Wandered in here (or tried to) the first afternoon I was in Jaén, but it wasn’t quite open yet – even though there seemed to be several regulars inside – so my friend and I moved on. The next day I passed by again and I swear those same guys were in there. But this time it was officially open so I sat at the bar and tried a couple of tapas. Some fabulous cheese and a very good stewed meat dish (cannot remember what it was, other than delicious).
Got chatting with the woman at the bar who introduced me to the owner. Turns out this bar is a labour of love, and one dedicated to flamenco. There are shows every Friday (more often if they can manage it) and it really felt like a place I’d like to go back to. It’s got a cosy bar area, massive dining room with stage, and a nice sidewalk terrace too.
