles on the side. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The “cheese soup” was recommended to me by the manager as their house speciality. It did not disappoint; one of the best pintxos I tasted during one week in Basque Country. ⭐️ I love salty food but the salmon empanada was so salty I couldn’t finish it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The duck empanada was tasty and well balanced, even though the duck was a bit dry. ⭐️ The soft shell crab tempura was also inedible because it was way, way too salty. Disappointing because soft shell crab is something I always order when it’s on a menu. ⭐️⭐️ The calamari sandwich looked better than it tasted.

Great pintxos, a must try when in Bilbao! Located at very historic Plaza Nueva. Their homestyle burger was one of the best we had!

Had lunchtime pinxtos here while sitting on the lovely terrace. Great selection and all the ones we tried were delicious. My favourite was the jamon, cheese, potato and egg, a little work of art! Nice selection of wines, I tried the godello and was a great choice. We also had the basque cheesecake, it was fantastic.

Best pintxos bar we’ve been to in Bilbao our 3 days here. The razor clams were absolutely delightful, the pastry with prawn filling pintxos was excellent, so was the scallop. Highly recommend coming here for your next pintxos crawl in Bilbao.

Very nice establishment. Good food and drink at reasonable prices. Mainly ordered pintxos and tapas. Nice staff, not rushed. We had a table inside, didn’t realize there was outside seating. Worth a visit either way.

This place is a synonym for happiness. Very nice and friendly service! Perfect food! Good wine! I’m glad that I came back. And I was sad that it was closed on Sunday. The top for me: cheese soup! Try it and enjoy!

Second review: Wow! We went back in the evening, curious to see, if there were different pintxos. And boy, oh boy, we were not disappointed! The goat cheese one, the ham and mushroom one and the cheeseburger halves were amazing! Super friendly service as well. 5/5! First review: Good pintxos that are not served at 10am. You should get here a little later. One pincho was spectacular, one good and one alright. 4/5

A wide variety of pintxos to choose from. The ones we tried were very tasty. We were here two times: lunchtime and evening. The vibe was great! The staff are friendly, attentive and quick service. A must visit when you’re in Bilbao.

The pintxos looked appealing, but since we were seated at a table, we had to order from the menu instead. My tuna was good, but my husband’s cod had an unpleasant, almost jelly-like texture. Overall, the food was fine but not particularly tasty. The wine, however, was excellent.

Visited La Olla through a cruise excursion. Everything was amazing! Was told we were getting a snack, it was so much food, we couldn't eat everything. But made sure to taste it all. Delicious. The tuna was a crowd favorite. I also enjoyed the pork belly and mushroom pinchos. Will definitely be back to visit. Thank you

I visited with three friends and really liked the atmosphere here. It wasn't too busy, and we sat at the bar. The staff were friendly, chatty and helpful. Our tour guide earlier in the day told us that the ceramic dishes on the bar in La Olla relate to what the pintxos are, and I ordered the tuna with avocado which the guide had recommended - it was delicious!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience at La Olla in Plaza Nueva! If you’re in Bilbao, La Olla is an absolute must! The food is delicious — authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented — but what truly made our experience unforgettable was Ramón Muñoz. His service was beyond exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Ramón made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He’s the kind of person who turns a good dinner into a memorable experience. Ask for Ramón when you go — he’s simply the best! We can’t wait to come back. Thank you, Ramón, for making our visit to Bilbao so special!

We tried the top-recommended pintxos here the miniburger, the beef steak, and the four-cheese and every single one was incredible. Each dish was packed with flavor and felt really special, definitely worth trying. If you’re looking for a spot in Bilbao where the recommended pintxos truly live up to the hype, this is it.

Lovely relaxed place with freshly cooked hot pintxos. We had the Pork with Plum sauce (Secreto Iberico) and Red Tuna (Atun Rojo). Both delicious flavours and cooked to order. Friendly and laid back vibe. Plenty of cold pintxos to choose from spread across the bar. There is indoor seating mainly high chairs with bar tables and outdoor table seating in the plaza.

Overall OK but expected a little better based on the overall rating and some previous reviews. We went for the Harri menu, each course arrived swiftly and we'd have appreciated the pace to be a little slower, the starting sharing courses were all good; maki, omelette foam and grilled prawns (seafood of the day). Next course of tuna tataki, the tuna itself was good but accompaniments not to our liking - crisps and a tartare sauce that was too much mayo. Next course of iberican pork was the biggest disappointment - probably one of the driest pieces of pork I've experienced and would have shared that feedback had we been asked at the time. Desserts - passion fruit cheesecake was good and a nice size after the previous courses, French toast is substantial so ensure you've left enough room. Atmosphere is modern and spacious, quiet early on in the evening but busier later which it needed.

Interesting fusion between basque ingredients and Asian techniques. Pretty unique, but you have to like it. The start was with a small cabbage hummus, served while waiting for your order. We then got a Cappuccino of Cod to share, 8 makies with a chili pepper and rice base and cod-fish cream on top. Pretty complex taste, but good. We then had a local grilled beef, very well cooked and tasty, a grilled pigeon with its stuffed gyozas/ravioli, very tasty even if it requires to combine in a proper way the meat, the gyoza and the sauce. Last main dish was a ramen seafood based, with noodles. Very intense taste. To end we order two desserts, the mojito ice cream, served with caramelized orange skin and the French toast with dulce de leche. Both very sophisticated and tasty, the first to prefer if you like a bitter taste, the second if you like a sweet option. The venue is very elegant and cozy, with a very nice playlist accompaining the dinner. Staff was very attentive and nice. Recommended to try, but not expecting a pure basque restaurant.

