    Great for pintxos! Ask the waitress/waiter if you’re unsure what to choose. We got a mix of cold and hot. All really good, especially the crab! Here is the Morcilla and Goat cheese

    Really enjoyed their famous spider crab gratin and the squid gratin. Very reasonable prices.

    For my personal taste, many of the pintxos were a little too creamy but the tuna bit with the onion on top was to die for! 👌🏼 Generally, a great selection of tapas/ pintxos.😊

    Excellent Pinxto! Go to the bar to order ! The Salamon Marinado was the best! Make Sure to order a glass of cider!

    Outstanding pintxos! Try the black squid pate with cheese, the foie with jelly. The staff is alright and the ambience is Ok

    Took a few aborted attempts to get here, but worth the effort. Quickly became my favourite in Bilbao. Such good pinchos. The kids rated it joint best tortilla in Spain (in a non-exhaustive test)

    Pintxos with many choices look at the 2 sides of the bar! Enjoy with a copa of white wine or a natural sidra.

    Great, great, great. El Globo is my favorite among all pintxos bars after zealously trying more than 10 of those in Basque country.

    Strongly recommended: fungus small cake, txangurro mini-toast, gratin codfish. Go there before 11 pm if you want to taste it! Enjoy tasty pintxos in the city center!

    Try the gratinated spider crab pintxos. Incredible. Lovely place to stand outside when the weather is good.

    Awesome!!! Better than Viña del Ensanche(viña Ensanche is more Posh)" and expensive). Txangurro and Atun Rojo a must with txakoli.

    Very good value. If you want to eat a lot, come here. Tapas are between 1.50€ and 3€ and the quality is good!

    For those who got tired of pintxos, try "special" salad and squid croquettes;) Don't forget a jar of sangria .

    Welcome to the king of pintxos. Not sure if the best ones, but probably the most visually spectacular bar.

    Gets mega busy, but turnaround of tables is quite quick. Queue up for the terrace seats for less sweat, shoving and volume.

    Bence karşısındaki bardan daha uygun fiyatlı ve sıcak bir yer. Çok tapas yemedik ama yediklerimiz güzeldi. Buraya daha fazla lokal geliyor sanki.

    El gratinado de txipiron y el de txangurro son obras maestras absolutas. Los mejores pintxos de la zona de Diputación.

    Esta todo buenísimo. El bacalao gratinado es como mousse excelente y el atún espectacular. Un trato, buen precio. Es un lugar de pintxos seguro.
