SEBASTIAN PINTXOS BAR

The downstairs 818 Speakeasy Lounge was such a quiet vibe. Food and service was amazing. Our waitress Tier was phenomenal! She was super nice and cater to us. I had the opportunity to get the Salmon, calamari, roasted Brussels sprouts. The hookah was AMAZING! This is for great for date night & girls night

Had an amazing experience here! Our waiter, Arda, was super friendly and attentive. He really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Big thanks also to Diana, the manager, who was so warm and welcoming ,you can tell she really cares about the guests. The food was delicious too. Overall a great vibe and definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!!

Cool vibe, drinks were good. Ricotta salmon dish was best we got. Chicken hand roll was hard to eat and was basically chicken salad in a cone, potatoes lacked toppings, basically just mustard and wasn’t classy with the fast food paper. Sesame chicken bites were good chicken pieces but lacked flavor and the sauce was quite flavorless. Overall might be a good spot for drinks but not worth the money compared to other tapas spots in Atlanta.

A group of six made a recent visit. We couldn't find anything wrong with this restaurant. The food, drinks, or the service. Individually, as unsuspected pairs, we will be returning to find out their food and service flaws. Until then, these ratings will have to stand. If you are in the area, very much worthy of a visit!

SEBASTIAN Pintxos Bar is an absolute gem! From the bold, Basque-inspired flavors to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, every detail is thoughtfully curated—just like the food. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this incredible space and their beautiful dishes, and it’s easily one of the most visually captivating spots I’ve worked with. The photos on their website truly reflect the care and creativity that goes into every plate—and I’m proud to have captured that experience through my lens. Whether you’re a foodie, a fan of Spanish cuisine, or just looking for your next great night out, SEBASTIAN is a must-visit. 📸 Shot by yours truly – @ShotByMK .com

Super good experience in this night place. I don’t usually go to discos or places like that but in this occasion, I went for a EDM event of DJs. This place had two atmospheres that makes the disco/bar/restaurant really good to go with friends. In my experience I just stay in the downstairs VIP area enjoying the performance of different DJs, super good vibes. The only inconvenient of the night was when I arrived and looking for where parking, I full recommend the parking indoor that is just diagonal to the right in front of the restaurant, no expensive and really accessible. For sure I will go again to this place to more events and enjoy of all the areas of the restaurant.

Sebastian Pintxos Bar is a great spot with a welcoming and stylish vibe. I dined downstairs in the 818 Speakeasy Lounge—no password required. The space is dimly lit with a cozy, upscale atmosphere, full bar, and complete menu service. The 818 lounge offers a smaller bar area that seats around 8 or so, plus a few sections for groups, making it feel inclusive and relaxed. Though there was dancing upstairs, the downstairs lounge had its own vibe—I could only hear the music, which added to the ambiance without being overwhelming. Located off Juniper, parking can be tight, so I recommend using a public parking deck or rideshare. There is a small public lot next to the restaurant, but it fills up quickly. I am looking forward to returning—especially since they host game day viewings for NFL and basketball both upstairs and downstairs. Be safe and enjoy!

I went for Taco Tuesday . The service was excellent and speedy. Shoutout to the bartender Teardrop, she was awesome. My old fashioned drink was on point. The food was great, I ordered the Mediterranean Hummus and veggie tacos.

Oh M Gee!!! Everything about this place is perfect. The waiting staff were super nice and energetic. The doormen were such gentlemen. My bartenders Noah and AJ were such a vibe, they actually knew how to mix drinks and serve with a smile. The food is delicious and, despite there being an event, I did not have to wait long. I cannot wait to return I especially love the fact that it is a hookah-free environment. Everyone seemed so polite. The place was filled with beautiful people inside and out.

We live across the street. We WANT to love this place. Sadly, our third time in and still disappointed. My husband got an old fashioned - that was clear and tasted like sugar water. Not sure what it was. Waited for manager or anyone to come by - manager said different liquors have different colors. Bourbon is brown. And bitters. Got a new drink (that was good) and as manager dropped off he said that what happens when the ice melts and it gets watered down. It came that way. Got a second round of different drinks that were ok. I liked the Mexican mule but Paloma was a little odd.

Visited this week for a first time try. Nice atmosphere. Service was fast. Feel that's based on everything be prepared in advance and processed and no flavor. Only the beet salad and the artichokes had flavor.