We had originally booked to go to Eneko Basque, however, after arriving and being ignored for 20 minutes (not even acknowledged or seated) we decided to try Bascook instead. Even though we didn't have a reservation they couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. We chose the Menu Gatz, and were really impressed. All of the dishes were perfect and we enjoyed trying each of them. The wine was also great. The service was exceptional - it wasn't pretentious or over the top and the whole experience felt relaxed. I recommend!

Amazing lunch, exceptional value for such high quality food and service. Highly recommended. We came as a result of a recommendation from a Spanish friend. We didn’t have a reservation but luckily they had a table for us. Ordered from the set menu which was delicious and very filling. Wine was also top notch.

Great lunch time deal with a choice of 2 plates (no difference between starter or main course), plus dessert and a glass of wine or beer for 32 Euros.. Nice friendly staff, great venue. Mussels in a fantastic sauce, steak tartare was very tasty but too smooth texture, special of burger was nice but could have been better seasoned, salt cod nice. All followed by their fantastic chocolate dessert.

Tasty Basque food with modern spin through Asian and Mexican influences. Cocktails also very nice!

Had high expectations for this place, but it fell short on every aspect. The staff makes you feel rushed and every dish had an issue... (cold, not fully cooked, etc). Does not compare to its sister place, The Basquery, which is a 10/10

The pintos here look colourful and are very creative. We tried a sausage wrapped in pastry topped with a mini egg. It was expectedly tasty but maybe a little rich with the combined combo. The mushroom and goats cheese pinto was juicy and the combo gave it a moorish quality. Washed down with an ice cold beer and it was a great pit stop.

Sorgínzulo is another fantastic pintxos experience in Bilbao, right on Plaza Nueva. It’s a small, bustling spot full of energy—people enjoying pintxos, wine, and music, with crowds lining up for the next round of tapas. The selection is big, prices are fair for the location, and the flavors are excellent. I’d happily come back here again!

If you can only make it to one pintxo bar, let it be this one. We tried at least 8 different places in Bilbao and we rank this as the top for variety and taste. We love the pintxos here (calamari burger, stuffed anchovy, anything really). The standout dish of the place was the foie which came with popping candy and a brioche that tasted like a torrija, felt like a dish that was invented to be a part of a Michelin-star tasting menu. You have to order & wait for it but it’s worth it! Service is pretty quick and friendly.

So the service was good and the squid dish was excellent. Sadly we ordered the red tuna dish - the most expensive dish on the menu - instead of coming with the advertised avocado, lime and mayonnaise, they cobbled together something with an overly acidic tomato salad and some rocket (picture attached for proof). If you haven't got the ingredients for the dish don't serve it, a real shame as if you do get served what is advertised the food is excellent.

A lively pintxos place at the main square, a bit more touristic to our like but the food quality and taste is good, pricing is also very fair. Would prefer an either more local and down to earth or smaller scale pintxos place around the town but if you are for the main stream vibe, the food is definitely good!

The pintxos were excellent and varied, though like with many pintxos I was left with a bit of heartburn. The sangria was very light on alcohol but tasty — for me, that’s a plus. Four pintxos and two sangrias for €25 is a deal you won’t find in Munich or other big cities. Unfortunately, the restroom was extremely dirty.

The Pintxos are so good. Pintxo is a special meal ftom Bilbao, similar to tapas. Must try with Zurito. This bar is in the heart of Plaza Nueva (Old Bilbao). BRAVO👍

An iconic place for authentic Pintxos. The service is fast, the food is good, the atmosphere is simple and local. Our favorites: the pulled pork with a slice of apple, and the spicy chicken.

A nice place full of locals which is always a good sign. They are very creative with their pintxos as I'd never seen such flavours.

Only place I found which had a dedicated gluten free menu, had plenty of choice on there too. Had a few of them, good food and good value. Staff were nice and accommodating to my poor Spanish. Service good. Venue itself nothing special, but def worth a visit if after gluten free food in Bilbao. Walk in, didn’t need to book.

A really nice and interesting spot for somebody who visits from outside of Spain. It was my first experience trying Pintxos and this was probably a pretty authentic one. You choose from the ones offered everywhere on the counter, put them on your plate and try to make eye contact with the very very very busy bar woman. It's a wonder they don't burn out after a day of working, respect. They can heat them up for you, or you just eat them like that. 2,50 per snack is quite hefty in my opinion, but for the experience it's worth it. If you have problems with crowded places though, be warned.

Best pintos in Bilbao! And we've tried few already. Such a variety and not only bread/baggiete based.

Having tasted so many Pintxos in Bilbao it is safe to say that this place is special. Unassuming interior with function over form this place offers a great new interpretation of the Pintxo. A fusion of Basque culinary delights with an east-asian twist on the whole thing. The owner is a delight and happy to recommend dishes based on your preference. Hard to just pick one here so go ahead an sample them all. Recommended are the pulled pork and fallafel ones. Thanks for having us!

I've heard about the fame of pinxtos in the north of Spain, but still was impressed by the delicious pinxtos in this restaurant. Seriously, you guys have to try, the duck with peanut sauce for example. The beer is 2.5€ and every pintxo is 2€. Worthy perfectly.

Great service and great food! I was turned down many times because I was dinning solo and did not have a reservation. I almost gave up having dinner when I came to this restaurant. The waiter was amazing and was really friendly and helpful! Loved the scallops, very fresh and tasty. The beef steak is cooked to the temp I wanted. Even ordered an Orujo to finish off the evening. Thank you for being a friend in a strange city.

It's less crowded than the other 2 bars next door. We ordered a few pintxos and drinks. Overall a pleasant experience.

