Olinda bar
Quick Verdict
Locals return because Josete and his partner make you feel at home, and the caipirinhas taste like they actually contain fruit and skill rather than just rum and ice. The space is tight but that's part of the charm.
You want the best caipirinha or mojito in Burgos and don't mind standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a cosy Brazilian bar run by people who care about what they're pouring.
About Olinda bar
Olinda is a small Brazilian cocktail bar on Calle San Lorenzo in central Burgos, run by Josete and a friendly female owner who've built a reputation for mojitos and caipirinhas that reviewers describe as the best in the city. The space is narrow with low ceilings—one reviewer notes it gets cramped—but the Brazilian-style décor and warm service make regulars overlook the tight quarters. You'll find yourself ordering a different caipirinha flavour each visit (strawberry gets specific mention), watching the owners prepare drinks with care, and leaving feeling like you've been welcomed into someone's home rather than served at a bar. Dogs are allowed, and the crowd skews toward groups looking for a proper drink before moving on.
What Stands Out
Caipirinhas and mojitos that justify the reputation
Reviewers consistently describe 'THE BEST mojitos I have ever tasted' and 'the best caipirinha bar in the world.' One visitor notes they try a different caipirinha flavour each visit because they're all worth ordering. The strawberry flavour gets specific praise.
Owners who make you feel genuinely welcome
Multiple reviews highlight Josete's warmth and skill: 'a hardworking man who has the gift of making us feel at home,' 'the owner makes you feel right at home,' and 'the woman is so lovely as well.' One long-time Burgos native says they'd lived there for years before discovering this place through friends.
Cosy, characterful atmosphere despite tight space
Reviewers describe 'a charming, landmark establishment,' 'cozy atmosphere,' and 'cozy Brazilian atmosphere.' One acknowledges the narrow space with low ceilings feels 'a bit overwhelming' but notes the décor helps, and the trade-off is worth it for the experience.
What Customers Say
En pleno centro de Burgos, calle San Lorenzo (los Herreros para los burgaleses) te encuentras este curioso local donde tomar mojitos y caipis para todos los gustos.
Por ponerle un "pero" el local es estrecho y con techos bajos, con lo que es un poco agobiante; cierto es que la decoración, de estilo propio, ayuda a ester mejor, pero aún así muchas apreturas.

Tuesday to Thursday 6pm–2am, Friday and Saturday 6pm–3am. Closed Sunday and Monday. Arrive before 8:30pm if you want a seat; weekends fill fast.
€1–€10 depending on what you order. Most cocktails sit at the lower end of that range, making it good value for Burgos centre.
No online booking. It's walk-in only, and the space is small—groups should arrive early on weekends or expect to stand at the bar.
Small and cosy with low ceilings. One reviewer notes it gets cramped, but the Brazilian décor and atmosphere compensate. Dogs are allowed.
One review mentions 'the best stews in Burgos,' but the focus is clearly cocktails. Treat it as a drinking bar, not a restaurant.
