El Globo tavern

One of our favourite pinchos and small raciones experiences en Bilbao. It took some time to get a table outside but we managed and the service was very good. The bartender gave us great recommendations. The crab pincho is nice, I was even more surprised about the blood sausage and peanuts and the tortilla with truffle. Very tasty pinchos. We also tried the smoked tuna and it was so delicious.

The place offers very tasty pintxos and good wine options. Nice choice of food and lovely buzzy atmosphere inside and outside.

.Visited this evening for dinner. Good location, friendly staff and delicious food. I had tuna which was well seasoned and cooked perfectly, crispy outside and a bit pink in the middle. Potato dish was also well seasoned and tasty and tried a bit of meatballs my partner ordered which was very tasty. The photo I added doesn't do the justice, my fault it looked very appetising and I had a mouthful before I remembered to take a pic for the review!

Definitely worth the fuss. Yes it’s not the cheapest pintxos. Yes it’s always extremely crowded but the taste and variety and uniqueness of all the food and wine is amazing. And what is most important they are so nice with customers even when is busy and crowded which is rare in Bilbao. Don’t miss pintxos here they are next level from all the others in the town.

If you're looking for a cool pintxos bar, this is the place to be. They have all sorts of pintxos and you can just walk up to the counter and pick some. It's great for a simple dinner with some drinks. Rotation is high, so if you can't find a spot to sit immediately, you'll probably find a spot if you wait a while. A must try when in Bilbao

The place holds up to its fame: starting from the waiter who made us feel at home and provided the best care. Beside, food was amazing and their tradition pinchos was out of this world. It’s defintely worth it to have dinner here instead of “just” the tapas.

This is super good. The spider carb is a must-have. So creamy and good! Foie is also so so good! Crispy on the outside and so flavourful. Croquettes are also one of the best we have ever eaten!
Tip: Ask for half squid ink and half ibérica if you can’t decide like us! 😛

Very well located with one of the best selections of pintxos in Bilbao. Very busy most of the time. Just order at the counter and eat standing around the counter or try to get a table on the terrace. Good selection of local wine and beer.

Most amazing pintxos I’ve ever had. We loved them so much we went there for lunch one day and dinner the next. I definitely recommend the tortilla with truffle on top, life changing. I ordered a bunch of different ones to try and they were all €2.40 or less, so really well priced as well.

Amazing food. We mainly had pintxos; txsngurro, salmon, avocado, cuttlefish, shrimp. All of them were excellent. The morcilla one is very strong, so I may avoid that one next time.
The place was crowded and people were eating the food standing.

Incredible pinchos, but no place to sit. Fortunately there is a nice seating area near by and we could take our wine class as well.

Amazing pintxos!!!!
You cannot miss the txangurro pintxo from this place, so good!
The place is busy all day long, but the friendly servers are always quick and helpful.

Great place for lunchtime pintxos. A bit more modern than usual. The truffle gratin pintxo and the anchovy with the tartare sauce were exceptional. Good value for money too. Paid under £12 for 5 pintxos and a beer!

Went for the crab gratin and it was so worth it. Crab is probably the signature dish of this bar it got even a decoration of crab. Tried other visually enticing stuff too and almost every one of them is good. Seafood tastes fresh. The atmosphere is great and people seem to have an agreeable vibe at this location. The staff are very friendly too. Strongly recommend for Bilbao center tapas bar hopping.

Great local gem!! Very busy but food is fantastic, highly recommended.

Grab some of their great food, get yourself a 🍷 and sit over there at the library if no other space to stand/sit.

Well deserved pinxtos credentials. The crab was devine

Very busy location, tasty pinxos, friendly and efficient service.

Great pintxos. Great and friendly service if you understand that, when the place is hopping (busy), you'll need to work your way to the bar and order decisively. All kinds of choices from croquettes to mini sandwiches. Try the local beer called 18/70.

Tasty pinxos for a reasonable price. A broad selection of different flavours as well as vegetarian options.
The flair of the outside area is nice on a busy night out. Wait to be seated though, otherwise the waiter can get annoyed.
Inside its mostly people standing and chatting like a typical pub.
