Los Bilbainos
Calle Alejandro Bueno 8
29780 Nerja
Los Bilbainos, also referred to locally as ‘The Commie Bar’, is a very Spanish bar with a ‘rough and ready’ look and feel about it which can be a daunting prospect for some people. Just go in and you’ll find it has a very warm and friendly atmosphere.
They always have a good selection of tapas and they also serve local wines out of the barrel if that takes your fancy. There is Málaga (sweet), Competa (dry, medium & sweet), Frigiliana (sweet), Pedro Jimenez (sweet) and Arenas (dry & medium) to choose from. The Arenas ‘medium’, served chilled, is excellent.
The tapas are included in the price of the drinks, beer being €1.30 for a caña, €1.50 for a tubo.
Walked past this bar several times, slightly intimidated!!! But wouldn’t miss a few visits per holiday now! Full of local people, who are friendly and always acknowledge you. The poor barman always seems to be run ragged keeping everyone served with drinks and nice tapas with every drink. Always sport or a western movie on! Very good value, so get in there!
Warm and welcoming authentic local tapas bar, I went on several occasions with my husband and other family members. Good selection of wine in barrels and a variety of tapas. Manolo the barman deserves a medal, he never stops working hard, yet remains a true gentleman. Go and experience the real deal, we did!! We wish him well, the family from Liverpool.
my favourite, not quite as good since the smoking ban, standing on the street !!!! but still best bar in Nerja
Always enjoy a visit here, it is an original, getting locked in the bathroom is fun, and the barman was to the rescue in a flash, as the street is being redone out side it will sure have more visitors, not many of these type of places left any place in the costa nowadays, enjoy it while it lasts, super cheap, nice tapas. a good place to finish off a tapas run, and they don’t speak english, the barman does a great job by him self, a local hang out, unique interior that remains untouched, do visit.