This is a cool and versatile place. I felt like I had a good mix of feeling like I'm at a bar and restaurant in the middle of a day party. The downstairs bar is a nice spot to host an intimate gathering before moving your party upstairs to the openness. My service that day was pretty good as well.

We were in Atlanta for three nights and all of the food has been completely amazing. This place is okay. Nothing special. The brussel sprouts were very good. Beef empanada alright. Hummus completely bland and flavorless. Very disappointing. Margaritas ok. We came at happy hour and were talked into a carafe ($40/6) to realize they were $5 each. Anyway, there is too much fantastic food in Atlanta to eat here. When I was asked about the food, I advised the hummus was tasteless. They did reduce my bill, but I didn't complain for that reason. But they were nice about it. They did insist everyone loved their hummus. But they must not have eaten good hummus.

I went for the mixology class they host. It's very small inside but still a good setup with a bar area. I did the class for a friend that really wanted to go but we both said we wouldn't do it again. It could've been more organized with a better schedule of when food was coming out and drinks would be made. We made three drinks. I was under the impression we'd be making four though. We did a fruity mixed drink, an old fashioned, and an expresso martini. My biggest problem with that night is I was hungry and didn't want to drink too much before I actually got some food. Food is promoted and included in this so everyone was so confused on where the food actually was. My friend and I got a few things from the happy hour menu because that's all they were offering. Most did actually having similar thoughts to me. Well eventually a plate of food did come out. My table was kind of upset because we'd JUST ordered food off the menu. Like why not tell us when the food that's supposed to be included is actually coming out? There was no acknowledgement of any food period until they just started coming from the back with all these plates. It was an interesting experience. Maybe ours just wasn't the best but I don't think it was what we were expecting.

Wow. As long as I don't vomit right now I'll call it a victory. Frozen empanada, watered down "drinks", and orders that never arrived. Pork belly was woefully overcooked. Seriously I never give less than a 4 (and that takes work), but this place did it! Avoid it like the plague, that I hopefully didn't catch from my undercooked food. Very slow service for both food and drinks. Manager was not apologetic. Don't come here. Period.

This place is beautiful. I unfortunately took only mental pictures this time. We came around 6 on Saturday and there was no wait time. The hostess did mention they prefer reservations to be made when parties are larger. I ordered the guava paradise drink, my friend had el matador. The guava was definitely the better drink, el matador had a smoky taste to it which wasn't bad but it was sort of overpowering the drink entirely. We ordered the sautéed shrimp, patatas fritas, and ceviche. Presentation alone was 5 stars. These are tapas so the plates are small and not full meals just FYI. The sautéed shrimp were my personal favorite. The other plates were also delicious. I'd love to try other options next time.

This is what the standard for service and hospitality should be everywhere. The food was fresh and tastes amazing. Great atmosphere and ambience for the perfect night out with family or friends. Elaina was amazing and very attentive, knowledgeable and just a sweetheart. Definitely earned a loyal customer.

I loove this restaurant. It has not only a gorgeous interior but the exterior and patio section is just so cute. I visited for happy hour and enjoyed their paloma and shrimp ceviche. As much as I liked the shrimp ceviche I just wish I there were more chips to match the portion size of the ceviche. I look forward to returning to try more on the menu

If you like happy hour head over to the place the food is so delicious. The drinking or yummy and pretty. The food came out to quick the waiter was quick and accurate. This a cute place for a date night content day a must take a picture place .

San Sebastien Spain is one of our favorite stops in the world. More Michelin rated restaurants than anywhere. Sebastian Pintxos does a great job to replicate the dozens of Spanish tapas places. We tried about 10 different Pintxos and loved 9 of 10 (ok still an A+) grade! Love this place. Check it out!

