Bar entertainment in Aragón, Basque Country & Navarra

  1. A

    Mesón del Caballo Blanco

    Country comes to town at this enduring favourite. It's in a converted church just inside the city wall to the north of the cathedral. Inside and out you have a charming sense of escaping claustrophobic city streets and the across-country views are refreshing. It also does decent food and fairly good wine.

  2. Bars

    Calle de Espoz y Mina and Calle Mayor, a stone's throw from Plaza del Pilar, have plenty of varied bars from which to choose. There's a satisfying buzz round the Plaza del Carmen area in the newer part of town where a string of café-bars and restaurants keeps things lively day and night.

    M.A.D

    Musica, Arte and, well, we’re not sure what the ‘D’ stands for, but otherwise it does what it says on the label. Alternative music blasts day and night, and photos and psychedelic art adorn the blood-red walls.

    Bar Ondarra

    Head over to Gros for this terrific bar that's just across the road from the beach. There's a great chilled-out mixed crowd and, in the rockin' downstairs bar, every kind of sound gets aired.

    Kamin

    Laid-back listening in rosy light among the Bilbao cognoscenti. The music trails sweetly through everything from rock and pop to alternative and fresh new sounds on the Basque scene. To get there head down Calle Ercilla from Plaza de Federico Moyua, turn right onto Alameda de Urquijo and it's three blocks down on the right.

    Soma 107

    Amsterdam in Donostia. Very laid-back venue where just hovering round the streetside hatch can get your mind drifting and where the creative interior is in keeping with the vibe.

    Bar Bergara

    A popular, award-winning bar where things get hectic after midday. The bar groans with splendorous creations and even the barmen orchestrate in style.

    Dom Lluis

    Other good bars include the intimate Dom Lluis, which rolls on through the night when many others are safely tucked up at home.

    Twiggy

    Retro psychedelio! Happy post-hippie place with a cheerful mix of '60s kitsch for lovely people. Serves cheap snacks during the day.

    Sibbibo

    Low, neony lighting and colourful décor suit the very cool sounds for a fairly energetic crowd at this popular bar.

    Etxe Kalte

    A very-late-night jazz haunt near the harbour, it sometimes throws open its doors to all kinds of dance-music styles.

    Uda.berri

    In the same locale as Pokhara, this is a cool ground-floor bar, with a more boisterous scene downstairs.

    La Granja

    La Granja, which despite its modern outlook is full of old-timers propping up the bar.

    Soho

    Funky music and funkier décor attract a crowd right through to sunrise here.

    M.A.D

    Musica, Arte and, well, we're not sure what the 'D' stands for, but otherwise it does what it says on the label. Alternative music blasts day and night, and photos and psychedelic art adorn the blood-red walls. There are a couple of similar places nearby.
