About El Gato que quería + Ibus

A craft beer bar in the centre of Santander where the staff — ask for David — pay close attention to what you actually like before pointing you toward a tap. Ten ales on at any one time, drawn from local, national and Belgian breweries, with names like Other Half and Garage appearing on the lines. There is snacking food alongside the beer, and the room itself sits inside a historical building, tastefully done. For anyone serious about craft beer in this city, the range and the guidance here are hard to match.