Sebastian Pintxos Bar has become my go-to spot for happy hour in midtown, and I've been here a total of four times now. It's safe to say I've fallen in love with this place! The happy hour menu is a great , and what's even better is that most items are under $10. My absolute favorites from their menu include the Bombas de Iberico, which are ham and manchego cheese croquettes that burst with flavor in every bite. Then there are the papas bravas, crispy duck fat potatoes seasoned with paprika and served with rosemary aioli. They are a must-try! The sesame de pollo is another winner - these sesame chicken bites paired with the sesame citrus aioli are so good. And don't even get me started on the brochetas de ternera - tenderloin skewers with basil lemon aioli that are simply perfection! Now, let's talk drinks. My personal favorites are the strawberry spritz and the blood orange spritz. One thing to note is that they do get quite busy, especially as happy hour draws to a close (from 5-7pm, Monday to Friday), so make sure to get there early to secure your spot and your food will come out much more quickly. As the clock inches closer to 7pm, expect your items to arrive a tad slower due to the rush. To make things even more convenient, there's a parking deck located across the street. So, if you're looking for a fantastic happy hour spot in midtown with a variety of options and reasonable prices, Sebastian Pintxos Bar is the place to be. You won't be disappointed!

Food was amazing. Everything beautifully plated and tasty. Bartender was great as well. Loved their hh specials. 5-7pm m-f though on tuesdays they just do the taco Tuesday menu (empanadas etc). Patatas bravas a must! The bombas as well! I loved the chicken bites - sesame de pollo The beef skewers great as well They missed our pork dish. Service was spotty but maybe bc we were at a bar table instead of a regular table and maybe bc we were doing hh. The manager went above and beyond and made our visit memorable. Id def be back for hh or a regular dinner since everything was great besides the service but the big tables seemed to be getting great service as well as the bar :)

On my quest to find great restaurants close to the Fox Theater, we came across this amazing gem! Sebastian Pintxos Bar has a beautifully decorated interior. The service was fantastic and the food is the star of the show! We came with a group and was able to try a lot of dishes on the menu: Charcuterie tower Fresh west coast oysters Ricotta con crema de Limon Shishito peppers Papas bravas Championes a la parilla Panza de cerdo Pulpo a la Vida Tarta de queso vasca Flan catalan Everything was delicious. My personal favorite was the Papas bravas. They were super crispy on the outside with a ton of very thin layers of tasty potatoes. The sauce were both flavorful and complimentary to the potatoes. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!

Beautiful venue, friendly bartenders, and great house music on a Friday. My friend and I went here to see a specific DJ play- we didn't try any food. But we sat at the bar to have some drinks and shots and our bartender "O" was great !

I had such a fun time here with my friends on a Saturday night for salsa class. It's truly low stakes but also allows for those with the experience of the world to do what they want as the dance floor is of moderate size (minus a beam). Drinks were a little pricey but presented and tasted decent. Tapas as expected are small and are intended to be ordered in groups. Since only a small portion of us were hungry we shared their Papas bravas and Ham and cheese croquettes. They came out of the kitchen quickly with a mix of chipotle sauce or mayonnaise based sauce. A little too salty in my opinion but still did the trick. Overall, I would like to come again. Staff were attentive and as efficient as they could be. Would recommend to others.

Ah not sure where to start with this one. I'll start with the actual meal and give thoughts about other stuff at the end. So we came here for dinner for Valentine's Day. We made a reservation, which seemed like a good idea because the inside was pretty packed. There is another section of the restaurant downstairs but I didn't see what the deal was down there. From other yelp photos it looks cute and like they have a bar. We started with the oysters, delicious. Second dishes were the pork belly and octopus. I loved the octopus, but the pork belly wasn't my favorite. It was a little greasy, probably because they had shoe string fries under it with garlic aioli. My boyfriend loved it, so I really think that dish is just preference related. Then we got the pan seared trout and ricotta jam. The ricotta jam comes with sourdough bread and we asked for a side of raw veggies because my boyfriend has celiac, a medical condition not preference. The waiter seemed immediately nervous and stuttered that he would ask the kitchen. I pointed out that there's raw veggies with the hummus platter and asked, "can you just put some on the side? We'll pay for it." I get it was a holiday, but I wasn't asking for anything they already didn't have or needed to cook. It's raw veggies lol but whatever they said no. A bummer to not accommodate. So my bf couldn't really eat that. He tried a few scoops with a fork but that was it. Pan seared trout was great! Probably one of my favorite dishes. I didn't take a photo of the shishito peppers but they were good. Cooked nicely with some sea salt. The most disappointing part of the meal was the garlic shrimp. It wasn't garlicky or flavorful. Here's my thing, the actual dining experience felt a little tense? We had an extra pork belly delivered to our table and when we told the food runner we already received this dish a random person was basically in our face 2 seconds later saying 'what's wrong??' I said 'Nothings wrong, we just already received this.' It was bizarre. Might be the stress of a holiday. We eat out all of the time and you can tell when the vibe is off. I think we'll come back and sit at the bar. It looked fun and little more our speed. Apparently they have DJs at night. Our cousins came a few weeks ago and said they had a nice night. So taking it all into consideration! Hope it's helpful!

