Among a lot of years Ribera Bar was managed by Luis “El Chapas” and his partner Mari Mar, neighbors from Ribera de Deusto during their whole life. At the bar took place the best card plays and on Sundays it even worked as a rustled up hair salon.

Before being a bar it was occupied by some other companies such as Electricidad Uria.

For more than 10 years Ribera Bar was managed by Vanesa and Jon Ander, who helped her during the afternoon. In the pictures we can see the bar before and after the rehabilitation as well as Raquel, “The Grandmother” during her goodbye for the retirement from her position as a cook at “El Ribera”.

Nowadays Olga and “El rubio” run the bar.

Victor arrived to the neighborhood in 1989 to work in a household appliance company. He and his family were the alma mater of this bar until 2015.

The name of the bar is a heritage of its former owner, Julian. In his memory a commemorative plaque is kept in the petril, in front of the bar, where he used to go and take some fresh air at 15.30 after the menu service.

Urederra is the first bar we find when entering La Ribera. Still known by many as “the Zorrozaurre”, it was born in 2002 on the initiative of David Isasi Carrascosa, who still runs it.

David says that the first owner of the bar was a Vicinay worker who, when the night shift was over, made sandwiches to sell to the workers of the same company. They say that he also used to cut hair.

Ángel and Natalia accompanied the neighborhood for years at Begoña Bar,making the best potato omelettes of La Ribera.

Before being El Begoña the local was also the Bar Morga, owned by Santi (along with the Bar Santi), as well as the neighborhood’s tobacco shop.
In 2014 it was closed for the rehabilitation of the building, and in 2015 it opened its doors again with new owners.
Now the bar is managed by Emilio who arrived to the neighborhood to run its historic bar. His tortillas are still very good.
