The 10 Best Cocktail Bars in Seville

Montana is the room Seville's cocktail crowd names first, a polished bar where the bartenders treat a classic with the respect it deserves and the seasonal menu actually changes. The space is small and dimly lit, which keeps the focus on the glass rather than the scene. Regulars on r/sevilla point newcomers here when they want a drink built by someone who knows what they are doing. We rate it as the city's most dependable cocktail night. Sit at the bar, watch the work, and let the bartender steer if you cannot choose.

Order: A mezcal negroni

Named for the modern mezcal classic, Naked and Famous lives up to its billing with an agave heavy list and a confident, low lit room in the Alameda. The bartenders favour smoke and citrus, and the menu rewards anyone willing to step past a gin tonic. Maps reviewers praise the technique and the relaxed welcome, a combination that keeps the bar full of locals rather than only tourists. We send adventurous drinkers here. Go later in the evening, once the Alameda has woken up, and order the drink the bar is named after.

Order: A Naked and Famous

Spain runs on the gin tonic, and La Gintoneria turns that national habit into an art, with a long wall of bottles and a serve built to order in the big copa glass. The staff match botanicals to your chosen gin with real care, garnishing for aroma rather than show. Reviewers love the range and the patience behind the bar. We rate it for anyone who thinks they are tired of gin and needs proof otherwise. Early evening is calm and ideal for a slow first drink before dinner.

Order: A premium gin tonic, garnished to the spirit

The Second Room plays the speakeasy card, a hidden, reservation friendly bar where the menu is inventive and the room is built for lingering. The drinks lean creative without losing balance, and the low light and tight seating make it a strong date pick. Locals treat it as a special occasion room rather than a casual drop in. We rate it for a night that wants a little mystery. Book ahead, since the small space fills, and let the bartender talk you through the house originals.

Order: A house signature off the seasonal list

Gallo Rojo blends a cultural space with a cocktail bar, hosting art and events alongside a creative drinks list that draws a young, engaged crowd. The room feels more Berlin than Andalusia, in the best way, and the cocktails keep pace with the design. Maps reviewers like the atmosphere and the willingness to experiment. We rate it for anyone who wants their drink with a side of the city's creative scene. Check what is on, since an exhibition or a session often turns a quiet night lively.

Order: A seasonal sour

El Rinconcillo claims to be the oldest bar in Seville, pouring since 1670, and the bartenders still chalk your tab on the worn wooden counter. It is a sherry house first, but the vermouth and the classic spirits are part of the ritual, and no cocktail list in the city carries this much history. Every guide names it, and for once the hype is earned. We include it because Seville drinking starts here. Stand at the bar, order a fino and a plate of jamon, and watch the chalk add up.

Order: A chilled fino sherry

Casa Morales has poured since 1850 from giant clay tinajas behind the bar, and it remains one of the most atmospheric old taverns in the city. The drink here is sherry and vermouth rather than a shaken cocktail, served with the kind of brusque warmth that defines an Andalusian institution. Reviewers treat a visit as essential, and we agree. It is the antidote to anywhere that tries too hard. Squeeze in among the locals, order from the barrels, and take the small standing tables at the back.

Order: A house vermouth on tap

La Brunilda built its reputation on modern tapas, but the bar pairs the kitchen with a tight, well chosen drinks list that makes it a fine first or last stop. The room is small and always busy, so the trick is timing rather than booking. Maps reviewers rave about the food and the value, and a vermouth or a glass of cava alongside is the local way. We rate it for anyone who wants drinks anchored by genuinely good plates. Arrive at opening, since the queue forms fast and the tables are few.

Order: A glass of cava with the tapas

La Terraza del EME puts you eye to eye with the Giralda, the rooftop of a design hotel with the best cathedral view in the city paired with a proper cocktail list. The drinks cost more than the taverns below, but you are paying for the single finest sunset seat in Seville. Reviewers agree the view justifies the markup for at least one evening. We rate it for a special night or a first drink that sets the tone. Book a sunset table, since they go quickly in the warm months.

Order: A gin tonic as the Giralda lights up

Bar Alfalfa is a sliver of a corner bar where the vermouth and sherry flow and the Italian leaning tapas punch far above the size of the room. There is barely space to stand, which is the charm, and the crowd spills onto the street corner with glasses in hand. Maps reviewers adore it, and locals defend it as a Santa Cruz essential. We rate it for the start of a crawl, when standing room and a cold glass is all you want. Go early, since the corner clogs happily by nightfall.

Order: A vermut de grifo with bruschetta
