What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Basqueland Izakaia garners praise for its exceptional craft beers and delicious, Asian-inspired food, particularly the ramen and shrimp tacos. The vibrant brewpub atmosphere and friendly service contribute to a great dining experience, though some patrons have noted instances of feeling overlooked or overcharged.
"Was staying in the old town but as a craft beer fan I recognized this brewery name from a beer fest years ago and decided to make walk over.
The place itself has a perfect craft brewery vibe. Small and cozy, beer list on a homemade chalk boards and of course a great staff to help navigate ur visit.
We stopped by shortly after open and the bartender was able to recommend a few different options including a beer that wasn’t on the list yet along with a bao bun that wasn’t listed either. Both were amazing."

"Staff will focus on the locals. The locals will push past you to the bar. You will feel unwelcome. But they make some of the best beer in Spain and it doesn’t get fresher. Understand that Basques don’t mean it, understand the history, and just wait calmly for a drop of hop heaven. Food is also very good."
Adam Foster
"To the "terrible guy with tattoos", thankyou so much for your lunch service today. Joan? What a legend. Don't listen to any complaints about this guy. Great service. And without even asking, he offered many tips for the rest of our vacation.
The best dandan noodles and tantanmen we have ever eaten! And the beers are of an extremely high quality!
Cheers guys 😀"

The 25 Best Restaurants In San Sebastián - San Sebastián
Local Basqueland beer is one of Spain’s most awarded craft beers, and the brewery was started by two Americans who missed drinking great IPAs. In 2020, Izakaia opened as a beer-forward snack bar with the same raison d’etre—all while creating a spot with good energy, killer ramen, and beer to match. The bar is open every day until after midnight, with a rotating selection of their latest beers, a menu of Japanese fusion dishes, and even natural wines.

If you need a pause from excellent Basque and Spanish fare, you can pivot to excellent Asian fare. Brought to you by the Basqueland Brewery, Basqueland Izakaia is located in Gros, just a few steps from the river and the Kursaal conference center. You can sip on freshly made beer (they have wine too) while indulging in pan-Asian delights like ramen, pork buns, meat-stuffed wontons, and various other dishes.

Basqueland Izakaia in Gros, serves up craft beer directly from the Basqueland brewery, an independent brewery that opened in 2015. Alongside their amazing IPAs, Stouts and lagers, they serve their favourite beers from other local breweries. And if you’re more of a wine person, they have some excellent organic wines on the menu too.
A weekend in San Sebastian
We happened to walk past this bar, a Basqueland Brewery taproom with Japanese food, and stopped for a drink after loving their beers. Very modern and craft beer-y kind of place rather than a Spanish bar, but we enjoyed it. We didn’t order food here.

En palabras de la periodista estadounidense, «una cerveza premiada en el mundo, hecha en Astigarraga, y que tiene su propio bar-restaurante. Los platos son asiáticos y muy ricos, con muy buen ambiente y abierto hasta tarde».
