    Famous for their anchovies and there's a good reason why. The setting is a simple Spanish bar, but the food is great and the wine is very decently prices and good. Located in the Old Town, it's very lively and small, so get there early or just have your food and drinks on the street, it's very normal

    (Translated by Google) Basaras is undoubtedly one of those places where it is always a good idea to stop. A bar with history and its own style in the heart of the Old Town of Bilbao that stands out for the quality of its products, preparations and the professionalism of its staff, who will know how to recommend and guide us through its extensive and select wine list. The homemade and prepared vermouths are wonderful and there is plenty to choose from, and of course their pintxos, among which the anchovies stand out, tasty, simple and very well prepared. In addition to the secluded and intimate interior space, it has a couple of little tables at street level (where the sun hits in the morning, something unusual in the Casco) and although it is not always easy to find a place, it is worth waiting to be able to enjoy what the Basaras offers us. (Original) El Basaras es sin duda uno de esos locales donde siempre es un acierto parar. Un bar con historia y estilo propio en el corazón del Casco Viejo de Bilbao que destaca por la calidad de sus productos, preparaciones y por lo profesional de su personal, que nos sabrá recomendar y guiar por su carta de vinos, amplia y selecta. Los vermús caseros y preparados son una maravilla y hay donde elegir, y por supuesto sus pintxos, entre los que destacan las anchoas, sabrosas, sencillas y muy bien preparadas. Además del espacio interior recogido e íntimo tiene un par de mesitas a pie de calle (donde pega el sol por las mañanas, algo poco habitual en el Casco) y aunque no siempre es fácil encontrar sitio merece la pena esperar para poder disfrutar de lo que el Basaras nos ofrece.

    We came here on a recommendation from our host and it did not disappoint. The anchovies are served in so many different way and the basque wine is delicious. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Jon was so knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.

    Wow....superb snug bar with a vast selection of fantastic wines and excellent pichos. Brilliant value in my opinion. What the owner and staff don't know about wines probably isn't worth knowing.

    I love this place - welcoming service, great selection of wine and vibe. We were recommended by the staff to try the anchovy pintxo that they are famous for. I will highly recommend this place.

    I leave five stars only for special places. This is one of them. Go here for the wonderful array of selected wines and very tasty pinxos. It's a smallish space with limited seating inside but do as the locals do and stand or sit on a stool and enjoy the atmosphere of people enjoying quality wines in this family run spot.

    Lovely place to eat pintxos and drink a copa of wine. Everything we took was amazing. Strongly recommend the croquetas de jamón and of course the anchovy pintxo. The red wine was fantastic.

    What a nice wine selection and what nice hosts. We tried a few that night and they were quite good. Even though they were busy they were still open for a quick chat. Not the best pintxos in town, but still quite tasty, then again we were not going there for the food.

  • 5/5 Roberto R. 10 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    It is always a pleasure to visit this small wine bar in the old town. Jon focuses to place his tavern among the best wine bars in Basque Country. You can enjoy a large range of domestic & international varieties by the glass or bottle. Food is fantastic, very well treated!! from small local bites to terrific iberico meats
