The second plate of Croquetas were filled with Pistachios (among other things) which were surprisingly amazing. We just ordered them to try them out, and I'm glad we did. Highly recommended! The place itself is new-ish and super hip. I'm already planning on returning the next time I visit fam in the area. Five stars easy.

We tried all the ones on tap: The 1€ (YES, 1€) "bodega-crafted" Estrella de Galicia comes directly from the factory with no additives. They also have a great selection of European beer, from wheat, to Belgium abbey,... The friendly waiter also suggested we try the 3 local "artesanales" bottled beers, Debbla. The blond and the black (stout) had hints of wheat and I loved it. The red was an amazing IPA. They also have very good wines. They make "tinto de verano" ("summer wine") with real "rioja", and the Sherry is supplied directly from the "bodega". The food goes well with beer. Pizzas, sausages, "codillo" (ham hock), and montaditos (small sandwiches). Montadito gorila was our favorite.

While taking a tour of the Lustau winery, our guide mentioned a long list of places we should see on our short trip in Jerez. At the top of his list was el Tabanco el Pasaje. In fact, he recommended we go there because not only do they have their own barrels, one of them contains Boatina. It's a sherry you can't find in the US. Sold! Seeing that we traveled all the way to Southern Spain to actually drink sherry and visit wineries, this sounded like the perfect bar to relax in at the end of the day. Especially because we could try sherries that we simply haven't ever had at home. The barman (who was the same each visit) was really kind and helpful. He was always talking to locals but would pause them politely, step away, and take our order. Just $1.50 for a pour! We tried Botaina (yum!) we had Amontillados, we had Palo Cortados, we had it all. And each time it was $1.50 and each time he stepped away to pour a big tall pour into a little sherry glass straight form a drippy, sticky, gorgeous barrel. And don't forget the little tapas! With your order of sherry he slides a basket of little mini bread pieces your way. They're like teeny tiny baguettes the perfect size for a mouse, but crunchy and hard like salad croutons. The bar also had lots of old photos, maps, and nostalgic items along the walls. There were posters and banners of famous people, of flamenco dancers, bullfighters, and more. It was as 'Jerez' as it gets. Truly traditional! No English, no menu, no fuss. In fact, I'm trying to recall if they even had spirits for sale. I think it was only sherry but they have 6 or so barrels in the main bar and even more around the bar. Lots to choose from. And if you don't like sherry, why on earth are you in Jerez?! After you get your order you can stand at the bar, grab a table, or wrap around to the other side and sit in a little cubby area with even more stored sherry barrels. Each time we came we tried something new and each time we came we sat somewhere new. I loved the little low tables and the low stools to sit on. It was almost kid-sized furniture. It was cute, it was comfy and it was super casual. Since it's a local pub and most of the patrons were men, I was a little weary of the shared restroom. Turns out it was super clean! Yay for that! Some nights there's flamenco performances, other nights they close. We weren't sure if they have regular business hours or if they shut down when it's quiet and they want to go home. Either way we loved it and when we come back to Jerez this will be our first and last stop of the trip. Highly recommend that people come here for a local, friendly sherry experience. Oh! And free WIFI!

It is also dog friendly and they will give your dog a bowl of water and if you want a bowl to share your food with him/her. Just ask for it! Also if you are here for a while and want soy milk, just ask them to have it for the next couple of days and they will, it is the only place in Jerez that will do that and has soy milk! Another plus is the playground right in front, excellent for kids!

Housed in an area that is rich in history the interior of the restaurant has been beautifully restored and feels very inviting as soon as you walk in. This establishment is known for its tasting menu however, me and my family opted to try individual dishes that interested us the most. For myself, I enjoyed the pate appetizer which was smooth and not overly powerful. I appreciated It's mild and delicate flavor. My second appetizer was the sweet breads that had a beautiful gloss from the sherry wine glaze that it was finished in. Delicious My table shared an appetizer of croquetas that had one of the best béchamel sauces I had in Spain. Of the main courses of my table the best dish by far was "Chuletón de vaca selección especial" which was offered at €80 per kilo. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare with a wonderful char crust on the outside and large pieces of salt sprinkle finished on top. Most of all I really enjoyed the deep aged flavor of the beef. I was also able to sample a fish entrée on the table which was snapper with black rice. This dish was good but nowhere near as good as the steak. To finish it all off my dessert was "Tosta de arroz con leche" I found this dessert outstanding, reminding me of a traditional Arroz con leche but with a nice crust on the outside, and a touch of sweet corn in the middle. Highly recommended. Overall, a very memorable dining experience that is a bit on the pricier side, but fun and interesting, pushing the boundaries of modern and traditional Spanish cuisine.
