8 late wine bars in Rioja, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All Rioja nightlife.
Tastavin ★ 4.6
Calle San Juan (Logrono) · Calle San Juan 25, 26001 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
The wine-led anchor of Calle San Juan, pouring roughly fifty references by the glass with Coravin for the rarer bottles. The expert local alternative to Laurel.
Tip: Calle San Juan draws the local wine crowd that finds Calle Laurel too touristy; Tastavin is its standard-bearer for serious by-the-glass Rioja.
Taberna Herrerias ★ 4.4
Casco Viejo (Logrono) · Calle Herrerias 24, 26001 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
A family-run Casco Viejo tavern with about two hundred mostly classic Rioja references poured in good glassware at reasonable prices.
Tip: A family-run old-town tavern for classic Rioja done properly; ask for a Reserva by the glass at the downstairs counter.
El Lagar ★ 4.3
Logrono centre · Calle Huesca 13, 26002 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
A wine-focused bar and kitchen with roughly 250 selections, balancing established Rioja names against newer small producers.
Tip: The breadth here runs from grand old houses to new-wave growers; a good place to taste the two faces of Rioja side by side.
La Tavina ★ 4.5
Calle Laurel (Logrono) · Calle Laurel 2, 26001 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
A three-floor wine bar, shop and tasting space at the head of Calle Laurel, with about twenty-five seasonal by-the-glass pours and a 600-bottle cellar.
Tip: Buy any bottle from the upstairs shop and drink it in the bar for a small corkage; Monday evenings often bring a visiting producer.
Bar Angel ★ 4.3
Calle Laurel (Logrono) · Calle Laurel 12, 26001 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
A half-century institution on Calle Laurel pairing cheap glasses of Rioja with its legendary grilled-mushroom pincho. Pure late-night Logrono tradition.
Tip: Order the champi (grilled mushroom) and a glass of crianza; the garlic-sauce recipe has been a Laurel secret for half a century.
Bar Soriano ★ 4.2
Calle Laurel (Logrono) · Travesia del Laurel 2, 26001 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
A signature single-pincho mushroom bar on the Laurel, pouring inexpensive house crianza late into the night.
Tip: One tapa, one purpose: the buttered garlic mushroom topped with a prawn, washed down with house red.
Bar Torrecilla ★ 4.2
Calle Laurel (Logrono) · Calle Laurel 15, 26001 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
A modern Calle Laurel bar pairing creative pinchos with a rotating Rioja by-the-glass list, busy late into the evening.
Tip: One of the more creative kitchens on Laurel; good for a later, more inventive pincho-and-wine stop.
La Vinoteca ★ 4.2
Calle Laurel (Logrono) · Calle Laurel 18, 26001 Logrono, La Rioja, Spain
A Calle Laurel wine bar with more than two hundred references across Rioja, cava, sparkling and vermouth, plus guided tastings.
Tip: Broader than most Laurel bars, with cava and vermouth alongside the Rioja; ask about the pairing flights.