I came for my best friends birthday. The ambience was amazing, this is such a beautiful establishment, they have a "speakeasy" downstairs that provides a more calmer vibe if the live music is too loud. The food was hit or miss, I loved the lamp chops, the squash, and the mussels however our paella was one of the worst I ever had. The seafood was a tad too "fishy" for my liking, I found it strange bc the mussels dish by itself was good but we suspected it was bc of the sauce. Our server was amazing and attentive.

My FAVORITE spot for happy hour! I can't recommend Sebastian's enough!! My friends and I also stayed past happy hour for salsa lessons inside Friday's at 8. The staff, atmosphere, prices, drinks and food are all too good to be true.

You will get a uncharted for ordering at the bar. I'm visiting from out of town and thought this might be a really nice place to go. I started off by ordering at the bar. Then transitioned to a sitting area. They also for some reason did not combine the checks.

Overall, I had high hopes for this place and was longing to go here for a while. The decor and ambience was so lively and lovely. After 8pm on a Saturday, the live music starts and so does the salsa dancing. Everyone is open to jump up and join in. It was so fun to watch or dance. We ordered the octopus and calamari for starters. The octopus was cooked to perfection. The texture was great with a little bit of crispy edges and the flavor was pleasing. The calamari was good too. I had the cava sangria as my drink and that was refreshing with beautiful presentation consisting of flowers. We also had the seafood paella. That was disappointing for me. Especially as someone who has had authentic paella in Spain and other places. It tasted like the frozen premade paella you can get from Trader Joe's. I was underwhelmed and have had much better. Plus, it was quite small of a portion for the price. The mussels we had also smelled like feet and had an off taste.

Went on Taco Tuesday! After 8pm. They close at 12am. It was chill vibes with music playing. We sat on the patio that faces Juniper street. The decor is SUPER cute! Great for pictures! Food 10/10: baby those Papas Bravas....layered crunchy soft goodness! The shrimp taco was perfect because the shrimp was chopped so I didn't have to do the most when biting into it! The empanada was really good with some great sauces!! It reminded me of corn dog batter. The chicken inside was shredded and just yummy to my tummy! Lastly for dessert we got the Bunuelos which came with this nice passion fruit custard that I thought was perfect to cut the sweetness. I'll definitely be back. Preferably on Friday because they have entertainment then! I'd recommend to anyone!

This place was probably a 3.5 for me! I came for a happy hour while in town for work and sat outside. It was warm and quite quiet, so I had a big portion of the deck to myself. The happy hour menu included a selection of drinks and food items. I went for a paloma and the croquettes. The ceviche shows as part of the happy hour online but I don't think it actually was in reality, but I ordered it anyway. I also did an order of the calamari. The paloma was disappointing - quite sweet and clearly made with an oversweetened cheap grapefruit juice concentrate. The croquettes were good (just four little balls per serving) and came with a very tasty dipping sauce. The shrimp ceviche was yummy but didn't come with enough chips, so I had to ask for another serving. The calamari was good but not very memorable.

Wow, the best restaurant experience we've had in a while. We were there with a party of 6 around 7:45 pm on a Saturday night. Literally every one of us said that we could not find fault in any of the dishes we ordered. This included dishes like the papas bravas, pork belly, gambas, whipped ricotta, both octopus dishes (carpaccio and cooked), calamari, beef skewers, and seafood paella. The cocktails were well presented. Stellar service! At one point our waiter came by with a round of shots that I presume were on the house. Each plate was around $20 (cocktails similarly priced) so this wasn't cheap but definitely well worth it. The portions were pretty decent for tapas style. Unbeknownst to us, there was a dance instructor and full on dance party. The DJ took requests. This was a lot of fun particularly as our table was right on the dance floor. We'll definitely be returning!

