About Bar El Castro

Bar El Castro sits right on P.º de Alfonso XII in Vigo-Centro. It's clearly a popular spot, judging by its 4.0-star rating from over 800 Google reviews and the sheer number of photos online. The vibe is casual, leaning towards cozy and trendy, but it also seems like it can be quiet, which is a nice bonus. The venue is open almost all the time, every day from noon until midnight or 1 AM, except for Mondays when it's closed. They've got seating and table service, but you can also grab food at the bar if you prefer. It's a good spot for groups and it looks like a lot of tourists find their way here. The outdoor seating is a plus, and they offer takeout and dine-in options. The restaurant takes accessibility seriously, with a wheelchair accessible entrance and parking lot. It has good ratings, but not perfect. The restaurant is a restaurant and bar.
