Gin Fizz Cocktail Bar

Tucked away at Calle Lersundi 1 in Bilbao’s Abando neighbourhood, Gin Fizz Cocktail Bar stands out as a refined yet welcoming venue for cocktail enthusiasts. The venue combines sleek presentation with genuine warmth: visitors praise the bartenders’ knowledge, the quality of the drinks and the atmosphere of a cocktail lounge that doesn’t feel rigid.

Inside, expect a comfortable bar space with modern lighting, chic finishes and seating that encourages conversation rather than crowding. As one reviewer noted:

“The place is small and cosy … mixing a family feeling with an international flavour.”

Gin Fizz’s drink menu draws attention. It offers both well-executed classics (such as a standout Old Fashioned) and signature creations unique to the bar — such as “Lucky Harmony” and the “French Jimador”. According to listings, cocktails are priced around €8-12 depending on complexity.

Although the venue is centrally located, it retains a relaxed, high-quality feel. Its hours extend late enough for post-dinner drinks or a more dedicated cocktail stop. According to opening-time listings: Sundays and other nights the bar opens from ~15:30 to 02:30, with Monday closed.

In short

if you’re exploring Bilbao and want a stop for drinks that balances craft, friendliness and style (rather than a rowdy nightclub or overly formal cocktail lounge), Gin Fizz Cocktail Bar is a strong pick. Arrive before the late evening rush for a relaxed seat.
