DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN - PARTE VIEJA - BAR PACO BUENO

BAR PACO BUENO

This is a traditional Pintxo bar with a social-club atmosphere, reminiscent of old-school style. It attracts a diverse crowd, including many local families and tourists of all ages. The bar prominently features themes of boxing, rugby, and Basque rowing, with its walls adorned with vintage memorabilia.

It is run by owner Paco Bueno (who was a boxer in his younger days ) and his sons.

It’s lively, entertaining and has a friendly atmosphere.

The specialities include deep-fried seafood, like calamari, but the most prized dish is gambas gabardina (deep-fried prawns). Wait for them to come up piping hot, but be quick, as they are snapped up fast!

Drink with a glass of the local, extravagantly poured Basque sidra.

Gambas gabardina (deep-fried prawns).

The other pintxos are average, so focus on enjoying the gambas, sidra, caña, or the slightly sparkling local txakoli wine, along with the friendly atmosphere. Try other pintxos in the old town.

The bustling crowd spills out onto the noisy street during peak hours.
