👍👍 Loved this bar, easily one of my favourite in Bilbao. The selection of craft beers on tap was amazing, some amazing fresh DIPAs too. The barman was lovely and had a great knowledge of the beers he was serving. Also, great music. Don't miss this place if you visit Bilbao People often mention beer, beers, selection, craft, great, Great, friendly, good,

    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.

    Daytime is a set menu for €14.50. 3 courses plus an amuse bouche! Lovely food... didn't get the artisan beer but it looked good.

    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.

    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.

    Google says it opens at 5:30pm. Arrived at 5:45pm and it was closed. Returned at 6:45 and it was closed. Don't rely on opening hours online to go here, otherwise you will be disapointed

    As fans of craft beer we were excited to try this place during our visit to Bilbao so we were very disappointed to find it closed at 7pm on a Friday.
