What makes Pavoneo stand out

Pavoneo is on Barrenkale, one of the seven streets of the Casco Viejo, and normally opens only three nights a week. At the weekend it’s often so packed that guests spill out onto the street. It plays pop across the decades, and people dance.

Besides regular bar service, there are themed nights with DJs and drag bingo. Dates change and are announced on Instagram.

Atmosphere and crowd

Guests praise the atmosphere, the dance music and the friendly, professional service. Several call Pavoneo a must-stop in Bilbao, and one guest highlights the respectful treatment of women and men. Prices are considered cheap.
