Welcome to Kafe Antzokia

Welcome to Kafe Antzokia, Bilbao's most important live music hotspot, now also open in Ondarroa, a coastal village between Bilbao and San Sebastian.

Open in Bilbao in december 1995, Kafe Antzokia is a former theatre building renewed to become a complete cultural venue. Our stage features mostly music (from Basque music to international pop-rock bands, world music, reggae...) and theatre.

In addition to the shows on stage, our DJ's play a wide selection of music every weekend, with special attention to Basque pop-rock. So, Kafe Antzokia is one of the most crowded places in Bilbao every saturday night.

But Kafe Antzokia is not alive only by night. At every hour of the day there are different ambiances and people. In the morning, many students came to have a coffee break. And at lunch time, it becomes a restaurant (with tables set even on the stage!) wich serves meals daily for more than 200 people.

Every sunday afternoon children have their time to enjoy clowns' shows and theatre. Youths between 12 and 16 also have their own activities every saturday afternoon.

Kafe Antzokia is not just a music club with live shows like so many others you may already know. it's part of a collective project which is "non profit" or which we could better describe as "cultural profit". All the revenues generated by our work are re-invested in promoting our language, the Basque language, by means of Zenbat Gara, the culture association funded by Kafe Antzokia.
