About Pintxo de Bath
Pintxo de Bath delivers authentic Spanish and Basque tapas in a cosy, lively setting steps from the Royal Crescent. The menu balances classics—gambas, patatas bravas, tortilla de patatas, croquetas—with inventive specials like manchego cheesecake and fried aubergine, all executed with punchy flavours and beautiful plating. The wine list and sherry selection anchor the experience; a house negroni with East India Solera and rum exemplifies the bar's craft approach. Service is quick and attentive even during peak lunch and dinner rushes. Dogs are welcome inside and out. The cosy garden atmosphere and warm, attentive staff create an immersive Spanish escape in the heart of Bath, with healthy and vegetarian options woven throughout the small-plates menu.
Pintxo de Bath earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wine selection — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.

What Stands Out
Authentic Spanish & Basque tapas

Great wine list & sherry selection
Multiple reviews highlight the 'good selection of wines' and sherry offerings; one guest described a 'best Sherry tasting experience (like liquid fruit cake)' that elevated the meal, and another noted sherry 'really brings out the flavour of the delicious food'.
Quick, efficient service in a busy setting
Reviewers note 'service is quick & efficient' and 'food arrives fast' even during peak lunch and holiday weekends; staff are described as 'very accommodating and attentive', with named staff (Jessica, Luca, David) earning special praise for making occasions memorable.