Great service and great food! The servers are all very kind and give great recommendations. They are also great with tourists (speaking at least English and Spanish). The food was wonderful quality and all tasted amazing. I definitely recommend visiting La Olla while in Bilbao

We had a fabulous dinner at La Olla! Our waitress 'Lourdes' was very nice in helping us with wine that goes well with their special Iberian pork chop! Highly recommended place if you love pork ❣️🙏❣️

Service fabulous. Good food. In fact amazing food the tuna the octopus the bread pudding the basque cheesecake the pinxos you can not go wrong. A great meal to end our trip 😋

We had an amazing dinner! Super friendly staff. We even got to eat inside with our dog (under the table).

We went twice within a week. Gambas and steak were full of flavour on both occasions. Service friendly and fast.

We went here for the food with high expectations and it delivered! I mean DELIVERED! I was near tears eating their version of Russian salad (potato salad).... everything was prepared with exceptional attention to FINE detail. Off the hook. Tomato salad with nectarines was the best salad in my life. Period. Great wine....try the first Txokolina.... amazing wine.

Popular in the evening, but worth angling for a spot. Personally recommend the Gilda pintxos (manzanilla olives, anchovies, Guindilla picked peppers, Extra virgin olive oil on toast) & alberiño wine. They close at 10 but they are gracious and will let you linger to finish. Price is nice, Great spot!!

A quick breather during our walk. Very friendly staff. The food is also delicious and well-prepared. A wide selection of vermouths. You can sit inside or outside. It's nice to sit outside and watch the people go by 😃. We paid about 12 euros for what you see in the picture . Highly recommended 👍.

Lovely spot for drinks, pintxos and people watching sat outside. Gildas were fantastic and the staff recommended Rioja was lovely. The Tinto de Verano and Kalimoxto are well mixed. Friendly staff, catering for tourists and locals. If you're looking for a quick break from sightseeing or a long lazy afternoon this is a good place situated in Bilbao's old town.

Freshly cooked tortilla. But you have to chase the waiter literally to get your plate, and it’s cold when you get it.

The customer service was truly exceptional - it was an absolute delight! To our pleasant surprise, the staff spoke English and took the time to walk us through the various options available. As vegetarians, we were pleased to find a decent variety of dishes on offer, and the overall atmosphere of the establishment added to our enjoyment. It's clear that the staff takes great pride in their work, and we encourage them to keep up the excellent job they're doing.

Modern pintxos place with good vibe, it is mostly busy so be prepared to stand with drinks and food, part of the experience as well.

Quite simply the best Tortilla in Bilbao. The crispy fried potatoes in the Tortilla are a game changer. it was so tasty I immediately ordered another.

Was looking to taste Pintxos or Basque tapas in Bilbao. Randomly walked into this restaurant and boy was it a great find. Pintxos were all tasty especially the yummy pork cheeks, at least that what I think it was. I saw some of the locals order it as it was not on display at the counter, and lucky I did. So soft and delicious. We were there when the Bilbao football club won 🏆 and so the vibe in the whole city was festive.

Outstanding!! This is a very small place but wow!! The colors of the food are catching the eye then the mix of flavours are explosing in your mouth. The waitress was friendly. I have discovered the rice cake and I loved it! This place is a must try when you go to Bilbao!!!

Great place in Bilbao. Food was amazing and if I had option for 6 starts, I would add them for the service. Guys at the bar were fantastic and brought so much humour and laughter to our evening. We would go back again.

We just happened upon this place and grabbed an outdoor table for lunch. Instead of pinxhos (tapas), we had comidas caseras, or house meals. My husband had meatballs on a light red sauce plus octopus & lobster on a skewer. I had a chicken taco with house made guacamole. It had a distinct Basque rather than Mexican flavor. Cost €12 pp. outdoor spot, lovely service. Recommend. And worth a wander in the purely local new town section, maybe 15 minutes from the Guggenheim.

Lovely pintxos and food. The place isn't too big but cozy enough for a couple of a group of three. The waitress was class 👌, she gave all the details about their pintxos and food. Great service !!

El Huevo Frito offers a diverse menu for Pintxos, showcasing a range of flavours. The ambiance is lovely, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family, however they could not accommodate 4 people without booking ahead. El Huevo Frito is worth a visit for its unique culinary offerings.

I ordered the hot chocolate and got the absolute best hot chocolate I have tried in so long!! Also for the price I paid, definitely recommend and would go there again! :)

Tiny, nice place, very good craft beer selection (on tap & canned). Some pintxos available.

Great little cafe bar with 5 taps pouring quality craft beer with great service. The food was great, especially the gildas served with a mini Bloody Mary! The music was class too.

So glad I discovered this gem. Food and drinks are simply excellent quality! (Sandwich & carrot cake 👌) And the interior is very hip with a lot of attention to detail. Owner is a very nice chap, too. Thank you.

Came for the coffee and was not disappointed. The owner really knows his stuff. We tried the specialty filter coffee and it was amazing. He even served it in ceramic cups he made himself—we were lucky to be the first to use them! Loved the whole vibe. Definitely coming back.

Such a great bar. It's small and cosy. The staff are really helpful and friendly. There's a great selection of local beers, all delicious. Even if you're only in Bilbao for a few hours, make the effort, it's worth it. The sandwiches looked class too.

