Quiet and very cool place to have a drink or a cocktail. The waiters are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

Excellent cocktail bar in Casco Viejo to have original and well-made cocktails. He local, music and very pleasant atmosphere. Good recommendations from the waiters, very professional. Cocktails between €6-10 are worth paying for. It will undoubtedly be the trendy place in a short time. It is good to go as a couple or group of friends since due to the layout of the place there is quite a bit of privacy. I will definitely repeat :)

Place recently opened. I highly recommend it, delicious cocktails with attention to detail, wine list with ecological wines. The staff and managers are professional, with a good environment to spend any type of evening. Excellent price quality. If you come to Bilbao you absolutely have to stop by here.

Excellent cocktail bar in the old town of Bilbao. It has an extensive menu where you can choose the cocktail you like. Then they prepare them thoroughly, a bit of a hassle, yes. The boy who served us was very friendly. A different place to have a drink with style in Bilbao.

The drinks are very delicious.

Good drinks, nice atmosphere

Local in the center of the city, in one of the most interesting streets of the Old Town, as it is not very busy. Then the entrance catches your attention and when you enter you find an adult, but familiar space and two very friendly waiters. Actually their idea is to sell cocktails and wines although they also serve you coffee. The decoration was very relaxing as well as they have padded seats that make the stay more comfortable. Highly recommended for small friends parties or bachelor parties. We ordered coffee with Baileys and it was really delicious although we hope to return to try a cocktail.

Very delicious cocktails, very good service 👌

Spacious and quiet place with very delicious cocktails although some non-alcoholic cocktails are missing. Very nice waiters and varied music including rock.

Lovely place. Only had time for one cocktail, the Cherry Maison. Was delicious. Highly recommend.

Delicious original and new, very well executed cocktails. The service was superb and the music/atmosphere made us sit through multiple rounds. I can’t wait to go back on my next visit, there’s nothing quite like this in Casco Viejo!

What a delightfull experience! We were searching for a good place to drink cocktails in bilbao and Ara 23 is clearly the best one! Eric is so professionnal, welcoming and on the hightest level of bartending. Prices are really reasonnable for the quality of the product. I vividly recommend this spot and we'll come again for sure at our next stop in bilbao.

My cousin and I spent a fantastic evening at Ara 23 being served some of the best cocktails we've ever tasted and chatting to one of the lovely owners. Showing his skill as a professional sommelier, he effortlessly conjured up cocktails that he thought would fit our personalities and tastes and he got it right every time! This place is a little gem that offers cocktails that are a cut above the rest. Definitely worth a step off the old pintxo trail!

Best cocktails in Bilbao, if not the northern hemisphere. Flawless Espresso Martini, peerless Moscow Mule. Great service, typically deft Basque design. 6 star experience.

Best cocktail bar in the old town,awesome cocktails, nice people, cool service, amazing experience

Un lugar perfecto para tomar un cóctel en un ambiente íntimo. Los cócteles son excelentes y están muy bien presentados. El local es muy bonito y acogedor, dando una sensación de comodidad desde el principio. El personal es digno de mención, extremadamente profesionales, simpáticos y atentos al cliente. Repetiremos seguro.
