About La Fábrica Craft Bar Smach Taproom
Craft beer in Santander tends to mean whatever the big brands push through the tap. The own-brew range runs from crisp IPAs to darker stouts, and the guest taps add further range for anyone working through a tasting flight — four small beers for €10 is the way to start. The pinchos selection gives the table something to eat while the staff walk you through what's in the glass: knowledgeable without being preachy, and genuinely warm with it. The room is cozy without feeling cramped, and the whole thing stays well under €10 a round. Wednesday to Saturday, no more.
