Bar Txakoli is cool.I saw a poster for a gig there and went up (and up!) on a whim.A EUR10 taxi ride (the driver got lost) took me to the venue.There was a punk band playing outside (Los Envidiosos) and a very relaxed gathering of geriatrics down to toddlers clapping,dancing and playing round a simple rustic setting.Excellent.I drank some very generous screwdrivers which at EUR3 was a steal and listened to the band outside.There's a stunning view of the city from here too.The interior decor dates from every era between 1930 and 1985 and it's very much a local bar with internet access and the owner playing wicked goth and punk from a massive database.I stayed late and had fun with the band.I'm delighted I went to Bar Txakoli and would recommend a vist if you'd like an authentic taste of Bilbao with a punk twist. read more
