Bandido Brewing — Restaurant in Centro Histórico

Very cool craft beer bar with some excellent beer (some of the best we've had in South America). Also serves food, including some Ecuadorian dishes but we had Pizza which was excellent. Prices are reasonable, at happy hour you can get a 330ml for $2.50 or 500ml for $3.50 which was cheap compared to some other local offerings. Staff were very polite and service was great. They went above and beyond escorting us back to our local hostel after dark, as it wasn't safe, and we'd struggle to get a taxi for such a short distance. The Security officer was very helpful...

Beer and food are great here. We visited multiple restaurants, markets, and street food vendors. I can say that this is not a typical Ecuadorian restaurant, but rather more akin to an American bar or a European pub with an Ecuadorian flair. The beer is top notch. The food is familiar American/Mexican dishes with an Ecuadorian touch. This is definitely the place to visit for a great beer or if you've eaten all the Ecuadorian food you can handle and need a retreat to pizza, wings, nachos, and burgers. We had some sort of loaded French fries, nachos, and wings....

Nice place to gang out, the decoration is fun and interesting; looks like a chapel. Good service, excellent beer, prices begins at 1$USD sampler. On Fridays the place can be really crowded, you may have to wait. The place is small. They have also two bars If you go by yourself or with one person is possible to squeeze in. Food are good, I had chicken wings. It is possible to pay with credit card. I love to gang out here. It is located in downtown, the neighborhood is a little doggy but you can take “trole bus” (ecovia o trolley) to get there, also...
