Some of the best pintxos I've ever had and I've been around and love pintxos, even when they're called tapas. Got caught in a bad rain storm in Bilbao and ducked in here. I didn't realize it but I was very lucky to get a seat. It's not abig place and with c-19 restrictions they can't have many people in there. The food was great! A menagerie of flavors and options. I definitely ate too much one little bite at a time. My Spanish is horrible and the staff was very understanding and helpful. They also have English labels on the back of the Spanish ones. By the time I left there was a line at the door. I'll make sure to get there early next time I'm in Bilbao.

Probably the best pinxtos we've tried so far in Bilbao. Excellent combination of ingredients, and everything was very fresh. Staff are friendly and helpful. Can be difficult to find seating during busy times, and it's worth being mindful of your possessions as we spotted a pickpocket scoping the inside of the restaurant area for an opportunistic theft!

If you're looking for a cool pintxos bar, this is the place to be. They have all sorts of pintxos and you can just walk up to the counter and pick some. It's great for a simple dinner with some drinks. Rotation is high, so if you can't find a spot to sit immediately, you'll probably find a spot if you wait a while. A must try when in Bilbao

One of our favourite pinchos and small raciones experiences en Bilbao. It took some time to get a table outside but we managed and the service was very good. The bartender gave us great recommendations. The crab pincho is nice, I was even more surprised about the blood sausage and peanuts and the tortilla with truffle. Very tasty pinchos. We also tried the smoked tuna and it was so delicious.

This is super good. The spider carb is a must-have. So creamy and good! Foie is also so so good! Crispy on the outside and so flavourful. Croquettes are also one of the best we have ever eaten! Tip: Ask for half squid ink and half ibérica if you can’t decide like us! 😛

super nice pinxos! especially with cod fish and tuna. Service is friendly.

Nice tapas they served. Aromatic expresso and not noisy...

The best tapas bar ever!! What I like about this bar is: 1: Staff members are always super attentive and you can order and refill very quickly. No stress in ordering. 2: All the food are incredibly delicious!! Really good. 3: They work in a very good team. I see they help each other and hug each other and that makes the atmosphere very loving and welcoming and I believe that would make the whole service quick and yet with hight quality!! I wish we had a bar like this in my town. Very nice bar. Highly recommend. Thank you for all the effort you make everyday.

Amazing food. We mainly had pintxos; txsngurro, salmon, avocado, cuttlefish, shrimp. All of them were excellent. The morcilla one is very strong, so I may avoid that one next time. The place was crowded and people were eating the food standing.

Tasty pinxos for a reasonable price. A broad selection of different flavours as well as vegetarian options. The flair of the outside area is nice on a busy night out. Wait to be seated though, otherwise the waiter can get annoyed. Inside its mostly people standing and chatting like a typical pub.

Excellent choice for your first pintxo experience. Everything is delicious and fantastic.

Most amazing pintxos I’ve ever had. We loved them so much we went there for lunch one day and dinner the next. I definitely recommend the tortilla with truffle on top, life changing. I ordered a bunch of different ones to try and they were all €2.40 or less, so really well priced as well.

.Visited this evening for dinner. Good location, friendly staff and delicious food. I had tuna which was well seasoned and cooked perfectly, crispy outside and a bit pink in the middle. Potato dish was also well seasoned and tasty and tried a bit of meatballs my partner ordered which was very tasty. The photo I added doesn't do the justice, my fault it looked very appetising and I had a mouthful before I remembered to take a pic for the review!

Definitely worth the fuss. Yes it’s not the cheapest pintxos. Yes it’s always extremely crowded but the taste and variety and uniqueness of all the food and wine is amazing. And what is most important they are so nice with customers even when is busy and crowded which is rare in Bilbao. Don’t miss pintxos here they are next level from all the others in the town.

The place offers very tasty pintxos and good wine options. Nice choice of food and lovely buzzy atmosphere inside and outside.

We were recommended this bar for its pintxos and it’s on a lovely street with a good atmosphere generally but the food itself is nothing special. Many are overfilled with mayonnaise or other cheap filling and did not look appetising.

A very enthusiastic boss, delicious and diverse Pintox, there isn't much room to sit in the store, everyone eats standing up, but the atmosphere is good, and the beer is also delicious

Great find. Beautiful pintoxs and very good staff.

Good food, very busy at times, semi friendly staff but not great.

Cheap. Delicious. Friendly.

Great pintxos! Highly recommend this place. We had to wait 10-15 minutes before a table was available, but the food was definitely worth the wait. I would certainly go back.

Definitely the best place to go if you're looking for traditional pintxos in Bilbao. They are fresh, original and elaborate and worth paying a visit. Be careful because it gets busy fast!

Very well located with one of the best selections of pintxos in Bilbao. Very busy most of the time. Just order at the counter and eat standing around the counter or try to get a table on the terrace. Good selection of local wine and beer.

Wow those tapas are beyond imagination! So tasty!!!! We are two people and we took four rounds of tapas, super yummy, thanks for such awesome food!

Went for the crab gratin and it was so worth it. Crab is probably the signature dish of this bar it got even a decoration of crab. Tried other visually enticing stuff too and almost every one of them is good. Seafood tastes fresh. The atmosphere is great and people seem to have an agreeable vibe at this location. The staff are very friendly too. Strongly recommend for Bilbao center tapas bar hopping.

Absolutely un-missable. We were greeted with smiles and great disposition. Super fast service and the tastiest pintxos ever!

The best pintxos I’ve had in Bilbao! I especially liked the crab meat one. Good wines as well

Superb! Friendly and amazing food. Team was smiley and not like most grumpy camareros 😂

Planned a pintxos crawl & included El Globo based on reviews - absolutely not disappointed!!! The crab was incredible, service was friendly & the absolute CROWDS queueing fir pintxos & drinks was impressive. Great end to the crawl, 10/10 recommend ❤

Awesome tapa / pintxo bar! We tried the crab cake, squid ink burger and a goat cheese pintxo. All of them are delicious with the black squid ink burger being my favourite!

If you're looking for the Bilbao pincho experience and don't mind fighting large crowds to get your food, this is your place. There's absolutely no organization, so you may end up waiting thirty minutes to get any service. The staff is generally nice except the man who was cleaning tables who got unreasonably angry because we hadn't deposited our napkins in the container he'd given us...keep in mind we hadn't yet finished eating. The pinchos were some of the best I had. However, I'm not sure they lived up to the hype, especially given how chaotic the entire experience was...
