Why go
A compact Spanish bar in Susukino with counter seating for four, sommelier-led wine service, and a focus on Hokkaido seafood. Tabelog Spanish Cuisine 100 for 2024 and 2026, it offers solid value at JPY 5,000–5,999 per head, though the designated smoking area may not suit everyone. Book a counter seat if you want to interact with the kitchen; table seating is fine but less engaging.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Bar ESTARICO presents itself as a Spanish-style tavern tucked into Susukino and directly connected to Susukino Station. The listing highlights a focus on sake within a Spanish-bar concept, positioning the venue as a niche, contemporary spot for drink-focused evenings. Sectionalized smoking is noted, which suggests distinct seating areas and a straightforward, urban bar layout. The combination of Spanish tavern flavors and a sake-forward drinks program creates an atmosphere that leans towards lively, modern nightlife without elaborate frills — a practical, concept-driven bar for people who are curious about cross-cultural drinking experiences.
Best For
This venue is best for people seeking a casual night out in Susukino, especially those interested in exploring sake within a Spanish-bar setting. Its direct connection to Susukino Station makes it an easy stop for commuters, visitors, and neighborhood regulars. The format and description point to an informal, drink-centric outing rather than a formal dining experience, so it works well for after-work drinks, relaxed meetups with friends, or solo visits for sake tasting in a laid-back bar environment. Reservations online are available for planning purposes.
Ordering Tips
Bar ESTARICO emphasizes sake within a Spanish tavern framework, so prioritize exploring their sake selections alongside any Spanish-inspired small plates they may offer. The listing specifically notes sectionalized smoking — consider this when booking or choosing a spot if you prefer a non-smoking area. The venue accepts online reservations, which is useful for securing a table in Susukino’s busy evenings. Beyond these points the description provides limited menu detail, so treat the concept (Spanish tavern for sake lovers) as your main cue when ordering.

Restaurant context
At JPY 5,000–5,999, Bar ESTARICO sits in the middle tier of Sapporo dining, more expensive than Fujiya NOODLE (JPY 1,000–1,999) or Ganso Sapporo Ramen Mogura (under JPY 1,000), but well below Mieda's JPY 30,000–39,999 fugu kaiseki. For wine-focused Spanish cuisine with Tabelog recognition, the value is fair. Booking is easier than at Sushi Saikou, where omakase formats and limited seating create more competition for slots.
If you want a sommelier-guided experience and don't mind a compact, basement setting, this venue delivers. For those prioritizing a quieter, smoke-free environment or seeking a splurge-worthy kaiseki meal, Mieda is the better bet. Ramen hunters should stick to Fujiya NOODLE or Ramen Shingetsu for quick, sub-JPY 2,000 bowls. Bar ESTARICO works for travelers who want something between casual noodles and formal Japanese dining, Spanish tapas with local fish, decent wine, and a counter seat if you book early.
