I've come here for drinks and (a lot of) snacks a few times before, and really enjoyed the pinxtos. At special times each pinxtos is $2, and there is a wide range on offer. The place also operates on a loyalty basis, where you keep each toothpick from each pinxto and at the end you hand them in and pay depending on how many toothpicks you have. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but I imagine having food so cheap they need to make up the costs somewhere.
This place has (in all likelihood) the best spanish tapas/canapes in Melbourne - considering price and quality.
Go during the specified special times and you can eat pinxtos (the spanish canapes) for under $2 each. There is a great range some with meat and others vegetarian, there are also some sweet pinxtos. The size of the pinxtos is fairly large, about double the size of an ordinary canape.
Favourites on our table included eggplant chip with blue cheese and honey & Blueberry cassis cannoli.
They are generous on both quality & serving size, with pinxtos featuringspecialty ingredients such as mussels, serrano jamon, quince, manouri cheese, sopressa etc.
Because it is tapas, this is a great place for group or other social events, where people can share and interact over the food.
The vibe is typical brunswick st, trendy and eclectic but casual.
They have also recently opened up a rooftop bar, which means you can now eat & drink, in the open air as well - great for a sultry summer evening.
okay, the name very different but apart from that ... sounds good for tapas! such interesting dishes! thanks for sharing
I passed by this place.. then i decided to enter the premises ... WOW! i found a great place to hang out / socialise with friends... Then, on the weekend i took my friends to Naked for Satan.. and they love it.. we had couple of drinks and had the tapas (it was really beautiful!)..
Wow sounds great.
am going here soon, pretty excited!
Have been there for afternoon snacks a couple of times - Great for something tasty but not to spoil dinner. Its great!! I have taken a lot of my friends and family and they liked it too, but some of them weren't sure what cuisine it was - Think of it as Spanish style yum cha - The cute little pinxtos appeal to all tastes, appetites and budgets; as they change the menu often, it's self serve and its cheaper at off peak times. They also have some really fancy vodka there so if you are looking for something different definitely head here.
Great meeting place for casual drinks and pinxtos - you can never stop at one (just too easy to eat!!). Amazing atmosphere and comfortable couches - a pretty good combination!
Sounds really interesting.
Went here last night for a friend's birthday and it was amazing! The pinxtos are all 80c (I think lunch and dinner Mon-Wed, not sure about other times) and they were delish! They all have toothpicks in them so they just expect you to keep all your toothpicks and pay at the end (it's sort of an unspoken rule to buy a drink or two, it apparantly is what keeps their costs low).
I ate about 6 or 7 pinxtos and paid for about half of my friend's as well, and it still cost me less than $10 - remarkable! We were lucky to get a table, was pretty busy when we got there just after 7, so I would recommend earlyish if you're in a big group.
Otherwise, amazing!
Approximate cost: $10
A funky bar with a great drinks menu, but importantly - a delicious selection of pintxos (tasty gourmet nibbles on bread) to enjoy with your drinks. Great atmosphere and comfy couches, a favourite place!
