About us
Culture, history and tradition
1813 means culture, history and tradition. We are a historic pintxo bar located on the ground floor of one of the few buildings to escape the fire that engulfed the city in 1813, in the Old Part of Donosti.
We restored the wood and brick building with a view to recalling and highlighting that event. This is also reflected inside, where we can find the small figures made by the sculptor Iñigo Arregi using elements characteristic of the Basque Country, such as the lauburu (four-headed) symbol comprising 4 arms which, among other meanings, refers to the 4 Basque provinces – one for each arm.
The cosy, rural atmosphere in the bar reminds us of the traditional baserri (farmhouse) typical of the country: wooden details, stone walls and lighting that gives off warmth.
In keeping with this, the menu we offer features a selection of pintxos and dishes made using top quality local products from the Basque Country. Among those dishes are baby squid and char-grilled Iberian T-bone steak.
