Bar Bergara Restaurant

Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Two blocks back from Zurriola, Garbola is a small, lived-in bar with a 1970s look and an owner-bartender whose cocktails travellers and locals alike single out as among the best in San Sebastián. The spirits wall runs deep beyond its strong gin selection, and the pintxos, including a low-temperature egg with truffled potato, are made in-house. It earns its spot purely on the drinks.
Editor's Tip
Tell the bartender what you like and let him improvise; the bar seats few, so go early. Cash-friendly, no fuss.
