Review & discussion links
Crowd signal
Google 4.8★ across 881 reviews.
The fresh result is the same operational cocktail_bar/pub Place ID and matches the stored Angel Kalea 4 address. The Google listing points to the venue's official Facebook page; Artelíquido and Apple Maps corroborate its bar identity/location, and Condé Nast Traveller's 2026 San Sebastián bar guide identifies the same owner-run Arraun at Angel Kalea 4 bajo. The social page itself was not publicly extractable, so that source-access limit remains explicit.
