    Small traditional bar, located in a lively area, if you come to Bilbao, Pozas is the street par excellence to have a few drinks in the morning and in the afternoon to go from bar to bar. El Zaharra is a good place to start. The decoration is neat, and the waiter immediately attends to you. In the middle of the afternoon it is crowded, although it is small it has a terrace Their small sandwiches and tortillas are very good. The bathroom area is in a loft, I didn't like seeing boxes of empty helmets in the hallway leading to them. recommendable

    201805 one of the best pintxos I've had, the pickle with tuna, what a flavor. Good service, good background music, not very noisy, I need a more elaborate pinto and less bread, but it will be one of the regulars. You cannot pay by card.

    Cool bar, no BS & truly amazing Spanish Tortillas as most of their pintxos. We had quite a few different ones like the morcilla, jamon, carbonara (yes, carbonara 😍) & the traditional potato. This is also a good place to stop if you need some actual protein in your diet when you're in Spain.

    (Translated by Google) Rude waitress, we went in to have a drink and she serves a customer who came in later than us, and she said no, we told her that we are here first and the boy came in later. Seeing his attitude we decided not to consume anything, in Bilbao there are many bars to have a drink, they have lost some customers. She has to be impartial, because she can't see which customer comes in first, since she was the only waitress. As said we will not return (Original) Camarera mal educada , hemos entrado para tomar algo y le atiende a un cliente que entro mas tarde que nosotros , y ella decía que no , le decimos que estamos nosotros primero que el chico entro después . Al ver su actitud decidimos no consumir nada , en bilbao hay muchos bares para tomar algo, han perdido unos clientes. Ella tiene que ser imparcial , porque no puede ver que cliente entra primero, ya que era la única camarera . Lo dicho no volveremos

    (Translated by Google) Rude and disorganized. Having few customers at the bar, I went in to have a pintxo and a beer. As soon as it is served, I pay for the drink. What is my surprise that when leaving the premises, I kindly say goodbye saying "agur", the waiter snaps at me: like agur, if you leave without paying. In front of the few customers that there were at that time. Earth swallow me!! Thank God I put the ticket in my pocket so I could show the waiter that I had paid. By the way, he didn't apologize to me. Damn there are such disorganized and rude people in the world. I wonder if behind this unacceptable behavior there may be some kind of prejudice. (Original) Maleducados y desorganizados. Habiendo escasos clientes en el bar, entro a consumir un pintxo y una caña. Nada mas ser servido, pago la consumición. Cual es mi sorpresa que al salir del local, me despido amablemente diciendo “agur”, el camarero me espeta: como que agur, si te vas sin pagar. Delante de los pocos clientes que habia en ese momento. Tierra tragame!! Gracias a Dios que me guarde el ticket en el bolsillo para poder demostrarle al camarero que habia pagado. Por cierto, no me pidio disculpas. Manda narices que haya gente tan desorganizada y maleducada en el mundo. Me pregunto si detrás de esta conducta inaceptable puede haber algún tipo de prejuicio.

    (Translated by Google) A classic from the Pozas area. Good pintxos and terrace. On weekends it gets busy in the afternoon, but it happens all over the street. To try better during the week or in the morning on the weekend. (Original) Un clásico de la zona Pozas. Buenos pintxos y terraza. Los fines de semana se pone a tope por la tarde, pero ocurre en toda la calle. Para probar mejor entre semana o por la mañana el finde.

    (Translated by Google) The tall waiter is an edge of care and an answer, the waitress, on the contrary, very nice. She had to fix her bad behavior for him. Very expendable. (Original) El camarero alto es un borde de cuidado y un contestón, la camarera, por el contrario, muy maja. Tuvo que arreglar su mal comportamiento por él. Muy prescindible.
