Chapeau 1987 is a 1920s-styled cocktail and whisky bar just off the Passeig de Mallorca, all low light, brass and a long back bar.
The room trades on old-school glamour, per Palma Weekly, with a deep whisky shelf and a menu of classics and twists. It reads like a speakeasy without the gimmick.
Order an old fashioned or pick from the whisky list. This is a nightcap room, not a first round, and the bartenders take the menu seriously.
Service is unhurried and the crowd skews grown-up and local. Smart-casual dress suits the space.
Who would love it: drinkers after a quiet, well-made late drink. Who should skip it: anyone wanting a loud, early crowd or a terrace.
Chapeau works as the last stop of a Palma evening. The centre and Santa Catalina are both a short walk.
Chapeau 1987 appears on our list of the best bars in Palma, and the full Palma bar guide maps the rest of the city. Pair it with Ginbo or Cafe La Lonja nearby.
