Also great prices and atmosphere,and nice drinks,but the pintxos are whatmakes this place special. The only problem is that the toilets were a bit dirty.

Once we arrived and realized why it has such a good ranking in Tripadvisor! We have a few pintxo bars on our crawling list and this one is definitely our highlight. They have lots of modern and interesting pintxo to choose from, the food look fresh and well presented, also their food has a bit of Japanese influence too. When... More

Relatively cheap pintxos were absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately only about half of them tasted very good. Service was ok, but the atmosphere not too cozy. Sangria was bit overprized as well, but the overall experience was good.

My sister and I went there around 7:30pm for dinner. We ordered 11 plates and a sangria and it was 20 euro total!!! The food was amazing, each of them was simply an art work. Definitely have to go there if you wanna get some good pintxos.

The pinchos are great quality, but they have to clean the tables a bit more frequent. For Bilbao it is special, but compared to the pinchos bars/restaurants in San Sebastian it is nothing special

OK - the title was true but not really an issue other than all the bars that did have the lunchtime footie on were absolutely rammed, while Irrintzi was just pleasantly heaving ! Although I had to fight through the drinkers outside, I somehow managed to grab a stool at the bar straight-away, ordered a beer (with no suggestion that... More

Irrintizi was our first pinxto bar in Bilbao and wow, it was great. We stumbled upon it during our first night out in the old city when we noticed how busy it was. The food was interesting and really good and the service was great. Aside from the food, we probably enjoyed the atmosphere the best. It was fun and... More
