I loved this teeny tiny little cafe/bar/tapas place. They still do what you'd expect every bar in…read moreSpain to do: serve a small plate (tapas) with every drink. So your Euro doesn't only buy you a small beer or wine but also a small plate of chorizo, some cheese or fried potatoes. They have good coffee for a Euro (cortado) and some cocktails (the classics) too. Very friendly service and a modern, clean interior should have people queueing out the door.

L'abellgu is my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAR EVER. This place is full of local flavor and is a real…read moreAsturian pub. It's homey with rock and chinking walls and makeshift seating... Were it not for electricity, you might swear you had been transported back in time. This place is timeless. The coolest thing about L'abellugu is the people it attracts. Its a hive Asturian artists, poets, musicians and activists. Over the decades the bar has been a favorite of Celtic- Asturian bands Llan de Cubel and Felpeyu. This is the kind of place where anyone could whip out an instrument at any time and revel patrons with a rousing reel or heart-rending ballad. This is the kind of pub that tourists DREAM of discovering. If you want to rub elbows with locals, this is the place to go. Don't be surprised if you don't understand a word they say, because here everyone speaks Asturianu, the language of Asturias. Everyone speaks Spanish too, but the kind of people who frequent L'abellugu don't WANT to speak the language of the that was thrust upon them by the opressive dictator Franco 40 years ago. It's a sore subject in Asturias. L'abellugu celebrates the local language, music, and culture. They have excellent beers on tap, lots of lovely Whiskeys and kreigs as well. The bathroom is scary, but that's pretty much universally the case in Spain anyway. Go and enjoy, but pee in the street. It's okay, really....

Okay, we have to admit, we gave it an extra star simply because we spent the night listening to…read moreleprechaun music in Spain. Not that we like leprechaun music but, in Spain? An ersatz Irish pub well out of the tourist lanes Cerveceria Triskel evidently sits well with the locals....music be damned. This neighborhood hangout does a robust business in take-out food. Not something you see everyday. The clientele looks like a cross representation of the local population with the well dressed mixing well with the not so much. There is a generous supply of complimentary tapas to go along with your drink but the light that shines the brightest here are the burgers. We started out with the idea of a simple hamburger but like most simple things our simple burger got out of hand pretty fast. We don't know how we did it but our burger ended up with: A hamburger patty Two layers of goat cheese Tomato Lettuce Onion Lomo Egg And a sesame seed bun All for 7 euros. And the best part was it was delicious. Cervecería Triskel is a blue collar eats place and we will be sure to wear our best blue collar when we return...which we will.

Unfortunately it has a lot of potential but it isn't realized. The service is extremely slow. This…read morehas nothing to do with Spanish culture of slow. For a meal, it took them 2 hours to serve a meal, and when it came out, two of the plates were wrong. We didn't have the heart at that point to send it back. No water ever came, even though we asked for it. We ordered a beer flight. When it came, there was no key to what any of the beers were- we had to figure that out for ourselves like it was an escape room. As it currently stands, it would be impossible to repeat a meal at this establishment. The beers themselves are okay for the class, but for six taps 4 were IPAs. I recommend trying a meal somewhere else.

Let me say first that anyone who has loved/supported craft beers or has been a home brewer should…read moresupport this place if they come to Leon. Okay, so I can really only comment on the beer, as I sampled three different brews. The lager was good, but I really enjoyed the Royal Brown and the I.P.A. ("Eepa"). There are sliders and gliders (sausages/hot dogs), as well as some other eats on the pub menu. The service was good, especially considering how busy it was, and the servers were both friendly and helpful. Finally, craft brewing in hot climates, and for a new markets in those climates, is not like craft brewing in more northern areas. Heavy ales really do not tend to sell. Those coming from Britain or places like my hometown of Portland, Oregon, USA, may be disappointed if you are expecting the heavier/more full-bodied ales we are often served. But you'll be pleasantly surprised if you go in with an open mind and open palate -- the beer at Four Lions Brewery kicks the ass of the ubiquitous brands sound as C***C*** or E*******de G****** or E*******del S**.