Food was great, sangria was refreshing and cheesecake with a unique burnt sugar top was a big hit. Service was competent without being intrusive. We were well served. There was a party going on inside while we were outside. The party was a bit loud at times but nothing beyond what we normally experience in the modern restaurant. Once the party ended, the atmosphere was relaxed- how we would prefer when dining out. Casual conversations was easy to follow with the phones put away and enjoying the company of dinner companions. Tip was included in the bill (20%). However, the bill gave the option to add more without noting 20% was already included. This apparently "shady" practice lead me to give only 4 stars.

Incredible new addition to the Tapas/Pinxtos scene in Atlanta. Cocktails and food were creative & fresh.

Came here for happy hour right at 5 on the dot on a Friday! And good thing we did because by 5:15pm it was beginning to get filled up. The happy menu is great! Most dishes range from $5-7, & theres a sampler plate for $15. We got the duck fat fried potatoes, steak skewers, chicken bites and shisto peppers. We followed up with the trout fillet. I liked that most things come with a small arugula salad- we all could use more greens! Everything was tasty. And the drinks were flowing. I had the expresso martini which came topped with charred coffee beans that was flame roasted at our table. Added a nice touch to the aroma of the beverage. Our servers were very attentive, they left no cup empty and checked in with us frequently. I'll be back for salsa night!

I would love to give this place 5 stars but I left hungry and it was pricey. I know it's a tapas place but wow I felt we ordered a lot and did not get full and paid a lot . However , the food and drinks did not disappoint . The place itself is super cute , from the entrance it's already picture worthy / instagramable . We were a group of 4 and ordered drinks first . I was in the mood for a spicy margarita and so the bartender converted the bow tie party cocktail into a spicy tequila drink for me- it was delicious. We shared everything (I do this often at tapas places and always leave full but not this time ). Not featured in the pictures was our fresh west coast oysters - these were so so good . We had the coles de Brussels , the viera de ceviche , the tarter de atun picante , papas bravas , Pulpo a la vida , bombas de iberico, the marisco paella & the ricotta con crema de limon . Everything was really great , the taste was all there and I would definitely recommend everything we ate. I would just say to maybe come here on a special occasion as it's not cheap and the portions are small. Other than that , everything was really good and I'd recommend this spot .

3 stars mainly for the service from Carlos other than that the food itself would be 1 star at best. I came with a group so this wasn't my choice but as I sat and looked at other Yelp reviews I should've just drank my wine and ate elsewhere. I had a glass of Moscato it was good crisp and sweet. For my appetizer I asked for the ceviche it took 30 min to receive and came out after my entree. I think he forgot but he said sorry for the wait the kitchen needed to thaw out the ceviche but promises it would be good and fresh. That should've been the first and final red flag but I was like there's no way he's serious. Well he was bc the fish definitely tasted like it had been in the back of the freezer I took one bite and left it. I wanted to order the Veal but like other reviews it was unavailable. If so many can't order it just take it off the menu. I requested the Paella instead and was left disappointed again. The rice was so crunchy and the mussels had a weird taste. I'm not sure if there was sausage in it but those pieces were severely over cooked. After taxes and gratuity my check was $87 bc I was charged for still and sparkling water two things I said no thanks to but bc others ordered it they charged everyone but that's the norm at other places but if I knew I would've at least got a glass of water lol The overall aesthetic of the place reminds we of restaurants on Miami south beach strip

Sebastian's was a perfect place for a large group birthday celebration. The decor is fun and the people are kind. We were here on a Friday night and they had a beautiful talented flamenco dancer. I was very impressed with the timing of the drinks and food with our larger group. There were so many delicious dishes that came across our table. We enjoyed dozen of the fresh west coast oysters. I liked their twist on the mignonette with apple and cucumber. A group got the shishito peppers, whipped ricotta, olives, charred Artichokes hearts, papas Bravas, and all of it was yummy. I split the mussels and pasta with the birthday girl but we tried a bite of everyone's food. It was a perfect meal. We had so many drinks and they were all delectable.

