The 10 Best Nightlife in San Sebastian - Donostia, Basque Country
While many visitors come for the beaches, arts celebrations and fiestas, San Sebastian-Donostia is serious about its food and drink. The Old Quarter’s narrow, winding streets are full of bars and restaurants, and in the modern city, sidewalk cafes are all around. The city specializes in seafood. Just make sure you know not to expect dinner at 6 or 7 p.m.—that’s much too early in Spain. Instead, tide yourself over with tapas, and enjoy eating and drinking late into the night.

Born in San Sebastian, Basque Country, I’m an enthusiastic person who loves travelling and sharing my knowledge and experiences with people. I visited over 50 countries and guided travellers for over 10 years. Travelling around the world in one of my big trips, over 14 months, made me decide to change my life to set up this bussiness to offer the travellers an unique view of the Basque Country & Rioja and surroundings like a local. If you are looking for real local Basque guides, you found it!

We stumbled on this bar after wondering around San Sebastian late in the evening and it was a very memorable find! My wife and I are both whiskey lovers, and the selection here did not disappoint. We tried a few scotches (Jura if I recall) and then I noticed a bottle of Blanton's Gold edition tucked away behind the bar. Well, three pours later (!) we were having an especially fantastic evening. The pours were extremely generous to boot! After a few hours sipping, laughing, and enjoying a few bar snacks (unexciting), we met the owner. His english was limited, our spanish was limited, but we had a great time joking about bourbon, US politics, and a variety of other topics. When we decided it was time to go, he asked us for our names, which we wrote out on a napkin. He indicated that we should stay seated and hurried to the back. When he came back, he brought us each a "Diploma de Catador de Whisky" (i.e. taster of whiskey) that looks quite official but is clearly just a nice marketing device for his bar. Still, we loved it, took them home, and proudly display them next to our bourbon collection. It was a great night. But about those great pours...the bill was a lot higher than we were expecting! ;) Oh, well - we paid for some awesome bourbon, have a great souvenir, and a great story. Cheers!

This is a popular, much-loved drinking spot in Gros offering more than 100 varieties of gin. Tell the bartender whether you like - herbal, aromatic or something unusual and they will recommend a gin and then provide you with a show with an amazing array of botanicals and techniques to match. Your gin will be infused with fresh botanicals and a cube of dry ice followed by a spray of a range of scents both inside and outside of the glass. We challenged the bartender to make a passion fruit gin and tonic (something he candidly admitted he had never been asked to make before) and he did it with aplomb. Whatever gin you choose, you are in for one of the best mixed drinks of your life.
