Bar Veggira
Bar
👍👍 This is absolutely the Best Vegan Restaurant in the world (so far)!!!! Lovely people serving such a mind blowingly delicious and lovely VEGAN food and helping innocent animals in doing so. Must visit if you are in Bilbao! Highly highly recommend Cypruss Gyros, Tostas de Zalmon.

Bihotz
Brewpub
👍👍 The first real beer I found in a week in Spain. Delightful, chill atmosphere. Great music and excellent regional and European beer selection. Well worth the trip. $6 euro cab ride from the center of Bilbao. Excellent coffee as well.

The Wicklow Arms
Irish pub
👍👍 The Wicklow Arms is a gem, nestled right in the centre of Bilbao. Michael is a gent, who makes one feel right at home right away, in his little hive of activity, which oozes convivial charm, and is well worth a visit if in the vicinity at all.

Azzurro Rock Pub
Pub
👍👍 Popped in for one, stayed for ten. Had a blast with strangers.
Made a nice change to go somewhere that is an actual bar with music, as opposed to 'delicatessen with beer'.
Shoutout to Jorge, Tom, Rachael and Sergio, the owner, who put Whitesnake on the jukebox for me. BOSH.

Sir Winston Churchill Pub
Cocktail bar
👍 It is an amazing spot, but don't go in here if you expect to find a pub. It's more like a cocktail bar, which by the looks of it is more than a decent cocktail bar!

Bar SantaMaría
Tapas bar
👍👍 Super delicious Pintxos. The opening hours vary a bit from what is stated on Google but I think that is true for a lot of restaurants in the area. The Iberian pork steak is soo delicious. If we had stayed another day for sure we would have come again just for that!

Residence kafetegia
Cocktail bar
👍👍 The best selection of whisky's in Bilbao... In fact, the best I've seen anywhere in a long time. Great ambiance with live music playing along on some nights. Just a nice place to sit and drink, doesn't get any better than that.

Bar Bitter Bilbao
Bar
👍👍 Bitter Bilbao is definitely worth visiting. Pintxos are delicious, drinks are refreshing and Jorge is a hell of an entertainer. It was pleasure to spend evening chatting with him while sipping our cocktails.
When you are here:
- try the vermouth Jorge makes himself,
- jamon + bread = ❤️ (it's very...

El Salon de mi casa - CAT CAFE
Restaurant
👍👍 Very good experience. Friendly staff and super cute cats. ☺️ It costs €5,50 per person to go in but the money goes to a cat rescue association, and all the cats in the cafe are up for adoption. I was lucky they had space but the girl working said it’s better to reserve online.

Baster
Tapas bar
👍 A nice café- bar in the old town of Bilbao. Great Pintxos, friendly staff, fair prices. Give it a chance and sit outside, you can really feel the vibes of the town. I really loved the sandwich with the calamari that had an extra touch of olive oil. It was literally melting in the mouth.
