About
Bar Sirimiri [/ caption] Among the tapas bars of the Old Town from time to time a new opening or reopening of a former local occurs. This is the case of Sirimiri Bar , a bar located next to the church of Santa Maria , on Calle Mayor 18, which highlights the wide bar full of thorns and is decorated local after redecoration. The bar has in the back of the store with a small restaurant with a few tables in a loft, while under the dining room is a sort of miniature cider nicely decorated to making the site a irresistible to organize a good group dinner choco. As we say, they are 2 very small spaces but they do very well its function. In Sirimiri you can have a drink together with some of its cold or any of its pintxos famous toast . If instead the overnights we recommend you try one of their cups, in one of his conreto gintonics that prepare fabulously well. You'll have plenty of brands to choose from.

Wandered in on a busy Friday evening, all booked up, but the waiter said we could have three quarters of an hour at a reserved table before the actual bookers arrived. Well worth it, the slow baked egg was superb, and the beef cheek just as good. Just pop in if you can; grab the Pintxos menu and try some of these amazing small plate dishes. They really aren't expensive!

Very cool place. More of an upscale tapas bar with some regular menu items and some very good craft cocktails. The seasonal food items were excellent as was the service from the very friendly staff. We liked it so much we went there twice on our visit and the prices were very reasonable.

We came here twice and will probably be back before we leave. Pintxos here were delicious & some of our favourite in San Sebastián - highly recommend the beef cheek and ceviche - they were unreal, highly flavourful. Ivania that helped us was also really friendly for non-Spanish speakers. Thank you!

We were fooled by the great reviews and had high expectations. Even though we asked to be served together, our food arrived at different times. The nachos were the best part of the meal. The prawn skewers were dry and lacked flavour. The octopus was chewy and drenched in oil. The 16 EUR "bonito" was literally four portions of canned tuna and olives... As my friend eloquently put it: "I've seen cats eat better". After four days of pintxos we wanted to try some "rationes", but our experience at Sirimiri was a big let down.

Waited for over 1,5 hours to get our food. The service was horrible and the food was only OK. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Dont fall for this trap of a resturant. One of the waitresses was extremly rude when we questioned the long food delay. How he got a Job at a resturant will forever be a misstery. Stay away from this place.

Donostiarra family of a lifetime. We had dinner in August at 10pm by booking in advance. We notify you of the reservation and wait to be attended to. Finally, after several inattentive glances from the waiters, who were laughing (I imagine they thought we were tourists), it was the waitress at the bar (with blue hair, the only one who was efficient and who was working her shift ahead) who prepared the meal for us. table while serving at the bar.
During dinner, we had to go and order everything, drinks, food and even the bill at the bar because no one answered (it had been a long half hour, the waiters were laughing).
The most striking moment was that no one told us about the kitchen closing and we were left without dessert (evidently they informed us at the bar when we went, no one came to the table).
Highlight the good work of the waitress with blue hair and, on the other hand, the negligence of the remaining waiters in charge of the tables. The food was correct. If it were my business I would review the service issue because it undermines the good work of the cooks.

I recently visited this restaurant which exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and welcoming atmosphere. The menu was varied and offered options for all tastes, from traditional dishes to innovative creations. The presentation of the dishes was impeccable and the flavors were simply delicious. The service was attentive and efficient, ensuring you had a memorable experience. The attention to detail and quality of the food left me impressed. This restaurant is definitely a place I will return to again and again.

Just immerse yourself in the atmosphere! Lots of noise, lots of people, few tables but oh so good food. Really enjoy it! Just trying a lot of dishes. Croquettes of squid, risotto (arroz), patatas bravas, calamares friction, langoustines, ...... The service was also more than top notch.

The dishes are pretty good. The value for money is quite good. However, we ate standing at a high table. For an aperitif and a snack it's okay but not for dinner. For the service: 2 of the servers were very pleasant and a third was frankly not friendly.
I recommend the nachos: usual a nice dish but nothing more, this is undoubtedly the best I have eaten.
3/5 because of one of the waiters and eating standing up.

Colleagues gave this restaurant to eat pintxos. Arrived today and surprised by great food. Richly varied and very tasty. While drinking a nice glass of Albarino. It is cozy and very affordable. Price/quality is top notch. Highly recommended. We had reservations and I think they were necessary.

Sirimiri was another recommendation for our Pinxtos hop. We tried the carrillera ( bread anchovies/rasberry sauce) paired with a white wine.

We stopped by early and stayed for about 15 minutes. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was really good! The pintxos were delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

We were looking for a place to get some Pintxos for dinner and found this place on here but it was totally booked. Anyway, we were wondering round the old town and wandered past and decided to go in and were able to get a table. So glad we did, the food and staff were fantastic. Well worth a visit but try and book ahead if you can, you might not get as lucky as we did!
