Kubrick Bar Bilbao

As the name suggests, this place is dedicated to the great director Stanley Kubrick. Posters and screens recall memorable scenes from his movies, and you will find yourself in a very cinematic setting. While the bar mainly serves evening guests, it also offers breakfast and meals at any time of day. Stop by to experience one of their shows, outdoor live music, cabarets, or parties.

Bars & Nightlife

The Basque Country is known for its abundance of bars, and Bilbao is no exception, boasting more than 3.15 bars per thousand inhabitants. The Casco Viejo (Old Town) is the go-to spot for bars, particularly around Plaza Nueva. In central Bilbao, Calle Ledesma and Licenciado Poza are the main areas for bar hopping and indulging in local favourites. While beer is the drink of choice for most young locals, traditional options include red Rioja wine, 'txakoli' (a very dry white wine), and 'kalimotxo' (a popular combination of cola and red wine). For a unique and unforgettable night out, try visiting a typically Basque cider tavern or 'sagardotegi', where you can feast on char-grilled meat and drink copious amounts of cider.
