Sumerian Club

Situated on Calle Lersundi 8 in Bilbao’s Abando district, Sumerian Club opens its doors to cocktail enthusiasts looking for something a little different. Since opening around 2018, the bar has built a reputation for “coctelería de vanguardia” (cutting-edge mixology) wrapped in an interior that emphasises style, mood and late-night communion. Inside you’ll find an elegant space where design meets lounge comfort: green velvet banquettes, marble bars, mood lighting and a music programme that moves from relaxed early hours to higher energy as the night progresses. The drink menu spans well-executed classics as well as signature concoctions unique to the venue. Reviews highlight both the quality of service and customisation options from the bartenders. Notable practicalities: Sumerian Club stays open late (into the early morning, especially on weekends). For example, typical hours: from ~16:30 until around 03:30 on Monday–Thursday, and until 05:00 on Fridays & Saturdays. It’s central and accessible from Moyua metro Station, making it a convenient stop in Bilbao’s nightlife circuit. Crowds tend to build after 23:00 on weekends; arriving earlier gives a better chance of a relaxed seat and conversation rather than just being on the dance-floor. One review notes: “mi bar de copas favorito en Bilbao, viernes sábado a partir de las 23h suele estar demasiado lleno”. In essence: if you’re in Bilbao for cocktails and want an elevated, stylish, late-night bar with quality drinks, Sumerian Club is a strong pick. That said, as with many popular bars, check your bill, and be aware of busy times. Some reviewers reflected concerns about pricing transparency.
