There are hundreds of places that give that powerful character to the urban landscape of Seville. However, there are some bars so original that they escape the norm and the guides and rise as unusual experiences in Seville.
It is known that where beers,tapas or good gastronomy are dispensed there are enough incentives. But these proposals have added singularities: game nights, live music, a surprising look or literally consecrated cocktails.
A display of must-visit bars for spirits that do not conform to the norm.
1. Alhucema
Tomás captains this hidden gem on the corner of Carlos Cañal and Mateo Alemán. Alhucema ‘s appearance is reminiscent of an apothecary, a function that preceded the one that has been serving drinks and livening up the nights in the Arenal neighborhood for more than 40 years.
It looks like a speakeasy, these cocktail bars that emerge from inhospitable places and whose aesthetics always give surprises to the senses. But it is not. Alhucema looks as authentic and traditional as its patrons.
If you are looking for nights away from the cachimbas, the genres of our time and crowded nightclubs, Alhucema is a good place to start.
📍 c/ Mateo Alemán, 25
2. Lady Drama
Indie, rock, live music, comedy comedy, trivia nights and popcorn. El Arenal is fortunate to bring together in the same street the Teatro de la Maestranza and this other temple dedicated to the nights, and an unbeatable atmosphere and musical selection.
Dani and Carol are in charge of Lady Drama, this alternative project that will delight those who are not satisfied with places that replicate each other. They warn it in their bar and from here we do the same: reggaeton is not allowed here.
📍c/ Dos de Mayo, 10
3. Doctor Bar
Red tones dominate this bar that is already a classic in Feria Street. A catalog of drinks at competitive prices just steps away from the Alameda and in one of the most popular streets of the city.
You’ll be won over by its looks and you’ll stay for everything else. Added bonus: the exhibitions that you will temporarily find on its walls.
📍 c/ Feria, 7
4. Kame House
More than 100 types of beer, consoles, board games, contests and theme parties make Kame House one of the most original bars in Seville.
You will have to go to Los Remedios to be amazed by the aesthetics of this space.
Check out their social networks to keep up to date with all the events they host and their already consecrated Halloween Night.
📍 c/ Juan Sebastián Elcano, 14
5. Garlochí
Although Garlochí needs no introduction, it should not be missing in a compilation of original bars in Seville.
Because, let’s be honest, to say that its decoration is reminiscent of the precepts of the baroque is quite an understatement. You can sit under an old painting of the Duchess of Alba or under the protection of cherubs or images of the brotherhood.
Obligatory stop if you do not know this space next to the Alfalfa and taste the blood of Christ. A classic.
📍 c/ Boteros, 26
6. Pecata Mundi
A cocktail bar in the center of Seville that is not crowded by hordes of tourists or young people or both is to be appreciated. Especially if, as is the case in Pecata Mundi, it has its own character.
This place is original for many reasons. It has two distinct spaces: the bar itself with its peculiar decoration and gadgets and a coquettish Andalusian patio.
Purity where nomads, perpetuals and groups that give themselves unreservedly to the chat meet. It will be the good musical taste, the alternative vibe or the fact that it is still a hidden gem.
📍 c/ Álvarez Quintero, 8
7. Urbano
There will be those who still don’t know Urbano and, in that case, they are in luck. Beyond Setas and Ponce de León hides this essential to extend alternative nights.
Its appearance is almost an extension of the street: cobblestones, street lamps and one of the most unique toilets in Seville. There is a pool table, table soccer and darts, and rock and its derivatives are all you can expect to hear in this mythical bar next to San Roman.
📍 c/ Matahacas, 5
