  4. Antigüedades

    It may seem a little strange with the weird sack-like effigies and stools hanging upside-down from the ceiling, but this place has definite pulling power. Perhaps it's the mellow beats or the cool groovers hanging out there.

  5. Antique Teatro

    Notorious for turning foreigners away, get your hair slicked back Sevilla-style, if you're a man, and look drop-dead gorgeous if you're a woman, and try getting into this top club, located at the Expo '92 Olympic Pavillion.

  10. Bar Ego

    In terms of hipness and trendy places to go out, La Alameda is where it's at. The slightly run-down feeling of the area adds to the exclusivity and repels the more posh sevillanos, so the boho lot get to keep the place more or less to themselves. Bar Ego is a strange hybrid of a DJ bar, restaurant, clothes shop and art gallery, and strives for something completely different in predominantly traditional Seville. It's newly opened, Barcelona-hip, and original, and we are hoping it'll survive.

    Dedicated and decorated in honour of all things in print (prensa is 'press' in Spanish), the walls are stuck with yellowed, printed paper and create a warm (and highly flammable) effect. The bar is relaxed and people come to have a beer and a game of cards here.

  27. El Perro Andalúz

    A bar dedicated to the eponymous surrealist film by Buñuel and Dalí, with suitably odd decor, such as stand-up hair dryers as lamps, chairs with a large eye printed across them (but, thankfully, without being sliced by a razor, like in the movie). Live music is on most nights, just ask in advance what they are staging.
