What Bar Americano Is
Bar Americano occupies a corner of Hotel Alfonso XIII at Calle San Fernando 2, the grand hotel Seville built for the 1929 Ibero American Exposition. The room is art deco, the ceilings run high, and the dress code runs smarter than anywhere else in the city.
Spanish Glory ranks it among Seville's best cocktail bars on the strength of the setting and the classics. Eating Europe lists it for the same reason.
Cocktails cost about 20 euros. In a city of 2.50 euro cañas, that is the toll for the room.
Reading the Room
High ceilings, polished wood, art deco lines, and hotel quiet. Tripadvisor reviewers call the space beautiful and overpriced in the same breath, which is the honest read.
Take a seat near the windows or the courtyard side and let the room do the work.
The Menu, Edited
Who Shows Up, and When
Hotel guests, anniversary couples, and Sevillanos marking an occasion. The bar stays calm while the rest of the city stands shoulder to shoulder.
That calm is the product.
What Regulars Say
- Tripadvisor rates it 4.0, and reviewers split between the perfect spot and insanely expensive for Seville.
- Yelp reviewers single out the art deco interior and the courtyard.
- The slow service complaint repeats across platforms; waits over half an hour show up in more than one review.
- Spanish Glory keeps it on the city's best cocktail bars list for the setting alone.
Who It Is For
- A date that needs to impress without raising your voice.
- Cocktail drinkers who rate the room as half the drink.
- Avoid if you are counting euros. Two drinks here buys a full tapas crawl in Triana.
