Bihotz

Great little cafe bar with 5 taps pouring quality craft beer with great service. The food was great, especially the gildas served with a mini Bloody Mary! The music was class too.

Such a great bar. It's small and cosy. The staff are really helpful and friendly. There's a great selection of local beers, all delicious. Even if you're only in Bilbao for a few hours, make the effort, it's worth it. The sandwiches looked class too.

Tiny, nice place, very good craft beer selection (on tap & canned). Some pintxos available.

Came for the coffee and was not disappointed. The owner really knows his stuff. We tried the specialty filter coffee and it was amazing. He even served it in ceramic cups he made himself—we were lucky to be the first to use them! Loved the whole vibe. Definitely coming back.

I ordered the hot chocolate and got the absolute best hot chocolate I have tried in so long!! Also for the price I paid, definitely recommend and would go there again! :)

So glad I discovered this gem. Food and drinks are simply excellent quality! (Sandwich & carrot cake 👌) And the interior is very hip with a lot of attention to detail. Owner is a very nice chap, too. Thank you.

I visted here in early December 23 and have to say I wasn't dissapointed. OK, it's only a small place, so it can quickly fill up. So my advice is to get here early. What it lacks in size it makes up for in warmth, friendliness & intimacy. The beer choices whilst limited (by lack of space) are quite impressive and it's fairly obvious that the owner has a good knowledge of craft ales. The choices range from IPA's, Porters, Stouts, to Pilners & Belguim types. On the evenings of our visits there were 6 beers on tap, 3 IPA's, 1 x Porter, 1 x Belguim Dubbel & 1 x Pilsner, not to mention and impressive selection of craft ales in tins (inc some from the UK) The bar's small size can make it a bit squashed at times (especially when it gets busy) but there are a few small tables around the back with a sprinkling of extra chairs & stools. In the worst case scenario there are even a couple of small tables & chairs outside on the street, however the street footpath is narrow & also very steep (Oh & it needs to be dry!) There are two small toilets to the left & rear of the bar (both very clean) On our visits we had the opportunity to sample a few of the bar snacks, both the hummus & the carrot cake were delicious. I can also recommend the hot chocolate & coffee which were equally of top quality. Overall this bar was a great find and despite it's small size I would highly recommend it. The owner is a lovely guy (who speaks better English than my Spanish) and also very helpful. If you're not sure about anything, just ask. To add just a footnote, the bar is located just a short walk from the Ibarreko Zubia footbridge, but be aware if you're not good on your feet it is quite a steep little climb.

Loved on every level. Wonderful service. Great tea, wine and beer tasted and a beautiful environment set up.

Fantastic craft beer bar in Bilbi! The barkeep was awesome and you couldn't beat the atmosphere. Super relaxed vibe in an unpretentious setting. Be sure to grab a cheese plate and a pan con tomate.

Bihotz Cafe is amazing as they focus on my two favorite things - espresso and craft beer. On their craft beer tap I was shocked to see Modern Times all the way from San Diego. They also had beers from Germany, Belgian, and locally from Pamplona. I opted for the double IPA from Pamplona and it was excellent. The cafe is near the river but still in a unique spot on a hill. I highly recommend.

Part craft beer bar, part coffee shop, part neighborhood hangout, Bihotz has it all! Bihotz is located in Bilbao la Vieja, across the river from the Old Town. Once you make it over, you will likely find people overflown into the street in front, a welcoming crown inside, and a bartender proudly serving some of the Basque regions best beers on tap. I had a few while I was here and was happy with everything I drank. If you are a coffee fan, the best espresso I had in Bilbao was pulled here. They have a small set up, basically in the corner, but they know how to use the machine and are buying good quality beans.

We stopped at Bihotz while visiting Bilbao for a few hours. After doing a lot of research on coffee in Bilbao, Bihotz was definitely a place we looked at stopping in based on a few articles on Sprudge. We opted for cortados and since it was early on in the day, breakfast toasts. Being from San Francisco, we're used to seeing toasts on cafe menus - usually with something like avocado or fruit on top. At Bihotz, the first toast that caught my eye was the Nutella toast. Yes please! The toast itself wasn't something I was expecting either - it looked like maybe a pita bread or a flat-ish piece of toast. In any case, this was delicious and the coffee was great. The decor here is also really cool, and had been around later on in the day, trying one of their craft beers seemed to be a must-try item too!

Coffee... good. Toasted sandwiches... delish. Atmosphere... relaxed & chilled out. Craft beer... awesome! In a couple of words, what are you waiting for!?

best beer place in Bilbao? not sure but right up there. nice location, great staff... small and chill. 5 taps or so...real good
