    Honestly one of my favourite bars in the world. Spectacular views over the bay and town of San Sebastian, in a quiet spot with simple drinks and food. Prices are surprisingly very reasonable given the location and number of tourists - very similar to anywhere in town They serve simple food here (sandwiches, olives, a few simple pintxos) and the usual drinks, plus Spanish craft beers. Sitting in the sun by the castle wall, looking at the view with a nice glass of wine/beer is one of the best experiences in San Sebastian.

    Go there. A bid hidden, it's worthwhile going there. You'll have to walk up the little hill. The view is stunning and youl get all kind of drinks and a few simple but delicious snacks (e.g. Humus and carrots). They have life music from time to time.

    Amazing view, great drinks, and amazing chicken sandwiches! We stumbled upon this by accident during our hike, and we never wanted to leave. One of my favorites places that we have been.

    (Translated by Google) The pirate bar is halfway up to the fortress of San Sebastian. From there you have a great view of the island of Santa Klara and the wild waves that burn there on the cliffs. Here you are served by young, deeply tanned men with bare torsos and wild long hair. You get beer on tap and also from a fridge and at the right time of year also a must. However, getting drunk at this point is not advisable. Already on site, the paving stones are bumpy and the toilet is 50 meters up the mountain. The way down has steep steps and winding serpentines. (Original) Die Piratenbar liegt auf halbem Weg hoch zur Festung von San Sebastian. Von dort hat man einen super Blick auch auf die Insel Santa Klara und die wilden Wellen, die dort an die Steilküste branden. Bedient wird man hier von jungen, tief gebräunten Männern mit nackten Oberkörpern und wilden langen Haaren. Man kriegt hier Bier vom Fass und auch aus einem Kühlschrank und zur richtigen Jahreszeit auch einen Most. Sich an dieser Stelle zu betrinken ist allerdings nicht ratsam. Schon vor Ort sind die Pflastersteine holprig und die Toilette liegt 50 Meter den Berg aufwärts. Auch der Weg nach unten hat es in sich mit steilen Treppenstufen und sich windenden Serpentinen.

    The hosts were not nice. They were very rude to us. Bring tourists we didn't argue much but their attitude definitely changed towards natives. They were a lot more hospitable to them. The food was stale and cold taken out of a freezer and they charged us nearly 4 euros for a very small cold sandwich. It was a necessity since we were very tired and hungry climbing up. Would definitely not recommend if you are a tourist because of the unpleasant experience and racism.

    This place is sick. We stumbled upon this bar while hiking the area. We didn't plan to start drinking so early in the day, but beer tastes better after hiking anyway. Their mojitos are also perfectly made and fresh tasting. The views are unbeatable and they have a good amount of seating available. I don't think you can get to this place without taking a considerable amount of stairs, so bring some comfortable shoes!

    Great place to visit if you're in the area and a great view for a few photos. A small place with mainly drink options.

    Perfect apres hike spot. like so many others, we ambled up a hill and whilst enjoying the Vista, happened upon this spot. "what's that down there?" why it's a conveniently placed refugio on a little urban hill that has exactly what you want. lil snacks, curated cocktails and micros, espresso and Kind staff delivering caring service with a gorgeous view with deep cuts for a soundtrack. You simply must.

    Gluten free beer! Amaaazing view and a really nice place to sit and enjoy an aperitif or something refreshing after a long walk. I could easily sit there all afternoon, enjoying the scenery and good music.

    (Translated by Google) Really a wonderful enclave with very good vibes ... that day there was a rap session and it was great. What was very hard for me was the short climb up the stairs and I had to rest shortly before arriving since the slope is very demanding and more 15 minutes after eating a huge chuleton ... so often sofocon, haha (Original) Realmente un enclave maravilloso con muy buen rollo..ese dua habia una sesion de rap y estuvo genial. Lo que me resulto muy duro fue la subida corta por las escaleras y tuve que descansar poco antes de llegar ya que la pendiente es bien exigente y mas 15 minutos despues de comer un enorme chuleton..menudo sofocon, jaja

    (Translated by Google) A must stop after the climb to Mount Urgull to regain strength and enjoy the breathtaking views of San Sebastian. There is no table service but being where they are is already a luxury for the tourist or native 😁 (Original) Parada obligada tras la subida al monte Urgull para reponer fuerzas y disfrutar de las vistas impresionantes de San Sebastián. No hay servicio a mesas pero estando donde están ya es todo un lujo para el turista u autóctono 😁

  • 5/5 Kimberly R. 9 months ago on Google
    Hike to this bar from the Old Town, the stairs behind Kokotxa Jatetxea and the church. Before you imbibe, go to the top for panoramic views. Walk back and get the Txakoli and enjoy the view.

  • 4/5 Patrick S. 1 year ago on Google
    A short hike up the hill will bring to this hidden gem with fabulous views of the bay. Surprisingly good prices, considering that this is San Sebastian. 3 euro for Tinto de Verano is nearly 50% less than what you pay in town!

  • 5/5 JJ C. 1 year ago on Google
    Picture says a thousand words, view is unbeatable, paid less than €7 for a big bottle of cider and amazing olives, service is basic in a good sense, just go to the bar and order what you want and enjoy the view

  • 4/5 Siwa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views and nice atmosphere! They have a variety of drinks, including wines, craft beers and kombucha! They only had one Pintxos- hummus with grissini. While the grissini weren’t worth eating, the hummus was great.

  • 5/5 Steve K. 10 months ago on Google
    What a spot. Went by other Google Maps recommendations and didn’t disappoint. Climbed to summit then returned via this bar. View is spectacular and drinks and staff are great. Limited food but large drinks menu with great cocktails (had Mojito and Negroni, both excellent). We weren’t the only people to make new friends over conversation with other tables- eventually joining another couple to while away an hour or two. Trip highlight.

  • 4/5 Claire H. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place. The view is amazing and the drinks are a good price. The bowl of olives for 2 euro is great value and they were really tasty. The male staff member serving was purely miserable and poor customer service. The other staff were friendly.

  • 5/5 Walker H. 11 months ago on Google
    Didnt hike up the mountain for the drinks but definitely would to have them again! Nothing beats delicious vermouth with friends and a view after breaking a sweat!

  • 5/5 Philippe S. 9 months ago on Google
    Found this spot by accident while hiking up towards Urgull Castle. You go up a stone staircase and there, a little bar with an amazing view. Haven't tried the pinxos but their drinks are good and affordable. Usually a prime location such a this would command higher prices, but not this place. Great spot as well for enjoying the sunset.

    Best view and chills in San Seb and most bars in the world! Chill, drink and lap up the scenery, don’t rush leaving this little gem.

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 6 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite hole in the wall spots in all of Europe. The drinks were outstanding, the views are incredible, and the prices are more than fair. If you're doing some hiking in the area, definitely stop by and grab a drink!
