Arraun

This really was an excellent cocktail bar. The drinks we tried looked brilliant and tasted brilliant. There's a massive list to choose from and they were mostly, if not all, signature cocktails to this bar. The owner and guys behind the bar were great, sharing a few basque words with us and recommendations for things to do in San Sebastian. The music was great too. Felt like something that's a different option and a nice change up to all the other pintxos bars in the old town.

A FANTASTIC find on a quiet side street (Google maps often misdirected us to find it). Definitely worth the hunt!

Unique cocktails hand-crafted with care, precision and expertise.

We tried 4 different cocktails, each one had depth of flavour. Each one was explained in detail by the expert bartenders. And each drink has an "origin story."

Definitely not just a cocktail bar, but an experience.

Even their "Classic Manhattan" was superb. (Not on the menu)

We stumbled into this wonderful little spot in the old town near the waterfront and could not be happier we did. Not only was it directly under our Airbnb, the team led by Miguel and Roberto made delicious, wide ranging cocktails with style all underpinned by a killer soundtrack. We tried 7 of their specialty drinks and all were worth a revisit with interesting vessels and detailed descriptions. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back sometime soon.

wow. so far, the ONE cocktail bar in the city. lots of great offerings. spirit forward, inspired ingredients, creative mixology targets, lovely staff. I keep meeting the nicest people. Roberto is the best! the sound track is also freshie fresh.

Arraun is a cozy little craft cocktail bar in the heart of Old Town San Sebastian. The service was top notch, and the drinks were superb.

The team is truly passionate about what they do. The owner was fantastic, his vision fuels the operation. Can't wait to return!

BEST cocktails in San Sebastián. You won’t be disappointed. Owner has worked all over the world. Had the absinthe drinks and he sampled for us a new cocktail in the making.

Don’t sleep on this spot even though it is off the beaten path in Old Town.

First time to Arraun bar. The drinks here are delicious, unique, and resoanable prices
The owner and staffs are very friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very layback and the music is great. I would highly recommend friends or whoever visits Old Town in San Sebastián .

What a pleasant find! Creative, intriguing cocktails with excellent service from some wonderful staff.

Definitely my new favourite cocktail bar from around the world! 😊

I can be a cocktail snob, if you cant do the classics right, it doesnt matter how good your house signature cocktails are.... in the case of Arraun they are the real deal. Michael and his team put their own twist on some classics as well as some truly original (and tasty) creations of their own. As well as this, their service and friendliness is second to none. 5 star plus.

Now, this is one very cool place to relax, chill with a G&T or a cocktail. We came here purely for the Gin. A great selection and the bar staff are very tentative and knowledgeable. Plus, they give you little bowls of Jelly Babies 🤣

Loved the experience, we were lucky to visit off season and got great service and a front seat to the show!
We tried a variety of cocktails across all styles, as well as asking for something off menu, and not one fault!
Well done 👍

Sit at the bar! The owner, Mikhail (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was awesome to chat with. The cocktails were great and it was nice to see some affordable mocktails on the menu, which were garnished up just as much as their alcoholic counterparts. Highly suggest!

After a long night of pinxtos. We wanted a end of the night drink(night cap). Came across this gem hidden on a street corner at the end of the street next to the water.

The first speak easy we came across while in Spain. Amazing selection of drinks, classics but also their own special beverages. Cool decor, awesome ambiance and great service.

Go here!

The is best place for a Good Cocktail and good service. Mikel is a magician. He knows it all about liquors and the mixtures he prepares are the best in Donostia.

Great craft cocktails served with passion and precision. Coming from the US it’s been difficult to find good cocktail bars that serve drinks outside of the basics so I was very pleased to find an extensive and creative menu at this establishment. Owner was super nice and helpful.

Long list of interesting cocktails. Bartender recommended 7th Symphony based on my taste profile. It was a good match but still quite different from the usual suspects so challenges my taste in a good way. Bartender chatted about favorite cocktails. A great experience.

A hidden gem - amazing cocktails and nice atmosphere! Watching the bartenders prepare drinks was a great experience, they do real art. Definitely a recommendation!

Some of the very best cocktails we’ve ever had, the most artistic presentations, and the bartender/owner is just the best! This is a MUST for cocktail lovers visiting San Sebastián. -Ian & Lizzy from San Francisco

Amazing cocktails and incredibly passionate and knowledgeable staff. Can’t recommend strongly enough. If you want amazing cocktails in San Sebastián come here, you will not be disappointed!!! Just do it!!!!!

An incredibly curated experience from start to finish. The bartender has excelled himself with a delicious yet interesting cocktail menu and can make you anything your heart desires should you choose to defer from the list. I couldn’t recommend this place more and I look forward to further exploring the menu! Bravo!
