Akerbeltz on Calle Mari in San Sebastian is the Old Town's queer-leaning waterfront bar with craft taps, the beer menu hand-painted across the slanted.
Tip: Terrace fills at sunset over the Old Port; arrive before 20:00 for a chair. The crowd is mixed gay-and-straight with the late-night rock and electronic mix.
The Museo del Whisky Piano Room in San Sebastian doubles as the city's nearest analogue to a listening bar, two floors of chosen drinks taken to live piano.
Tip: Live piano sessions every night from 22:00; the upstairs displays the 3,400-bottle collection. Conversation volume drops once the pianist starts.

Mala Gissona Beer House on Calle Zabaleta in San Sebastian is the Gros craft-beer dive 100 metres from Zurriola, with 12 taps and 150-plus cans split between.
Tip: Kitchen runs late; Thursday through Saturday close at 01:00 or later. Stand at the front bar for the surf-and-skate Gros crowd talking flights.
Basqueland Izakaia on Calle Peña y Goñi in San Sebastian is the Gros taproom for Basqueland Brewing, opened 2020 with 12 rotating taps and Asian bar food.
Tip: Pair the Santa Clara lager with the ramen; the room runs late and weekend taps rotate fastest. Walk-in only, the bar tightens after dinner service spills over.
Pub Drop on Calle Reyes Catolicos in San Sebastian is the cathedral-facing craft-beer pub with 19 taps and a Friday late-close to 04:00, anchoring the Centro.
Tip: About half the 19 taps pour local Basque beers; Friday closes at 04:00. The front patio across from Buen Pastor cathedral is the easiest seat before midnight.
Bar Udaberri on Calle Larramendi in San Sebastian is the 1930s Centro retro bar one block from Reyes Catolicos, alternative-music programmed with weekend DJ.
Tip: Open from 07:00-02:30 on weekends; Sunday opens at 08:30. The vintage interior survives unrenovated; the tostas at the counter feed the late drinkers.
