Busy Pintxo Bar with Authentic Bilbao Flavours
El Globo is one of those lively cafes and pintxo spots in Bilbao where the energy is part of the appeal. Located in Abando, it’s known for an impressive spread of pintxos, including freshly made hot options, beautifully presented bites, and a menu full of flavour-packed favourites. Diners rave about the goat cheese pintxo, beef and cheddar combinations, and other creative small plates that make it easy to sample a little of everything. The atmosphere is vibrant and authentic, with a bustling bar scene that feels unmistakably local. Even when it’s busy, the staff keep things moving with friendly, efficient service, making it a solid stop for lunch, tapas, or an evening drink. It’s also a place people happily return to more than once during a short stay, which says a lot about the consistency and appeal. If you want to experience classic Bilbao pintxos in a place that feels energetic, casual, and full of flavour, El Globo is a reliable favourite. It’s especially appealing for anyone looking for local food, a lively setting, and plenty of choice right in the city centre.

in the last weekAbsolutely incredible! I ordered the Menú Pintxos El Globo and loved every single bite. Everything was delicious, but the crab and the tuna were 100/10 🤯 Each pintxo was completely different, full of flavor, and beautifully presented, and the dessert was the perfect way to finish. Combined with the great atmosphere and lovely staff, El Globo set the bar VERY high. An absolute must! ❤️
