Bar Sport is a lively place and well worth seeking out for great pintxos and drinks. Staff are very good at dealing with the crowds!

Due to the bar hopping culture we were already quite full when we popped in We order their beef with mash.. was really tender and good beefy flavour We love the basque cheesecake because it had a bit of eggy taste to it so it...wasn’t too sweet… we tried coming back on the next day Tuesday but unfortunately they were closeMore

Txakoli wine again - this time with a recommended mushroom pintxo chosen from a very large selection - in a popular bar where I was lucky to find a table. This was another stop on the routine pintxo/tapas route where you can spread a dining...experience over half a dozen such bars. This one had a nice atmosphere with a good crowd and very good service as can be seen...!More

We were recommended to this place by our hotel front desk staff as the best place to go for pintxos, but we were warned table reservations are not taken, and that because it gets very busy, if we wanted a table, we might have to...wait a while. That was indeed sound advice. We got there to find total mayhem. To say the place was “very lively” would come nowhere near close. People standing up to eight deep, along the full length of the counter, perfectly happy to eat and drink standing up. The same outside into the street. Unbelievably, we managed to bag one of the tables, as one became available at the very moment we walked in….there are only five tables in the whole place, so how lucky was that. The menu has an English section, so it was easy to follow. We were immediately attended to by Marco…..an incredibly efficient staff member, sharp as mustard, who assisted us with ordering some delicious morsels, such as the squid, the savoury meatballs, the pardon peppers, the baked cod, the anchovy on tomato, the foie gras, and the absolutely astonishingly good sea urchin….a first for me. All washed down with local cider. An incredible experience…..a great chance for a foreign visitor to meet and mix with the locals, who it has to be said, are the most friendly and helpful people you will find anywhere…..I urge you to try this place out….but be warned, it will be a pretty intense experience…..😀 Go visit the place, you will then see why this place is so rightly regarded by the locals…..More
