Bandido Brewing

Quito


These guys from Oregon produce their own creative brews such as La Gran Calabaza Imperial Pumpkin Ale (made with cinnamon, cloves and pumpkin spice) and La Gua.Pa (an American Pale Ale flavored with guayusa, a tea leaf native to the Ecuadorian Amazon). The bar has a vaguely Gothic feel, with stone walls, wooden benches and even a small chapel.

The menu includes freshly baked pizzas and bar snacks, and there's live music on Tuesdays from 7pm. Happy hour is from 4pm to 7pm.
