This wine cellar opened its doors in popular, bustling calle del Río de la Pila in 1940. El Riojano oozes with tradition and art. It was refurbished in 2009 by new management that has successfully kept the essence of the place. To the left, the classic wooden bar, with a good selection of nibbles, sausages, cheeses, stuffed peppers, stewed jaw, freshly prepared riojanitos... To the right, high and low tables for long chats and tasting sessions. Every wall is hung with an amazing collection of bowls painted by significant contemporary artists such as Alcaín, Mompó and Genovés.
