Bi Ur Arte
Biarritz
At a glance
Bi Ur Arte is a restaurant and bar on the seafront at 83 Boulevard de la Mer in Hendaye, with the ocean forming the backdrop to its drinks-led atmosphere. The venue combines a sunny terrace with an indoor veranda, giving the setting a practical option for changing weather while keeping the coastal position central to the experience.
Beer is a major part of the identity. The selection includes Basque, Belgian, American and Irish styles, alongside a locally brewed Basque beer made with a strong emphasis on regional products. Cocktails also feature prominently, making the drinks list suited to both casual daytime stops and evening gatherings. Food is served in a restaurant setting, although the venue's character is particularly defined by its bar selection and relaxed seafront location rather than by a specific regional cuisine.
Bi Ur Arte has an entertainment-focused side as well. Three screens are used for important sporting occasions, including football, tennis and motor racing, while the programme can also include musical evenings and karaoke. These features give the venue a more animated feel than a quiet, formal dining room, particularly when a match or event is being shown. The layout and drinks offering make it suitable for social meetings, after-beach refreshments and informal evenings with friends.
The terrace provides the most direct connection with the sea on clear days, while the veranda offers an alternative for unsettled weather. The combination of casual restaurant service, a varied beer list, cocktails and organised entertainment places Bi Ur Arte within the lively bar-and-bistro tradition found along the Basque coast. It can work as a stop for visitors exploring Hendaye, as well as for travellers following the coast from Biarritz towards the Spanish border.
Reservations are handled by telephone, and the restaurant can provide the most current information about seating, events and menu details before a visit. For a sea-facing drink, a sports broadcast or a sociable evening with a broad beer choice, Bi Ur Arte offers a straightforward coastal setting in Hendaye.