I visted here in early December 23 and have to say I wasn't dissapointed. OK, it's only a small place, so it can quickly fill up. So my advice is to get here early. What it lacks in size it makes up for in warmth, friendliness & intimacy. The beer choices whilst limited (by lack of space) are quite impressive and it's fairly obvious that the owner has a good knowledge of craft ales. The choices range from IPA's, Porters, Stouts, to Pilners & Belguim types. On the evenings of our visits there were 6 beers on tap, 3 IPA's, 1 x Porter, 1 x Belguim Dubbel & 1 x Pilsner, not to mention and impressive selection of craft ales in tins (inc some from the UK) The bar's small size can make it a bit squashed at times (especially when it gets busy) but there are a few small tables around the back with a sprinkling of extra chairs & stools. In the worst case scenario there are even a couple of small tables & chairs outside on the street, however the street footpath is narrow & also very steep (Oh & it needs to be dry!) There are two small toilets to the left & rear of the bar (both very clean) On our visits we had the opportunity to sample a few of the bar snacks, both the hummus & the carrot cake were delicious. I can also recommend the hot chocolate & coffee which were equally of top quality. Overall this bar was a great find and despite it's small size I would highly recommend it. The owner is a lovely guy (who speaks better English than my Spanish) and also very helpful. If you're not sure about anything, just ask. To add just a footnote, the bar is located just a short walk from the Ibarreko Zubia footbridge, but be aware if you're not good on your feet it is quite a steep little climb.

A typical Basque restaurant with excellent pintxos. I tried several different typical snacks. They were all excellent. The service was fast and friendly. Considering the hot day, the cold beer served was a real refreshment. A pleasant stop while exploring the old center of Bilbao.

Pintxos were not bad but the bread i think was there just for display. I though we were supposed to eat the whole thing but those bread bits were so hard they were probably made out of paper... Not a good experience. Seemed like we were being server yesterday's leftovers. The staff was wonderful though.

Perfect place to taste various pinchos in the heart of Bilbao. They offer also tapas which you can order in smaller or bigger portions. Worth to mention that people there are very helpful & willing to give reccomendations. Will come back there in figurę ;)

In all Plaza Nueva these were the best pintxos we had

Excellent in everything. Politeness of staff, food, presentation of plate, cleaningness great taste. I highly recommend it.

Good place to try some pintxos. It is located within a square with various other tabernas. The food and service is good. It`s a shame we had to share our bench with cockroaches. The portions are also on the smaller side.

Excellent service. The staff is very friendly and speak English, French and I heard them speaking other languages too. I arrived at around 2pm and it was full! But the waiting time was 5 to 10min and it was totally worthy. The food was great, the music relaxing and the atmosphere was lively. I will definitelly go tomorrow again. The Sangria was perfect. I recommend to sit in the tables outside because it is fresher.

We had two glasses of white wine and the vegetarian salad. The salad was nice and fresh, maybe a bit small, and the wine was alright. I lost one of my cards and the bartender kindly kept it for me when I returned about an hour later :)

Amazing place! They have amazing vegan pintxos and also menu is full of vegan food. All great! In fact it was so good, I went there again the next day

Happy to find vegetarian and vegan options in Bilbao. Luckily it’s also really good! Great place for lunch, diner and some pinxtos

Cool bar with great beer options and delicious food! There were lots of vegan options for food and the meals were huge for a cheap price!! Staff was really kind and helpful. The atmosphere was friendly and the music was great! Would definitely recommend!

We went three times in 3 days 😅👌 The chicken "fingers" with sweet chilli sauce and jamón croquetas were delicious! Had to come back for more! Twice!

Come on guys.. we walked literally 20 minutes to here because the bar is one of the few listed as “closing at 1am”, only to find out that it’s closed at 00:10. Bar with 2.300 reviews.. expect to have accurate info.

Cool little Tapas joint with food offerings beyond that after 8:00pm. Very generous pour on drinks too.

We had time to spare. It was sunny and the outdoor seating caught our eye. They only had indoor seating which worked out well in the end as the decor was quite interesting. We ordered beer and Txakoli. Restroom was clean. May check it out at night to see what kind of vibe it has.

Themed around the movies of Stanley Kubrick. They serve a wider collection of beers than many other places. Quite busy.

Not the best place to eat. Nice location though

Open mic Sunday night. It felt like a dream! Live music with people from different parts of the world been united by the same language, music! One great performance after other and when I just thought the night couldn’t get better two women move the chair next to me open the piano and start singing Nina Simone, my baby just cares for me! A night I’ll never forget.

Lovely helpful staff. Nice atmosphere for a relaxed drink/pinxto

If you like cinema you have to visit this bar - it‘s a hommage to Stanley Kubrick! By the way, the service is great and food delicious :-)

Good music, good beers and a nice atmosphere!

Very expensive beer for Bilbao. €9.20 for a ‘pinta’ (not a pint, not even close) of anything ‘craft’ — €6-7 for a regular beer. Didn’t help that the guy was very rude too. The Czech Budvar-style beer we had wasn’t fresh, it was almost flat. Disappointing, was hoping to make this a regular haunt!

The craft beer paradise. They have a great selection of beers on tap and cans and I found some great beer from Manchester ( ABC, Cloudwater) They don’t have any pintxos at the counter but just cheese and biscuits. Cozy ambience with quirky forniture. Absolutely approved, I felt at home.

Closed all week. Owner cant be bothered to put notice up explaining why closed or if ever opening again. If owner cant be bothered I would recommend avoiding and go elsewhere moere deserving of custom An offence to all penguins

Really good choice of beer - shame it was only open for one day of my holiday. Guy serving was super cool and friendly too. Only minor drawback was that it was stuffy inside, despite the weather outside was cool.

Selection of beers was quite small, not all taps were operated, but the quality of the beers was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Penguins are a +1, everyone loves them right?! I had a really good time out there, so I would absolutely recommend this place for enjoying some good beer.

Nice taplist with some brews from their "house brewery" some cans / bottles on the side. service was an extra solid dude.

As an industry member from the US, its always great to see craft beer alive and well in another country. Cool selection of 16 draughts with a fun bottle list as well. Saw some Cantillon in the fridge... Friendly service and great food to boot! Dog friendly.

