A modern-leaning pintxo bar on Calle Mercaderes, the first stretch of the encierro route as it climbs from the corrals, Iruñazarra pairs a quality-focused kitchen with genuinely late hours — a combination the old town doesn't always offer. The rotating creative pintxos have earned it a 4.4 rating across more than a thousand reviews, and the fact that it runs to 2:30am on weekends makes it a natural home for the back half of a crawl.

Whatever the kitchen has rotated onto the counter that week — the creative pintxos change and reward asking. A solid, contemporary take on the Navarran bar bite.
Later in the evening. When the more traditional bars wind down, Iruñazarra's late licence (to 2:30am Friday and Saturday) makes it the place the crawl migrates to.
On Mercaderes, where the bulls first turn into the old town — so you're standing on the most dramatic corner of the encierro. The late hours are the real differentiator here.
