Un bar muy acogedor, con buenos pintxos y un buen ambiente, de la mano de su nueva gerente Claudia. Organiza muchas fiestas que dan ambiente a toda la calle. Os animo a comer unos riquísimos txopitos, cocinados por Edurne, una gran cocinera y mejor persona. Bueno, todos los que trabajan en este local son buena gente .

Bar con bastante ambiente. Hace pintxopote los jueves y tiene bastantes raciones para picoteo. Lo negativo es que suele tener la música alta y gente muy ruidosa.
