It's a venue that changes functions throughout the day to suit its clients. You can come for a late breakfast snack, pop in at lunchtime for tapas or come in the evening for serious drinking and music. You'll see displays of work by 'alternative' painters on the walls and you can entertain yourself chatting with friends or playing board games.
The name translates as something like 'a toast to Bilbao'. In this restaurant the best of two cultures come together: the Germanic and the Bilbaoan. It goes without saying that this recently opened establishment offers typically German dishes and, of course, the best German beer. The Prosit Bilbao is different and original, so much so that on entering you are immediately transported to Germany. The beers are the stars here, especially the draught wheat beer, and the sausages are authentically German. To whet your palate, here are a few suggestions: roast pork leg joint with mashed potatoes and German cabbage, meat and cheese pie with a selection of vegetables, and a delicious creamy dessert of caramalised walnuts. On weekends, mushrooms with cheese and deep fried squid in 'best beer style' are available. The door is open for all who want a pure German experience.
Bilbao's Plaza Nueva is an interesting place for tourists, with bars under the arches. The Urdiña is one of them, and is recognisable by its blue interior decor and its tables outside in the square on sunny days. One of the bar's specialities is the delicious dish of scrambled eggs with mushrooms, roasted and slightly spicy red peppers with anchovies, or excellent prawns.
The Motrikes is located in one of the oldest streets in the old part of the city, and nowadays is one of the places which groups of people visit on their pub crawl (drinking in lots of bars but just having a small amount of wine, beer or another drink in each). This bar is a little place, with stone-clad walls, where you can try tasty grilled mushrooms at lunch-time or in the evening, as the grill is on until midnight.
Café Bar Iruña opened in 1903, and the same curious Moorish-style colored ceramic tiles and shields with coats-of-arms remain on the walls. A popular meeting point for bankers, executives and young working people, it's always busy and bursting with life from early morning until late at night. You can come for breakfast, lunch or drinks in the evening when the music is turned on. The bar sets up outdoor facilities during special festive events so that you can eat and drink and enjoy the music where the action is, on the street.
Badulake is one of the most interesting and entertaining nightclubs in the city of Bilbao. Beautiful retro interiors with pink lights in the club gives a vibrant feel to the guests. The place is full at most times with a mixed crowd of people. The club mostly plays a good selection of recent pop charts and music from the 80’s at times. The bartender serves the best of cocktails and mocktails with a variety of signature shots and drinks. The dance floor is spacious and has a huge room, enough for the guests to sway around. What else can a weekender party animal ask for when in Bilbao.
