Description:
Among Bilbao’s one-offs, Rasputin is a hint towards the impressive collection of Soviet iconography which is framed across the walls of this tiny bar.

Not content with that, the owner Paco has decided to amass the largest selection of vodka in any bar in Spain.

Very much a Basque evening bar all the same, with pintxos early on, a social scene and an idiosyncratic feel that makes the experience the antidote to any corporate businesses.

Due to the interior it’s enjoyable whether busy or quiet, although your flex for being surrounded by Communist propaganda will signpost how much you’ll personally get out of the visit.