All good except the service. They starve you. I ordered fries and after checking twice, I got it in 45 minutes. And they make you pay at the time of ordering, so you can't leave either.

Was served probably the worst pint ever here. It flooded the table and ground before I could start drinking it ...aparty from that ot tasted good

Wanted to watch the All Ireland GAA final and despite being an “Irish” pub and having multiple screens, we were told that it wouldn’t be shown. Thankfully a customer had a rte player account and they allowed him to log in and we got to watch the final but I think they would have had much more of a crowd if they had planned to show the match in the first place!

I will give it a 4 because it least had Guinness. That said it definitely wasn't a full glass, not sure if euro 4.90 is good value as never had Guinness in Spain before. No food until 8pm apparently, and then only pizza and Nacho's. I can imagine it's good with a crowd on a match day, on a Thursday evening at 7pm it's mediocre at best. Cannot beat the real Irish pub in Ireland.

Irish pub with Guinness in a can and very bad service.

No Guinness on tap, only cans. Which they had non on a Tuesday afternoon. The bottom of the barrel when it comes to Irish bars

Irish-styled pub. Nice place to take a pint Guinness and have a good time with your friends. It's not too noisy and also have fries, burgers, sandwiches and pizzas if you are hungry.

As a Budapester, I felt right at home here. Super friendly people, sitting along the river on the street during on these balmy summer evenings. A must-try for all ☻

Drinking Vermouth in an anticapitalist café, with the Beatles playing in the background? Yes please

There is a bar in Liverpool called Keith's. This place is just like Keith's. Class bar.

A Bilbao classic you can’t miss, old style decor, nice sandwiches and pintxos, but the best part are the servers who are some of the nicest in town

Quiet, good pintxos and relaxed atmosphere overlooking the river of Bilbao.

cheap and very friendly bar. nice wine and tapas, also gay-friendly I believe

Crowded with daytime drinkers. Great boccadillos and coffee. I think I was the only coffee drinker at 14.00.

The music is kinda ok sometimes, the drinks are quite expensive. Didn’t feel comfortable that much at that place, the waiters were rude. I understand that this work is not that easy, but at the same time.. saying ‘thank you’ would be nice. And almost no one spoke English. I get that not everyone needs it. But when you work in a club/bar/restaurant, and you know that the city is not that small.. expect the tourist.

Good bar, nice athmosphere, inside its not the most comfortable feeling, but in the end it was ok. Also we got a good look as foreigners, but we got served well and had a fine time !

Very-very expensive drinks (about twice the level I have met in Bilbao so far). Also the music was so loud you couldn't speak to the person sitting next to you, but you couldn't dance either because the floor was covered with tables. The bartenders didn't understand the very simplest requests in English. The interior design was nice, but still I wouldn't recommend, and especially not to tourists.

Weird place but if you want to dance it should do. Probably the only place that actually works on week days, though the crowd is really sad on those

It can be hit or miss but very very nice bar tenders.

Decent pub but run by a bunch of crooks who will steal your stuff if you are dancing. Don't get there on your own!!

Super party!!

Terrible place regarding the guards outside. Walked up to the line, they said full, but as we didn’t speak Spanish I asked him in English if there was a waiting list. Guy pushed me away without a reason, told him to calm down as I was only asking a question and for no reason he punched me in the face. As I read more reviews, apparently they are pretty rude to a lot of people

Beware, these guys are liars!!! Especially don't trust security and safety stuff... They may promise a service that you will never get! For example, I have asked and paid for the order of a dance music that was never arranged and they didn't return my money back!

The security guard punched the kid in front of me straight into nirvana for literally nothing. Destroyed an otherwise ok experience and I won't spend my money here again.

Said open to be on wednesday but nobody kk there

Too many young people it’s like nothing but 18-19 year olds.

Good crowd little expensive.. nice ambience and crowd

Nice place, good music and lots of fun people

Staff were friendly and welcoming. The music was really good. The only thing that I didn’t really enjoy was how full of teenagers it was, but I guess it’s all about what mindset one enters to the club with. I had a good time either way, but I felt out of place/like a dinosaur sometimes as they seemed so young 🙈.

Stay away!!! So arrogant staff. I was waiting in the queue and asked to go in for the toilet because I was desperate yet all my friends were still there. They refused and told me go to the bar across the road scoffing. I understand now why the girls are peeing in the streets!! So annoying!

Soooo full and sometimes hard to walk around but it’s a very nice looking place

It was nice. The lady bartender at the entrance was really friendly. Too bad the DJ didn’t want to play Marwa Loud…

Never actually went in since the place was infested by teenagers well to young to even know what nato is.

Went here for a Cuban Rueda class and dancing. Lovely people, good dancers and a really nice teacher

Great vibes

It was very poor. The barmaid was only interested in getting fixed up for a date with a bloke at the bar!

I went on holidays to Bilbao (Spain) with my two female friends. We wanted to go out one night, but everything closes very early in Bilbao. Most bars had shut their doors at 22:00 (10 pm). Upon asking around, we got recommended El Galeón, as that would be one of two bars still open at 23:00 (11 pm). I must say it was a very boring experience. There were almost no (young) people, apart from a creepy man who was constantly staring. The bartender definitely wasn't the most friendly either, and I have never found a bar where they play such annoying, unappealing music. It was a Spanish playlist of songs no one knows and overall it just didn't fit for going out. I'm afraid this is your last hope for a fun night out in Bilbao - but you will have more fun just buying some drinks from a Chinese store and playing drinking games with friends, cosy in your own appartment.

