Califa are the beers from this micro-brewery. The didn't have a large selections of in-house beers, mostly light beers. The day we went they didn't have their stout which we wanted to try. Their lighting "rubia" was nice and crisp. Their brown ale was good, bitter and fruity, and their IPA was good too. We tried the salmorejo, Cordobán dish, and it was good: served with crackers and quail eggs. They have more beers from other parts of Europe, but all bottled or canned. read more

No hot liquids, their machine is broken. No IPA. No smoked salmon, cheese plates, or any other of the first four or five menu items we asked for. No paper towels in the washroom. I know, I know, it sounds like I'm whining... but this was my one and only experience here, and I'm not about to sugar-coat it! read more

When in Spain I mostly partake of the vino. When it's really hot I'll have a caña with my pescaito frito. But if I do happen to come across a craft beer bar, you bet I'm gonna check it out! Califa stocks their own brews as well as regional craft beer. It's a nice little place to hang out and a great change of pace from the traditional tapas bars, not that I ever need a change of pace from them!!! I enjoyed the local beers I sampled and the bartender was super nice and friendly! read more

This is as a good spot in the center of Córdoba for a beer and tapas during the Uruguay vs France game. I had the Califa La Rubia and the wifey had the Califa Stout. The bartender was so nice and attentive and she shared points of interest and other craft beer locations in town. She recommended the ibérica mixta tabla and it was delicious. We recommend they offer honey or mermelada for the cheeses... read more

Maybe it was my broken Spanish or the fact I am hard of hearing. Heck, maybe it was the fact I came in an hour and a half before siesta. But, I must have rubbed the server the wrong way when I ordered the house IPA. The beers were good enough and a welcome reprieve from the light lagers I had been drinking in most of Spain, but the server was callous to my California craft beer sensibilities. So I subsequently ordered the morena and the stout, because I don't travel to Spain to just try one of the house beers (flights are literally a foreign concept). Any way I didn't have the Spanish to inform the server that the refrigeration was off on the morena, but he must have known right ?! Anyone that sure of themselves must have known. Any way... Another thing I learned the hard way was cañas are only offered during the weekend. So three full sized copas later I was left a bit bloated and confused. The beers were good, and either the server or myself was a little off. In the US, craft beer folks are really salt of the earth. Here in Córdoba I feel like they are a bit more saffron. read more

Finding craft beer in Spain can be a challenge - but, we were so thrilled to find Califa in Cordoba. The owner was friendly and his beer was tasty. The brews were heavy on the IPA - and, I'm really not a fan of IPA - but I really enjoyed the stout and wheat. If you need some relief from not great spanish beer, don't miss Califa. read more

Great place of you love a good craft beer! The owners were so chill, explained everything and showed us how they make some of their special brews. Seems like they are capitalizing on a market that hasn't been 'tapped' yet. Also, I give their Salmarejo and Tosta Margarita 2 thumbs up. read more

Overall SOME of the beer was okay. This is coming from Boston with some of the best beer so take this review from that point of view. The double IPA was okay and they had some interesting foreign beers (including some from the US) but like most places in Spain, it is not great beer. That said, nice space, friendly staff and it was fun to do a flight. We did not get tapas with our beers but did get some chips. We did not eat any food there.I would not go out of my way but it's a nice place to get a drink. read more

Nice place to grab some craft beer and nibbly things. It was so nice we went there twice.

I like this place and ended up going twice in the 24 hours I spent in Cordoba. Great beer selection, friendly and helpful staff, and nice atmosphere. I took off a star because the prices are a bit high, and because in a city with such a strong tapas culture, their tapas were a little sad. If the tapas were a little more generous and tasty (given the high price of the beer) I'd definitely have given 5 stars. read more

This is a very simple review to write. Califa brews world-class craft beer, and serve their own stuff along with a great collection of craft beers from around Spain and a few from further afield. You get a free - and excellent - tapa with each drink order. There are also larger food servings available to order, and the ones we tried were excellent. Finally, the staff are very friendly and efficient, and the bar is clean, well-designed, and cosy. We came here twice during our two-day visit to Cordoba, and would make a stop in Cordoba in the future just to pop in for a couple of rounds at this bar. read more