Our table of seven enjoyed our meal. The food was ok. But the service was excellent. Elina was our server and she never lost her smile for even a moment. She was lighthearted and it was clear she enjoyed interacting with her patrons. She was excellent. The only issue with dining here is that there's a parking lot on the corner that has both a functioning parking meter machine and also there's a QR code on a couple signs. It's confusing which one to use to pay the (expensive) parking. We used the machine. And when we came out of the restaurant before our phone told us the parking session was over, the car had been booted. The parking lot attendant stated that the machine doesn't tell him a payment has been made. Only the QR code works for parking in this lot. We told him that if you have a working meter machine and a QR code, how are we supposed to know that only one works? He wouldn't have any of it. His name was Andre and he was extremely rude and argumentative. He harassed me and the other diners in our party. After paying the $75 for him to open the boot on the car, I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager. He said, "we do everything we can to avoid this form happening." I asked him, "ok. So tell me. What is it that you do?" He couldn't list anything. I told him that if he wants to avoid negative reviews and a loss of business, he needs to be more proactive in warning customers to either not park in that lot, or only pay using the posted QR code. I suggested he print the QR code and put it on a sign at his front door telling customers they will be booted if they don't pay using that code. To his credit, the manager offered to give us a gift card. But we are very unhappy having to stand outside in a dark Midtown parking lot at 10pm arguing with the attendant. And we will most likely not be returning.

Great food, great service and a nice outdoor seating area. Love their happy hour deals. Everything I ordered was delicious but the fried Brussels, shrimp ceviche & skirt steak are a must.

Beautiful restaurant - the flowers and decorations make this a very aesthetically pleasing spot. The live music is very loud, which makes it difficult to hear anything. The food was hit or miss for me. The pulpo was delicious, but the gambas wasn't that good. Other reviews are right, the plates are tiny and the prices are high. Each small plate was about $20.

I came here for dinner on a Friday night after hearing some positive recommendations, but I was not particularly impressed. My thoughts on the food and atmosphere were both mixed, and I was a bit underwhelmed by the service. I made a reservation although it seemed like we may not have needed one; I selected "standard seating" but we were still given a high top by the bar (which was another seating option that we didn't choose). The restaurant felt very loud (even before the live music and dancing began) making it hard for me to converse with my friend. The space is nicely decorated and the live music and dance were a cool experience, but I might recommend sitting outside if you want to talk during a weekend dinner without yelling. To eat, we ordered the shishito peppers, sesame-encrusted chicken, and the paella de marisco. The peppers were pretty standard (nothing too special) but tasted fresh and delicious. The chicken also tasted good with nice sesame flavor and sauce but the dish is basically ~$20 chicken nuggets (we didn't realize they were fried chicken bites). The paella had some good elements (namely the chorizo and aioli) but the seafood was just okay and the texture of the rice was a bit gross -- it tasted soggy and pretty flavorless. I like when the paella rice at other restaurants has a crisp bottom, but that was clearly not the case here; perhaps it's not their style but the soggy rice really brought the dish down -- the portion was also a bit small for a $34 entree. The service was decently attentive, but the server wasn't very friendly. He seemed annoyed that we didn't order drinks, and we felt a bit rushed to get out.

Tried four different 'tapas'. Octopus - okay, but the potatoes were a weird pairing for us. Ostrich taco - loved it, not too gamey. Actually tasted more like a brisket. Lamb chops were cooked well, but forgettable. Last portion was some mushroom thing. Nothing that we couldn't make at home. We ordered Manhattans and the bar tender wanted to make it with Johnny Walker black label, and got really disappointed when I said that I do not want my Manhattan to taste like scotch. $170 later, here I am.

From service to food, appetizers to dessert, you cannot go wrong here. We loved the tenderloin skewers, which were fantastic with the marinated jalapeños. We also enjoyed the grilled octopus... for an entré we enjoyed the lamb chops and paella. I won't lie, the paella blew the lamp chops away!!! Lol Dessert was an order of churros, which were sweet, lightly crunchy and had 2 dipping sauces.. chocolate and something heavenly citrusy!!! Parking could be challenging, but the struggle is worth it. Great music, comfortable chairs, and full bars to keep you there until midnight. We went for Valentines day, but you can enjoy brunch, or a night out with the crew. Don't be afraid to go downstairs either. We had a ball!! Let's do this!!

This happy hour sangria is really good. The calamari is really good as well. The only thing I didn't like was the sesame chicken. I do enjoy their mixology class they have.