Loved the atmosphere in here. Staff were super friendly

Beautiful bar, shaped like a Napoleonan gallion. Located in the city center. Very Pirate/Sailor oriented. I recommend

Top notch. The guy who was bartending knows how to mix drinks and there was a dance club that made it a lot of fun.

Not the party spot we hoped it would be.

I love the Pirate Bar most amazing pub in Spain argh argh

In a world filled with alcohols, established players or newcomers joining the scene all have to defend their right behind the bar. Creating liquid experiences worth remembering. This establishment might have had the craft sometime before, but today lacks any interesting qualities. Either inside the drink, or the ambiance of atmosphere within their walls of blue and neon purple. A watery espresso martini and an uninteresting gin fizz awaits anyone bold enough to make an order.

Nice cocktails, not the regular ones, but their own combinations. Very pretty and delicious, some of them even spectacular. No food being served, except for some candy. Nice atmosphere, music is a little loud. Friendly staff. They opened up a little after the time the website said.

Lovely bar excellent service and the best cocktails

As someone who is really into cocktails (amateur bartender), I really like the way they take care in creating their cocktails. They also have a excellent welcoming environment that is beautifully decorated and non-pretentious. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

Great energy, specially Bartender "Albert". Slow gloomy sunday, around closing time, me and my girlfriend went there to try cocktails, he put equal efforts on every drink, from pours to garnish. As a bartender myself, extremely satisfied! Would for sure visit this place again if I have the chance!

Great cocktail tue mixologist knew what he was doing, fabulous selection of alcohol. Also had a lovely coffee and breakfast here one morning

Diego and Esti are incredibly talented and amazing people. They were very hospitable and I was really impressed with how much care they put into every drink. Extensive knowledge of all sorts of cocktails and can put them together with the best flair I’ve ever seen! Huge shout out to Pietro as well who was asked to come help for the night and was incredible! Thanks again for an awesome night and helping this first time tourist to Bilbao have a fantastic time! Much love guys and I’ll see you again soon! <3

Fantastic, free dance such as bachata, salsa and may more. It's recommendable to anyone for sports.

Old people all around

Rock Star

Super

(Translated by Google) I'm going to be honest: we went to a gala on Sunday, December 29, from 12:30 to 4:30. We arrived first, but the DJ didn't start until half an hour later. The music at first was reggaeton, a little filler and at medium volume, although they later turned it up. As for the sound system, it is good and can be heard equally throughout the court and areas. Around 1 in the morning DJ Markelin started. Beyond its style, the music was quite varied and successful. As for security, at the end of the night there was a tense moment with a drunk guy. I notified a security guy and he resolved it quickly and without making a fuss. In short, I thought the club was very good. Although the first half hour was quiet, the night was great. Without a doubt, I would repeat. (Original) Voy a ser sincero: fuimos a una gala el domingo 29 de diciembre, de 12:30 a 4:30. Llegamos de los primeros, pero hasta media hora después no empezó el DJ. La música al principio era reguetón, un poco de relleno y a volumen medio, aunque luego lo subieron. En cuanto al equipo de sonido es bueno y se escucha por igual en toda la pista y zonas. Sobre la 1 de la mañana empezó DJ Markelin. Más allá de su estilo, la música estuvo bastante variada y acertada. En cuanto a la seguridad, al final de la noche hubo un momento tenso con un borrachito. Avisé a un chico de seguridad y lo resolvió rápido y sin armar jaleo. En resumen, la discoteca me pareció muy buena. Aunque la primera media hora fue tranquila, la noche estuvo genial. Sin duda, repetiría.

(Translated by Google) Hello good evening, I just came to complain about one of the PR companies you have, on September 21st I reserved 18 tickets for this weekend, he told me that he would reserve them for me (I have screenshots of the conversation) even so I told him that on the 13th-14th I would confirm if it was definitely those ones or some more, I confirmed today that it was the 18 that he had already reserved for me and his response was "I don't know if I have any left now I'll check" I replied to see if he had any left in the end and I haven't received a response. I think this treatment is terrible when it was already reserved a month in advance and on top of that he doesn't even respond after that, the PR company is a real rascal, anyway (Original) Hola buenas noches, solo venia a quejarme de una de las rrpps que teneis, el dia 21 de septimbre reserve 18 entradas para este fin de semana, me dijo que me las reservaba (tengo capturas de la conversacion) aun asi le dije que el dia 13-14 le confirmaria si eramos seguro esos o alguno mas, le e confirmado hoy que eramos los 18 que ya me habia reservado y su respuesta ha sido "nose si me quedan ahora te miro" le respondi aver si le quedaban al final y no e obtenido respuesta. Me parece fatal ese trato cuando ya estaba reservado con un mes de antelacion y que encima ni responda despues, la rrpp es arrate ibarrondo, enfin

(Translated by Google) Very good. Dj is usually an 8 with good judgment and good mixing skills. I recommend Friday. Good glasses. They don't ask for an extra euro for the jaggerbull. There is usually a good atmosphere. The doors are nice if you don't mess with them. The space is wide. There is a platform. Bathrooms ok. €2 per wardrobe. The area is perfect because it is next to the metro. If you catch it early, the entrance fee is €15 (Original) Muy bien. Dj suele ser de 8 con buen criterio y buena habilidad para mezclar. Recomiendo viernes. Copas bien. No piden euro extra para el jaggerbull. Suele haber buen ambiente. Los puertas majos si no la lias.el espacio es amplio. Hay tarima. Baños ok. 2€ por guardaropa. La zona es perfe porque esta al lado del metro. Si la pillas con tiempo, la entrada son 15€

Really nice bar to drink a good beer and have fun playing table foot with friends! The staff is really friendly and professional If you are in Bilbao you have to come here!

I am one of the locals, I can’t be objective. One of the best pubs in the whole town.

