Extensive knowledge of all sorts of cocktails and can put them together with the best flair I've ever seen! Huge shout out to Pietro as well who was asked to come help for the night and was incredible! Thanks again for an awesome night and helping this first time tourist to Bilbao have a fantastic time! Much love guys and I'll see you again soon!

If you've spent any time in Bilbao, you've come to learn that while the food is excellent, they are…read morenot known for their cocktails. BUT, enter Gin Fizz. This appears to be a one man operation and labor of love. Trained mixologist, Diego, brings heart to every concoction. Well versed in flavor profiles, his drinks are complex, subtle and flavorful. Plus, Diego is just a really sweet guy. If you are in need of something other than the Basque region's fine wines, stop by Gin Fizz. Worth a trip.

So your Euro doesn't only buy you a small beer or wine but also a small plate of chorizo, some cheese or fried potatoes. They have good coffee for a Euro (cortado) and some cocktails (the classics) too. Very friendly service and a modern, clean interior should have people queueing out the door.

This out-of-the-way bar offers a wonderful seating area outside, and a beautiful bar and seating area inside. Very pleasant vibe with mixologists hard at work behind the bar serving up a wide variety of cocktails and mocktails. There is no food at this location but little munchies are provided along with your drink orders. Drinks are premium so pricing can be more than what you would expected typical bars of the city. Frustrating This bar is open only during evening hours. Check their website for any changes. Highly recommend that you stop in for one of their beautifully prepared drinks that are exceptionally refreshing.

The staff and other patrons were really friendly during our visit in 2018. 2023 UPDATE: We decided to stop here again in August 2023, but unfortunately the place was disappointing. We were seated on the patio, surrounded by chain smokers. I know...I know. That's how it is in a lot of European cities. I get it, and I could have tolerated it for a bit, except that the service was horrible too. Nothing like our previous visit when we were greeted by friendly people. This time it seemed as though they didn't care to be bothered to serve anyone. I don't know if it was an off night. Either way, we left not long after arriving. It may be a post-pandemic thing, where people are overworked and tired. Hopefully it will improve as time goes on.

There is a comfortable but mysterious vibe about this pub. It's dark leather chairs and couches are arranged into small seating spaces where you can have an intimate date or bring a group of friends.

I was absolutely enthralled by the presentation and flavors of my drink. This pub was recommended to me by my hotel host and I'm so grateful. I wish I had more time in Bilbao so I could go back!
