Residence

“Where is Residence?” Everyone asks that question… It’s tucked away on that little street connecting Heros with Alameda Rekalde, the one with a couple of small lanterns outside that stay lit when it’s open…

It might be a bit hard to find, true, but once you do, the hardest part will be leaving…

The “Resi” has something addictive about it.

Maybe it’s the extensive selection of whiskies and gins, its award-worthy gin and tonics, or the enjoyable atmosphere of live music. Or maybe it’s everything at once.

This venue, known for its unplugged live music (especially its now-classic Wednesday Sessions), is also Bilbao’s folk music temple.

At Residence, music isn’t just part of the background. Its carefully curated playlists of jazz, folk, and lounge for quieter moments, and R&B, classic rock, and funk for nighttime, provide the perfect ambiance.

Home to Ardberg Embassy and proudly featuring Hendrick’s gin—two stars of the house—Residence is also the perfect spot for beer lovers. But remember, “This is a most unusual bar, not for everyone.”