This place is always a great place for drinks, music, and meeting new people. The variety of music and drinks are sure to satisfy most customers. Has a chill atmosphere, English speaker friendly, and cleaned and stocked toilets (most of the time). It gets busy as it's popular but the staff are always willing to help and keep up with cleanliness during the night when possible.

Great ambience, staff very nice, large variety of beers and cocktails. Best of rock music! Even dart board and foosball :D Totally recommend!! *****

Very friendly staff and crowd. I discovered a couple of local favourite drinks...

Last night was a movie

Awesome place with darts and futsal table game

Great live music! It depends on the gig but it's a nice place. The beer could be much better though

Overpriced for the bad service they provided

They don't understand English and you have to pay more if you don't know them

(Translated by Google) Central and Cozy Concert Hall of a size very suitable for tribute bands and others of less relevance, with bar service with easy access to enjoy the gigs with your drink in hand. It has good sound system. (Original) Céntrica y Coqueta Sala de Conciertos de un tamaño muy adecuado para bandas tributo y otras de menos relevancia, con servicio de barra de cómodo acceso para poder disfrutar de los bolos con tu bebida en mano. Dispone de buena sonorización.

(Translated by Google) I only go to this room for concerts. Very good access and good sound. Despite being a small room, at no time does it feel overwhelming. Clean bathrooms. Efficient staff. A perfect place to enjoy your favorite group (Original) Solo asisto a esta sala a conciertos. Muy buen acceso y buen sonido . A pesar de ser una sala pequeña ,en ningún momento se siente agobio . Baños limpios . Personal eficiente . Un sitio perfecto para disfrutar de tu grupo favorito

(Translated by Google) Stage Live has a great atmosphere, and the music and venue are worth a visit for a lively night out in Bilbao. However, there are a few negative points to note: the staff isn't very welcoming, especially with French people, which somewhat spoils the experience. The service is quite slow, and you have to leave your drinks in a lobby if you want to go out for a smoke—not very practical. Also, many glasses end up broken on the floor, which isn't ideal for safety. It's a shame, because the venue has potential. (Original) L’ambiance de Stage Live est sympa, la musique et le lieu valent le détour pour une soirée animée à Bilbao. En revanche, quelques points négatifs à noter : le personnel n’est pas très accueillant, surtout avec les Français, ce qui gâche un peu l’expérience. Le service est assez lent, et il faut laisser sa consommation dans un hall si l’on veut sortir fumer — pas très pratique. De plus, beaucoup de verres finissent cassés au sol, ce qui n’est pas idéal niveau sécurité. Dommage, car le lieu a du potentiel.

(Translated by Google) I've only been to concerts, it's an ideal venue for that. The drinks are not expensive. Very nice staff (Original) Solo he ido a conciertos , es una sala ideal para ello. Las consumiciones nada caras. El personal muy majo

We visited first on a Friday night and got great service and some wonderful cocktails. Great atmosphere and cool interior. Decided to drop by again the following Sunday and asked for the same drinks, but were met with a scowl and a terrible attitude. All in all a very mixed experience. You might get lucky, you might get severely disappointed.

Stopped in for a drink loved the bar and the ambiance.

Great interior and great mixed drinks. I’m not saying it’s fancy, but they actually had paper towels in the bathroom.

Pretty little bar, where we stopped for some drinks and pintxos. The vermú is super recommended! The owner(?) mixes this herself rather than just pouring straight from the bottle and it's absolutely amazing. The pintxos were delicious as well.

Right, I want to get my facts right because it is quite possible that things get lost in translation. So, I travel to this bar because of its reputation as a great cocktail bar, I request a Negroni, and am then told (by the mature lady behind the bar) ‘no cocktails, only beer, gin tonics and wine etc’. So I order a beer. Then, a matter of a few minutes later she is mixing drinks like she is Tom Cruise on acid and delivers . . . a perfect Negroni to the next customer. My Spanish is non-existent as is her English, but something very odd happened and it annoyed me greatly.

Great Food and chill 💕

Beautiful bar with great service and inexpensive food and drinks!

It's a good place to have fun with friends, so if you like Latin music, this is your place!

(Translated by Google) There is a lot of inequality, girls are not charged entry, but boys are, and supposedly they do it so that only people enter who want to consume and not rabble. Every time I come in we consume, and we order hookah and everything. But just because of that fact I will never step on that record again. (Original) Hay mucha desigualdad, a las chicas no les cobran la entrada , en cambio a los chicos si, y supuestamente lo hacen para que solo entre gente que quiera consumir y no chusma. Yo siempre que entro consumimos, y pedimos cachimba y todo. Pero sólo por ese hecho ya no vuelvo a pisar esa disco.

(Translated by Google) Very expensive Cubatas... I prefer Rum cola de flor de cana and it hurts me to charge €7 in back here €8 and on top of that it's Pepsi with cacique... the truth is good music, but the drink is the worst part... no It's worth spending the money here. (Original) Cubatas muy caros... Yo prefiero Ron cola de flor de caña y me duelen cobrar en back 7€ aquí 8€ y encima es pepsi con cacique... la verdad buena música, pero la bebida lo más malo.... no merece gastar el dinero aquí.

