Drinks Soul and Spirit
San Sebastian
At a glance
Drinks Soul and Spirit is a discreet lounge at San Bartolomé Kalea, 23, Bajo 3, in San Sebastián. The venue is presented as an experience rather than a conventional bar, with an atmosphere shaped by privacy, attentive service and a considered drinks programme. Its setting is intended for occasions when conversation, music and a slower pace matter as much as the drink itself.
The drinks focus centres on mezcal, classic cocktails and cocktails prepared around individual preferences. The approach is bespoke, with the service designed to adapt to the occasion and the tastes of the group. Mezcal is treated as part of a broader sensory experience, rather than simply another item on a standard bar menu. The concept also allows the venue to work for guests seeking a more personalised evening built around cocktails and spirits.
Music is an important part of the character. Deep soul and blues provide the soundtrack, giving the lounge a measured, intimate feel. The venue’s discreet style suits guests who prefer a setting away from the energy of a busy mainstream bar, while the emphasis on personalised attention keeps the experience focused on the people and the occasion.
VIP service is available as a tailored format, with bespoke cocktails, dedicated attention and flexibility shaped around the reservation. That arrangement is intended for executive, corporate and private gatherings, making the lounge suitable for groups looking for a more private drinks setting. The same format can also suit a smaller celebration or a planned meeting where a coordinated cocktail experience is more appropriate than a casual drop-in.
Reservations are handled through WhatsApp, with the venue’s approach built around advance arrangements and individual preferences. A membership option is also associated with the VIP concept, offering access to priority reservations and other exclusive experiences. Overall, Drinks Soul and Spirit suits adults, cocktail enthusiasts and private groups drawn to mezcal, classic drinks, soulful music and a discreet style of service.
