Bar La Tranca

Authentic tapas bar with delicious drinks and (obviously) tapas. Everything we ordered tasted amazing! We loved the vibe so much that we came back two nights in a row! Seemed to be a local favorite as well. I wish they had an English Menu though - still working on my Spanish.

Vibrant, lively, noisy in a good way which added to the great atmosphere. Music was playing, the customers and staff were singing along. Staff were friendly and attentive. The service was good, considering that it was mid afternoon and the bar was packed with customers. We were sat at the bar eating tapas and drinking wine. The food and wine was good. We have added La Tranca to our 'Must visit' list when in Málaga on a 'tapas crawl' and are looking forward to our next visit.

A friendly little bar busy with locals and visitors. Despite to my shame understanding little Spanish at all the barman was extremely friendly and happy to take the time to explain the tapas dishes to us in English and give his own recommendations. A total of 2 glasses of wine, 2 large IPA beers and enough food to leave us very full (we had 3 empanadas to share on top of the photo which came shortly after came to 43 euros and we left very happy. I would absolutely recommend it as a great place at lunch or dinner.

A friend from Malaga recommended this bar and I stopped by two separate times. Once for lunch and then after dinner. The atmosphere is very local with authentic music. The bar itself is almost always packed, but if you’re patient you can get a stool and that’s all you need! Order the almond sauce meatballs, jamón y queso empanadas, and shishito peppers. A glass of house wine is about €2.5. They don’t need a card to open a tab, the tab is tracked with chalk on the bar top! We felt super intimidated at first but within minutes a friendly bar patron started chatting with us, then more and more people chatted us. We had a blast and couldn’t be happier to have the experience. 10/10 recommend.

We absolutely loved the vibrant atmosphere and the warm, energetic service provided by the staff. Their traditional approach added a charming authenticity to our experience. We sampled a variety of tapas, and the prawn and chorizo skewers were both fresh and flavorful, while the patatas bravas exceeded all our expectations. Plus, the prices are very reasonable.

The Spanish bar you have been looking for. Extremely friendly staff and fantastic service with a great range of drinks and tapas. Also great Spanish music and a great vibe. Highly recommended.

This is a place like it should be, music is great no pop shit. Food is tasty and wine is good 😊. No table service because they are busy serving everyone 😊. Ask for a menu and make a list then ask at the bar. Food comes when it's ready, drink more wine while you wait. Overall it's a small place with good food and good wine and good music and good service.

Such a cool vibe! The staff calculate the bill with chalk on the bench. Super welcoming and always busy. Good music and lots of cheap food and drink options.