(Translated by Google) They should change the doormen, have people who know how to take care of customers, those doormen are rude, they let in whoever they want. I give it one star because it's the minimum I would give it zero (Original) Deberian cambiar a los porteros , tener gente k sepan atender a los clientes esos porteros son unos mal educados dejan entrar a los k ellos les da la gana. Le doy una estrella xk es lo minimo yo le pondria ceroo

(Translated by Google) Very hot, it's exasperating, they didn't turn on the air and the prices of services and bottle buckets have gone up a lot. The mask thing is understandable but the security guards had a lot of preference with some (you would be serious friends of them). (Original) Mucho calor, es desesperante no prendian el aire y aparte han subido mucho los precios de los servicios y cubo de botella .. Lo de la mascarilla se entiende pero los vigilantes tenían mucha preferencia con algunos ( serias amigos de ellos)

(Translated by Google) I like the atmosphere and the music is quite varied, it wouldn't be bad if the cost of the drinks were fairer, it seems to me that they exaggerate with the prices. (Original) Me gusta el ambiente y la música es bastante variada, no estaría mal que el costo de las bebidas fuese más justo, me parece que exageran con los precios.

(Translated by Google) Everything's fine, but the security guards' service needs a lot of improvement, and the most important thing is knowing how to serve customers. It wouldn't hurt to take a customer service course. (Original) Todo bien pero el servicio de los seguratas hay que mejorar mucho y lo más importante de todo es saber atender a los clientes. No les vendría mal hace un cursó sobre atención al cliente.

(Translated by Google) The biggest problem was the attitude of the person in charge, who, far from being kind and fair, managed the order of the songs in a crude and arbitrary manner, ignoring the requests of some attendees for no apparent reason. This lack of professionalism and fairness overshadowed the experience, turning what should have been a night of fun into one of frustration and discontent. If that wasn't enough it was too hot. The doorman very friendly. (Original) El mayor problema fue la actitud de la encargada, quien, lejos de ser amable y justa, gestionó el orden de las canciones de manera borde y arbitraria, ignorando las peticiones de algunos asistentes sin motivo aparente. Esta falta de profesionalismo y equidad ensombreció la experiencia, transformando lo que debería haber sido una noche de diversión en una de frustración y descontento. Si eso fuese poco hacia demasiado calor. El portero muy amable.

(Translated by Google) We have received bad treatment from the employee. We had not consumed for a while (although we had already consumed about 10 drinks and we had been there for just over an hour) and the waitress, instead of telling us to consume or leave, she kicked us out directly saying “last song and out, this is not a market.” , it seems a shame to me since, as I said before, we had consumed quite a bit and we were not having bad behavior on the premises. I don't recommend it. (Original) Hemos recibido un mal trato por parte de la empleada. Llevábamos rato sin consumir (aunque habíamos consumido ya unas 10 bebidas y llevábamos poco más que una hora) y la camarera en vez de decirnos que consumiésemos o que nos fuésemos nos echó directamente diciendo “última canción y fuera, que esto no es una lonja”, me parece una vergüenza ya que como bien he dicho antes, habíamos consumido bastante y no estábamos teniendo una mala conducta en el recinto. No lo recomiendo.

(Translated by Google) My experience at this karaoke was marred by the lack of attention and friendliness of the waitress. After having previously consumed in the place and being in a pause between songs, we were forced to listen to an unpleasant phrase from the waitress who reminded us that "this is not a fish market" and asked us to leave. We understand that the business has its rules and needs, but the way we were treated was not appropriate. We feel uncomfortable and we do not receive the treatment we deserve as customers who have previously consumed at the place. Additionally, the lack of flexibility and empathy on the part of the waitress did not contribute to a pleasant karaoke experience. We hope that in the future, the karaoke staff can improve their customer service and consider the importance of providing a pleasant atmosphere for all their visitors. (Original) Mi experiencia en este karaoke fue empañada por la falta de atención y amabilidad de su camarera. Después de haber consumido previamente en el lugar y estar en una pausa entre canciones, nos vimos obligados a escuchar una desagradable frase de la camarera que nos recordó que "esto no es una lonja" y nos pidió que nos retiráramos. Entendemos que el negocio tiene sus reglas y sus necesidades, pero la forma en que se nos trató no fue la adecuada. Nos sentimos incomodados y no recibimos el trato que merecemos como clientes que hemos consumido previamente en el lugar. Además, la falta de flexibilidad y empatía por parte de la camarera no contribuyó a una experiencia agradable en el karaoke. Esperamos que en el futuro, el personal del karaoke pueda mejorar su atención al cliente y considerar la importancia de ofrecer un ambiente agradable para todos sus visitantes.

(Translated by Google) Very good site. The waitress was charming, attentive and had good service. I recommend 100%, we have come from outside and it has been an incredible place (Original) Muy bien sitio. La camarera un encanto, atenta y buen servicio. Recomiendo 100%, hemos venido de fuera y ha sido un lugar increíble

(Translated by Google) We waited over an hour to sing two songs. The excuse? There were a lot of people. There were bands singing three or four songs, and some people who had handed in their tickets later than us got their turn first. I've been to other karaoke bars in Bilbao, and I understand the crowds, but once you handed in your tickets, you sang your four or five songs, enjoyed the atmosphere, and left happy. (Original) Estuvimos más de una hora esperando para cantar 2 canciones, ¿la excusa? Hay mucha gente, cuando había grupos cantando 3-4 canciones y les tocó antes a unos que habían entregado el papel más tarde que nosotros. He acudido a otros karaokes de Bilbao y entiendo que haya mucha afluencia pero dábamos el papel cantabas tus 4-5 canciones, disfrutabas del ambiente y te ibas contento.

(Translated by Google) Good atmosphere. I'm not giving it 5 stars because Adele's "Hello" wasn't there—a joke, it's a legendary karaoke spot—and also because the bathrooms were a bit ugly, the doors were damaged. Otherwise, it was great. I'd come back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (Original) Buen ambiente. No doy 5 estrellas porque no estaba "Hello" de Adele, un chiste, es mítica de karaoke, y bueno también porque los baños eran un poco feos, las puertas estaban dañadas. De resto muy bien, repetiria.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
