About Residence kafetegia

Residence kafetegia is a cocktail bar located in the Abandoibarra area of Bilbao. With a solid 4.6-star rating from over a thousand reviews, it's clearly a popular spot. Inside, the atmosphere leans toward casual, cozy, and trendy – think exposed brick rather than white tablecloths. They have a great beer selection and even better cocktails, plus live music and performances that add to the vibe. It’s the kind of place that works for both groups and tourists, offering table service, takeout, and even delivery if you can't make it. The bar offers a full range of alcohol, including beer, cocktails, hard liquor, and wine. Note that they have a wheelchair accessible parking lot, which is always a plus. The long hours, opening every day until at least 1 AM, make it a convenient choice for a late-night drink. The place is consistently busy, though, so be prepared for a bit of a wait sometimes.
