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.

We stopped by the Gintoneria when we visited San Sebastian in 2018. It was a really fun place with…read morea nice patio. They specialize in fancy gin cocktails. 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.

The bar staff is super knowledgeable, especially the lead bartender Kamil, and the signature cocktails are some of the best I've ever had - and I'm from NYC! As amazing as the food and wine scene in San Sebastian is (and it's 100% world class) - it's actually almost impossible to find a decent cocktail. We lucked onto Alkimia based on a local friend's recommendation and were absolutely blown away. Do yourself a favor, start or end the night with a drink at the best real cocktail bar in San Sebastian - you won't be sorry!

Go here. My girlfriend and I came to this cocktail bar knowing that beer, wine, and vermouth were…read morethe standards in San Sebastian, however the cocktails here proved more than worth a stop. Mikel made us the most phenomenal mezcal drink and old fashioned we've had in a long time. Our mezcal cocktail, the Al Green, was tart and boozy - beautifully garnished with wasabi peas. Served in a coupe glass, it was a deep green, but tasted of the floral and bitter notes of the mezcal with citrus and savory notes. Any mezcal or margarita lover would love it. The old fashioned was served as it should be - with a massive rock and a heavy shake of bitters. The orange garnish and local cherry set off the bourbon perfectly. On your quest for pintxos and dinner in San Sebastian, make a point to stop and see Mikel at Arraun.

Walking towards our Pensionne, we heard the muffled beats of house music and decided to try it out. I'm glad we did! We rolled in about 12am, and it was empty except for a bachelorette party and a few dudes. As we were a group of 8, we were happy to spread out into the small area and continue our celebrating our libations. So why do you ask, does this bar warrant 4*...well it's because the DJ was spinning the most awesome set of deep house!! As it rolled into 1-2am it got a little bit more crowded but I think this places doesn't really get bumping until 3am (it closes at 4-5am). So if you're up for some good house music (none of that progressive sh** either), come to Bar Arraun. Drinks are a little $$ but they are stiff. Worth it for a night of dancing to some good beats and lots of BASS
