"If you're a newbie to the world of cider, this Basque-style cidery and restaurant is a great place to dive in. The menu is divided into sections like "Bright" and "Fruit-Forward"; there's also a section for ciders meant to be poured from up on high for proper aeration—quite a dramatic spectacle. That's not the only exciting pouring method here: order a porrón , and you can funnel your drink directly into your mouth. The menu also features cider cocktails, vermouth, wine, and sherry. The food offerings focus on pintxos, or bite-size snacks traditionally served in Spanish bars, like salt-cod fritters, olive oil–poached tuna on toast, or the croquettes of the day. Larger plates include crispy fried shrimp and Spanish-style barbecue ribs." - Adele Chapin
