Bar Armas

Palma, Spain

Bar Armas belongs to Palma’s quieter drinking circuit: not the late-night old-town crawl, but a lobby-area bar in Son Vida, the hillside enclave west of the centre. With, it reads as a setting-led stop rather than a credential-led cocktail destination, better judged by context, access, and occasion.

Bar La Sang

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Bar La Sang holds consecutive Star Wine List awards for 2025 and 2026, placing it among Palma's most recognised wine-focused bars. Located on Carrer d'Antoni Frontera in central Palma, the bar draws a crowd that treats wine seriously without ceremony. The pairing of the drinks list with considered bar food gives the room a dual focus that sets it apart from the island's more casual wine stops.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

Bar Oro

Artà, Spain

Bar Oro sits outside Artà on Cami de Carrossa, attached to a fine dining restaurant rather than a street-corner nightlife circuit. Its interest lies in the way rural Mallorca reframes the cocktail bar: less urban theatre, more destination pacing, with drinks positioned as part of a longer evening in the island’s northeast.

Baste Taberna

Bilbao, Spain

Baste Taberna sits in the Areeta district of greater Bilbao, earning Star Wine List recognition in 2026 for a wine and drinks programme that places it in serious company across northern Spain. The address in Las Arenas positions it away from the old-town tourist circuit, giving the room a more local, deliberate character that rewards visitors who cross the estuary for it.

Burgundi

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Burgundi is a compact wine bar on Carrer del Bisbe Perelló that centres its offer around local, natural, and small-producer wines from Mallorca and beyond.

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Also recognized by Star Wine List

Coalla

Madrid, Spain

Established in 1955 on a central plaza in Madrid, Coalla Gourmet has built its identity around Asturian wines and regional food products, carrying that heritage north to its Serrano 203 address in Chamartín.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

Cork Wine Bar

Bilbao, Spain

On Bilbao's Pozas bar strip, Cork Wine Bar concentrates 80-plus wine references into a small, unhurried room that operates differently from the pintxos-and-txakoli rhythm around it.

Also recognized by Macarfi, Star Wine List

Curdelón

San Sebastián, Spain

Positioned steps from Zurriola beach, Curdelon Wine Bar has emerged as one of San Sebastián's more talked-about additions to the city's drinking scene. Modern and bright where most Basque bars lean dark and traditional, it offers a considered glass-of-wine experience in a city better known for txakoli and pintxos culture. A useful counterpoint to the Old Town circuit.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

De Vinos

Madrid, Spain

A twice-awarded Star Wine List recipient on Calle de la Palma in Madrid's Malasaña district, De Vinos operates in the tradition of serious Spanish wine bars where the glass is the point and the food exists to extend the conversation.

Granada, Spain

Opened in 2023 on the Cuesta de Gomérez, El Quejío wine bar sits where Granada's historic centre tilts toward the Alhambra.

Pamplona, Spain

L'Ànima del Vi

Barcelona, Spain

Open since 2013 in Barcelona's El Born neighbourhood, L'Ànima del Vi is a bistro-style wine bar with a specific focus on natural wines — a focus the team carried over from a previous wine store that closed in 2006.

Les Amis Wine Bar

Zaragoza, Spain

On Plaza de Santa Cruz in Zaragoza's Casco Antiguo, Les Amis Wine Bar holds a 2026 Star Wine List award — placing it among a selective tier of Spanish wine bars where the glass matters as much as the address.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

Loquería

Port de Pollença, Spain

A natural wine bar in Port de Pollença operating in a distinct niche: Italian tapas paired with bottles from small-production European houses including Valentini and Damilano. In a port town where the drinking culture leans towards sundown rosé and tourist-facing cocktails, Loquería pulls from a more considered cellar and a kitchen vocabulary shaped by the Italian table. The family behind it also runs a well-regarded restaurant nearby.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

Macot

Barcelona, Spain

Macot occupies a quiet stretch of Sants-Montjuïc, one of Barcelona's most residential and least tourist-trafficked districts. With limited publicly available data on menus, pricing, and booking, the venue sits at the edge of Barcelona's broader neighbourhood dining scene — a category defined by local regulars rather than international circuits. Readers seeking Michelin-tier tasting menus should cross-reference Barcelona's top creative houses first.

A wine bar on Calle de Gutenberg in Madrid's Retiro district, Micasita Bar à Vin has earned consecutive Star Wine List recognition in 2025 and 2026, placing it among a select tier of Spanish venues where the wine program carries serious editorial weight. The format is bar à vin rather than restaurant, which means the list does more structural work than the kitchen — and rewards guests who arrive with curiosity rather than a fixed order in mind.

Propaganda

Madrid, Spain

On Calle de la Libertad in Madrid's Chueca district, Propaganda occupies a corner of the city where occasion dining and neighbourhood character converge. The address places it within walking distance of the capital's most celebrated fine-dining corridor, yet the street-level setting reads more intimately than the grand-room productions found elsewhere in Centro.

Rama Wine Bar

Madrid, Spain

Recognised by Star Wine List 2026, Rama Wine Bar sits in Aranjuez — the royal garden town on Madrid's southern edge — and has built a loyal following among wine-focused regulars who return for the depth of its list rather than spectacle.

Córdoba, Spain

One of Córdoba's most enduring addresses in the Jewish quarter, El Churrasco has been synonymous with traditional Andalusian cooking for decades.

Logroño, Spain

A wine bar in the heart of Logroño, Roots draws on the deep Rioja wine culture surrounding it, pairing seasonal, classically minded food with a selection aimed at visitors and locals heading into the region's vineyards.

Barcelona, Spain

Sin Mala Uva has earned consecutive Star Wine List recognition in 2025 and 2026, placing it among Barcelona's most credentialed wine-focused addresses.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

St-Germain Wine Bar

Madrid, Spain

St-Germain Wine Bar in Madrid's Chamartín district earned a Star Wine List award in 2026, placing it among Spain's recognised wine destinations. The bar's address on Calle de Cochabamba positions it away from the city-centre bar circuit, attracting a clientele that comes specifically for the wine programme rather than footfall. A focused alternative to Madrid's louder cocktail rooms.

Seville, Spain

Tucked into the Casco Antiguo at Calle Santa María de Gracia 13, Taberna Manolo Cateca is one of Seville's most talked-about destinations for serious wine drinkers.

The Wine Side

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Relocated from Alcudia's port to a prime address on Passeig de Mallorca, The Wine Side has grown into one of Palma's most considered wine bar formats: a larger space with a private room, a terrace, and a list built around discovery rather than familiarity.

Ultramarinos Agustin Rico

València, Spain

Open since 1916, Ultramarinos Agustin Rico is a century-old neighbourhood fixture on Gran Via de les Germanies in L'Eixample, where Valencians stop for a small snack and an affordable glass of wine.

Vila Viniteca

Barcelona, Spain