A friend suggested this spot and I never knew it was here though I've dined at majority of the restaurant on this block. Beautiful place on the inside. Looks to be a hidden gem. Great vibe, live jazz music, the asthteics was nice so nice that I wish I captured more pictures. Our waiter was super nice and quick with our service. The food was DELICIOUS, especially my entree. ill give it a 9/10 only because I didn't really enjoy my appetizer too much which was their scallop ceviche but my entree Paella de Marisco was 10/10. I look forward to coming back here.

Great flavors and beautifully decorated! I definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Authentic: like Barcelona or San Sebastián Spain ! Can't wait to go back. We had Sangria, wine and about 6 plates.

This was a great find. We just landed in Atlanta and were looking for places open late and we are so glad we found Sebastian ( thanks YELP!!) . It had such a unique ambience with the umbrellas,the dream catchers, the bull on the beautiful bar. The food was great, we thought it had a Mediterranean twist to it. All so Yummm.. We ordered the Ahi Tuna, the Lamb chops, the pollo pállela and the batata harra. Everything tasted really good!! But the best part of our experience was the service, may it be our server Sardar ( he had his heart in the service), the hospitable manager Carlos, the amazing bartender ( sorry didn't get his name)-ohh he fixed some amazing drinks! Or the busser who always had a smile. It's our first night here and we know it's going to be a great trip, if this is how it starts ;)

I like this spot. The tapas menu is not as robust as other similar places & I do wish it offered more variety, but what we ate was good! Pork belly, potatoes, and garlic shrimp were all small portions but well presented and very tasty. Cocktails were solid and lovely to look at! Service was a hair slow but very friendly. The decor inside is lovely. The patio decor is fun but needs some upkeep, looking a bit ragged in places. Highly recommend having a reservation, it's not a large place. You definitely have to pay for parking on street or nearby garages. I'll certainly go back, seems like a good spot for casual but fun dinners or drinks.

Food was good but a bit expensive. The ambiance is absolutely the best part and service was good. Their paella was the most disappointing because it was not traditional at all.

Great tapas, amazing service, fun cocktails! We had reservations when we went and got seated promptly. Cute decor and their menu is twists on traditional tapas. Got the patas bravas that are fried in duck fat and was SOO good! The croquettes were flavorful and the chicken bites were also good. We were too stuffed to try the mushrooms but the description did sound good. Would recommend!

Let's start nice and easy. This place is cute. This is a long review (i got a to long warning) because we tried nearly everything on the menu. The vibe - Sit outside if the weather permits (it is well covered). The cute umbrellas remind me of visiting the streets in Cartegena. It's absolutely instagrammable. My party of five came for dinner. It's fun without being over the top. To help get you oriented by its location, Sebastion is located next to Sivas (under renovation) and across from Steak Market. Parking - Atlanta is going to Atlanta. Valet parking is $20. You can pay cash or a card. You can text the valet, and they can bring your car out ahead of your departure in the event of rain or being busy to reduce your standing around time. Service - amazing. Mateo checked on us A LOT, ordered food, and it was bought out 10-15mins later, and for tapas... that's a nice pace. Even the staffers' clearing tables were fumbling over themselves to offer assistance, recommendations, or water. Food - in true tapas fashion, my party ordered all but 3 of the hot tapas. The Tenderloin Skewers are chefs kiss! Taste like beef, tender, and the aioli was a nice complement, I think my table order 3. The Croquettes were good, not life changing but good. Papas Bravas, Yes! Immediately, yes. There had to be 20 layers of ultra thin potatoes that made this potatoes bite very tender on the inside but crisp and flaky on the outside...cooking marvel. The shrimp ceviche was a fail, absolute basura. It's edible, but it's not true, ceviche. It's cooked shrimp with lime. We gave our feedback to Mateo, and he attributed the cooked ceviche being a chef alternative to people not understanding ceviche is supposed to be RAW. Interestingly, the tuna tartar was really good. The tuna was cut small enough to be tender and flavorful but not shredded to be mush. I don't like sourdough, but the grilled sourdough with the whipped ricotta was amazing. I needed another piece of bread because of the amount of ricotta on the plate, but I'll get to that when I talk about value/price. Grilled shrimp, they were well flavored and meaty but not memorable. Grilled artichoke I to be debated. The artichoke was a lot more briny than expected. I genuinely have to go buy an artichoke to determine if it's supposed to taste that way or was it over the top. It was tender and very pretty, but I don't know if I like it yet... let's see...what's left. Shisito peppers were good. Some of them were actually really spicy. I think the paprika aioli AND garlic aioli should be provided. Shisto peppers also come with the beef tenderloin. The sesame chicken was very good. It was served piping hot, and the breast/thigh morels or meat were a great addition. Pork belly.. a little crispy... a little chewy... a lot flavorful. Libations- This place has an extensive gin collection... easily the largest gin collection in Atlanta. They have a dedicated gin cocktail drink menu. The drinks are very pretty. Some of the drinks are served unique over the top ways. We didn't order it, but next time, order the Salvador Dali...its served in a smoke box. I have no idea how it tastes but again instagrammable. The fragrance and love are served with a popcorn topper. The basque queen was very good. Sweet, fruity, subtly ginny. The mojitos were meh. I love the freshe fruit used but having had mojitos in cuba... my bar is high for such a simple bar staple. We ordered the sangria... a couple, to be exact. We thought it was all juice until the sangria started to creep up on us. Price/value - this place is pricey for Atlanta. All tapas are between. $9 - $19. The price isn't bad but the quantity for the price is bad. Example... Stick out your pinky finger... that's the length and thickness of the beef tenderloin. It was 4 bites on a skewer...actually a bite per skewer. The only tapas that felt like a good value was the shisto peppers. You get an appetizer plate full of peppers. The Papas bravas were ok... one more potatoe cake would feel worth it. If you have a table of more than 2 people in your party, you're going to order multiple of everything so everyone can try everything. Drinks were pricey. Overall , I'd go back.. I think there are other tapas places in the city that have a better value in price and quantity but a cute date night, dinner meetup with the gal pals, or just something light bite before a show/event. If my group didn't order multiples of everything, soror would leave hungry but honestly in true tapas form... it's a taste of menu not full meals. We skipped the paella BUT it looked small for the price. Sebastion Pintxos has only been open about seven months. Give it a try. Let me know what you think.

