El Globo tavern

A bit of a disappointment as all 3 of the pintxos I had were pretty unremarkable. The fried baby squid was the best but, still, nothing special. The broiled bacalao pintxos was creamy and pretty tasteless. Service was fine, but there's no inside seating and the place is just not pleasant in general (the terrace does seem nice).

If you want to try the famous “pintxos” you can find them here. They have a variety and are exquisitely delicious. You can pair them with an Aguila beer. The service is good. Inside, there are no chairs to sit on, just bar-style tables, but the atmosphere is pleasant. I recommend visiting this place.

Recommended by our Abnb host, we visited and got hooked! There’s an incredible variety of pintxos and each one we tried (8 types) were delicious. A good selection of wine and desert pintxos rounds out a great culinary experience. Returning today with the goal of eventually trying every pintxo they have.

You heard about El Globo and it’s true: a great pintxos experience in the heart of Bilbao. We have tried many other pintxos bars but this one stood out as one of the better ones. Fast and efficient service, the pintxos are heated and served, you eat and drink at the counter. While the space seems small, the rotation is quick and El Globo is a great stop on a pintxos bar hoping tour. Highly recommended P.S.: if this review was helpful, please leave a quick ❤️ and thank you for it 🙏

Was a very unique tasting experience as I’ve never tried pintxos like this before. We came on a Saturday night so it was a battle to get the attention of the waitress to order some food. It got really crowded and loud inside so a lot of people stood outside to eat. We definitely recommend trying the crab pintxos as the strong flavour was delicious.

They offer a variety of pintxos with inventive flavor combinations. I highly recommend the vaca madura con trufa and chipirón gratinado. There is plenty of room for eating inside the restaurant; you can choose to stand at the bar or eat at bistro tables.

Amazing experience, great food, good good-quality, I highly recommend the scallops. Pinxos were really nice as well and if you can, get a Kendall for a drink, you won't regret it!

Very disappointing and unsafe experience Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. My friends and I ordered the tapas tasting menu along with the house special, a crab-based dish. Not only was the food overpriced for what we received, but shortly after dining, every person in our group experienced symptoms of food poisoning. It completely ruined the rest of our evening and the next days.
