    Terrible place in the late evening and night. Full of drink 50-90 year olds trying to flirt with everyone and everything. I went in there thinking (because of the name) it would be a nice place to sit down and enjoy a great whisky, but that was completely wrong. Maybe it is better in daytime or early afternoon but I never went back.

    First thing to note is that this isn't a museum, it's a bar. Yes it has hundreds of whiskies, and other drinks. They also do lovely cocktails. But first you've got to get to the bar. That really shouldn't be a problem, but here so many locals park themselves that you can end up trying to attract the (very good) barman from a distance.

    Best bar in San Sebastian. It was our main stay for the week. The staff are very friendly and do everything to make you feel welcome. Great cocktails and wide range of drinks to suit all. Downstairs is popular with locals and often has piano nights as well as traditional Basque music. The puzzles are also very entertaining. A must visit in San Sebastian.

    Museo del Whisky caught me by surprise. A dedicated whisky bar in a seaside Spanish city is, in of itself, a surprise. But what particularly impressed me was the superb range of whisky on offer, and the warm welcome we received. Make sure you order a measure of DYC 8 year old - a Spanish whisky, and a most suitable choice when visiting this hidden gem in San Sebastian.

    I love the full piano in the basement and all the little details of wiskey history. But it's a bit of a place for old people, interesting, single old people. Which one day I will be too, so I'll be back. Great place!!

    The best bar in town. Paul the bartender is so funny and has lots of tricks up his sleeve! If you love whisky you have to visit and if you don’t love whisky you have to visit! So much fun and laughter.

    Super place. Great vibes. Bartender is a hoot, trust the man and let him direct your whiskey experience. We started with an Old Fashion and the rest was history :)

  • 5/5 Tove L. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful cocktail bar, we had the best drinks ever. Bartender had a real “high fidelity” vibe in the good sense. Plus he showed us how to melt a large ice cube into an ice ball ⚪️

  • 5/5 Joakim T. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent cocktailbar, with a really good sortiment of whiskys! They are a late night bar, with a grand piano in the basement - which they use for keyboardstand in the basement...

  • 5/5 Joe b. 4 years ago on Google
    Has the biggest whiskey collection in Europe. Bartenders are very good, don't go past the Greek Old fashioned cocktail. Definitely worth a visit!

  • 4/5 David R. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice enough bar focusing on copas and whiskey. Largest selection I’m sure, and don’t mean to be sniffy, but if you’re in the market for real decent stuff you’ll be disappointed. Or perhaps it just wasn’t readily available and the staff didn’t put it out there. There is a menu, but we had to ask for it. More novelty and touristic than I’d like.

  • 5/5 Juan C. 5 years ago on Google
    Eclectic place with a good selection of whiskies. Knowledgable staff. Small selection of cocktails, but the Bang Bang was very good.

  • 5/5 Romina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great gem ! Amazing gin and tonic and a super kind service ! We will definitely go back !

  • 1/5 Heather F. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a whisky bar with bartenders who don’t know how to make a manhattan. Or a whisky sour. The doorman also let a large group cut in front of us because a pushy woman texted her friend who works there, to avoid the five minute wait 🙄 It is obviously a popular spot but unless you catch it before the rush, it’s disappointing and the staff are unprofessional. The traffic and notoriety has turned what probably started off as a charming spot, into what could best be described as ‘your parents’ amateur hour’

  • 5/5 tomas d. 4 years ago on Google
    First of all, in my personal opinion this is a Landmark in San Sebastian. Even though this was only my 2nd time here (I mean the bar). Every time I am in SS I want to go, but for whatever reasons, I never go. They have all the best whiskies in the world ($$$). Is a place you don't want to miss, that's if you're a Whisky lover. Don't be discouraged by the outside look, is what's inside what you're there for. Enjoy!!

  • 5/5 Marco N. 6 years ago on Google
    Here you can find the best whiskey in the world. Prices a little high but not worth it, even just for the atmosphere of the place.

  • 5/5 Yuzhou S. 6 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Fine colection of whiskys, fun and professional staff.

  • 5/5 Scott H. 5 years ago on Google
    Omg!!! This place is like heaven 🤣 the bartender was like an artist! The selection is the biggest I've ever seen. The downstairs area is so freaking cozy! It's a must if whiskey or bourbon are your jam. I had a whiskey sour and an old fashioned... both were out of this world good!

  • 5/5 Ronan W. 4 years ago on Google
    Great spot with many many choices for whiskey. Nice cocktails too! Even though our Batman had little English he certainly entertained with magic tricks that left us baffled 😀

    (Translated by Google) One of the best places in Donostia to enjoy a good drink or a good cocktail. Endless references of whiskey, gin, rum, etc. 100% professionalism and good vibes.

    (Translated by Google) It is excessively expensive. I had a 33cl Heineken. and they charged me € 4.50, a bit excessive for the area. I have no intention of going back. Besides, I'm not into whiskey either. (Original) Es excesivamente caro. Me tomé una Heineken de 33cl. y me cobraron 4,50€, un poco excesivo para la zona. No tengo intención de volver. Además tampoco soy de whisky.

  • 3/5 Leonardo 3 years ago on Google
    Buenos whiskies pero precios demasiado elevados. Here could you find a big whiskeys variety but prices are 2 expensively. My last bill 130€

  • 3/5 Rose W. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there for a glass of scotch... Albeit I didn't check prices first which is my fault, but 30€ for a glass of Yamazaki was OUTRAGEOUS to say the least. Otherwise the bartender Paul was great fun.

👍👍 This place is amazing! Still thinking about the food hours after lunch. Not too busy on Tuesday for lunch, got a seat pretty quickly. Must order: beef cheek, foie gras, pig feet (they cut it up and shaped it in a wheel). See urchin was good but too rich for me