Have walked by this spot way too often to be finally trying it out, but the atmosphere was really fun upon entrance, good music and a spacious bar. The staff were very friendly and tried to make conversation. The food was mediocre and forgettable, the savory flavor you want from a tapas restaurant just wasn't there, the beef skewers were probably our favorite dish though. The lamb chops came out cold and theres definitely more inspiring garlic shrimp recipes out there. They had a great drink selection.

Saw this spot plastered all over Instagram, so I decided to check it out. The beautiful decor will draw you in, the vibes are great, but the food is expensive. Go once and check it off your list. I saw the reviews here and decided to come with a friend for brunch since the prices were lower compared to dinner. I booked a reservation for 11am. When we walked in, there were only 2 other groups inside, but by noon it's packed. GET A RESERVATION! Parking: on Google maps, it looked like there's a parking lot behind the building, but when we got there, it was a building under construction...we parked in a small lot across the street shared with another restaurant. Pay for parking on the parking app. Food: we each got a drink. The mimosa and a virgin mojito were both $10 each. Since the shakshouka was already $24, we decided to share it and get an appetizer. The shakshouka tasted average; it came in a small paella pan, so it was a shallow dish. It definitely shouldn't be $24. Shakshouka is normally about $15-18. The papas bravas were amazing. I loved the little blocks with layers; 6 bites for $13! I wanted more! Service: great, but it wasn't busy during more than half of our visit. The place gets packed though, which I'm sure affects service. Vibe (Sunday): I enjoyed the DJ that came out and the little flamenco show!

The first time I ate at Sebastian Pintxos bar was a few months after opening and my friends and I had a great time. They had a DJ that played salsa music and an instructor who invited people up to learn salsa dancing. Food was fine. Last night however, they had way less seating upstairs where the live music area was & no dance instructor this time. Mostly two top tables. My friends ordered Leche Martinis. They did not have leche in it and was super sweet. I had the passion fruit madness & it was good. The seafood paella lacked flavor and my friend didn't eat it.However, the chicken paella was good. Fried green beans were good as well. Restaurant is very cute and better for date night. My main issue was checkout. There were three of us who order different things. The waiter told us he could do up to three checks, but it turned out when it was time to pay they don't slit checks. I ended up paying for more than what I ordered since they could only split the payments evenly for the table. This would not be an ideal place for a group of people. It's 2024 so there's no excuse for a restaurant not to have the technology/system to split checks, especially when we only had three people!
