Having the the most intriguing natural wine list in town is this postage-stamp bar's claim to fame. Go for the spontaneously fermented oddball varietals; stay for the Argentine-inflected pintxos and ever-rotating vegetable-heavy menu that you can enjoy alfresco. Reservations are a must.

Dabadaba, tucked away on a side street behind Tabakalera, is San Sebastián's premier nightclub and performance venue, bringing in fan-favorite DJs and frequent live performances. The crowd skews young, and the music is louder than it needs to be, but the vibes are always unpretentious and positive.
