Were it not for electricity, you might swear you had been transported back in time. This place is timeless. The coolest thing about L'abellugu is the people it attracts. Its a hive Asturian artists, poets, musicians and activists. Over the decades the bar has been a favorite of Celtic- Asturian bands Llan de Cubel and Felpeyu. This is the kind of place where anyone could whip out an instrument at any time and revel patrons with a rousing reel or heart-rending ballad. This is the kind of pub that tourists DREAM of discovering. If you want to rub elbows with locals, this is the place to go. Don't be surprised if you don't understand a word they say, because here everyone speaks Asturianu, the language of Asturias. Everyone speaks Spanish too, but the kind of people who frequent L'abellugu don't WANT to speak the language of the that was thrust upon them by the opressive dictator Franco 40 years ago. It's a sore subject in Asturias. L'abellugu celebrates the local language, music, and culture. They have excellent beers on tap, lots of lovely Whiskeys and kreigs as well. The bathroom is scary, but that's pretty much universally the case in Spain anyway. Go and enjoy, but pee in the street. It's okay, really....

In my opinion, the best brewery little known in the area…read more The atmosphere is calm and there is usually not a lot of people. The decor very striking both inside and outside. They have a wide variety of beers at a reasonable price, and normally accompany a drink with something platito (peanuts, popcorn ,...). The waiters are friendly and nice.

Okay, we have to admit, we gave it an extra star simply because we spent the night listening to…read moreleprechaun music in Spain. Not that we like leprechaun music but, in Spain? An ersatz Irish pub well out of the tourist lanes Cerveceria Triskel evidently sits well with the locals....music be damned. This neighborhood hangout does a robust business in take-out food. Not something you see everyday. The clientele looks like a cross representation of the local population with the well dressed mixing well with the not so much. There is a generous supply of complimentary tapas to go along with your drink but the light that shines the brightest here are the burgers. We started out with the idea of a simple hamburger but like most simple things our simple burger got out of hand pretty fast. We don't know how we did it but our burger ended up with: A hamburger patty Two layers of goat cheese Tomato Lettuce Onion Lomo Egg And a sesame seed bun All for 7 euros. And the best part was it was delicious. Cervecería Triskel is a blue collar eats place and we will be sure to wear our best blue collar when we return...which we will.
