"It was no surprise when the power houses behind an ever-growing empire of bars and restaurants, including Atari and Sirimiri, took over another pintxo bar in the Old Town. The shocker came when they turned the basement of Txalupa into a reservations-only, clubstaurant. Book a table in advance and the waiters upstairs will buzz you in to the speakeasy-style spot. The food is a delicious mix of Spanish classics with a twist, like a creamy wild mushroom rice dotted with yuca and a Scotch egg made with blood pudding. An excellent cocktail and wine list and weekend DJ makes this a one-stop shop." - Marti Buckley
