Best places: Bars and Pubs in Bilbao, Spain

Fine-dining venue offering a tasting menu of artfully plated meat & fish dishes, plus wine pairings.

👍👍 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.

👍👍 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.

👍 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!

👍👍 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.

👍👍 Trato muy agradable, una idea distinta a la hora de ir a picar algo o incluso acabar comiendo, estupendos los txipirones en su tinta y la tarta de queso, y buen cafe

👍👍 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...

👍 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.

👍👍 One of the best pintxos morunos in Bilbao, certainly the best in old town (casco viejo). I've been here multiple times, and it has never disappointed.

👍👍 Gente muy maja siempre. Cafe especial.. Se sale de bueno y tomarte una copa bien hecha.. No tiene precio. Muy recomendable Graciass.

Popular oyster bar serving raw varieties with wine pairings & cocktails in laid-back surrounds.

👍👍 Super nice craft beer bar with delicious pintxos and very friendly and service-minded staff!

👍👍 🇬🇧 Possibly the best place to eat in Deusto. For 10 euro you get a drink, chips and an award winning burger. The quality is good, and having tried a few, the combinations are well considered. It's also worth mentioning that the beer selection is amazing. 🇩🇪 Vielleicht der beste Ort, um in Deusto zu...

👍👍 We had some great wine - both natural and regular wines here. Jonathan, the owner is very knowledgeable about wines and he recommended us some good wines from the Basque region. Our favorites were from Oxer wines. The Pintxos were just as good. Highly recommend this authentic place!

😠 Not very nice staff. Expensive prices and average food.

👍👍 THE BEST! I might be writing this review under the influence of a delicious vermouth, so objectivity is not guaranteed. But if one drink makes you want to write reviews, this place is worth it. Highly recommend!

👍👍 As someone who is really into cocktails (amateur bartender), I really like the way they take care in creating their cocktails. They also have a excellent welcoming environment that is beautifully decorated and non-pretentious. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

👍👍 Great little bar tucked away but well worth seeking out. The setas al purgatorio were garlicky and delicious and the chorizo al inferno were lovely and smokey. They also seem to do their own wine Señorío de Bacaicoa which was very good. Overall a very high standard of pintxos.

Cozy restaurant serving classic pintxos & Spanish wines in a low-lit, wood-clad dining room.

👍👍 Good selection of local craft beers (in cans, not on tap). Tasty snacks like empanadas, vegan/vegetarian options available. Friendly staff and good seating options even though it can get a little busy.
