-
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.
-
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. In the summer, there's a torch-lit garden and cocktail sipping under the stars.
-
Apandau
Looking more like a palatial greenhouse than a disco, Apandau has three separate halls in which to salsa the night away.
-
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.

Café Central

-
Café de la Prensa
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.
-
Casa de la Moneda
Part of a group of rambling old buildings, Casa de la Moneda is a fine watering hole that offers old-world charm, tapas, and football on TV.

Cervecería International

-
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.
-
Elefunk
A super popular club packed with youngsters in search of, well, funk.

Habanilla
The bohemian, alternative mix of characters along Alameda de Hércules can seem a bit seedy at first. But step inside the Habanilla Café and you'll discover the street's arty side. The cafe has an offbeat atmosphere that spills out into the Alameda in summer.
-
La Antigua Bodeguita
Plaza del Salvador throbs with drinkers from mid-evening to and is a great place to down a couple of beers al fresco . Grab a drink from La Antigua Bodeguita or La Sapotales next door and sit on the steps of the Parroquia del Salvador.
-
La Otra Orilla
If you're lucky enough to be spending some of your summer in Seville, relaxed drinking in a terrace bar by the banks of the Guadalquivir is one of the best ways to see the sun go down. La Otra Orilla is blessed with a great outdoor terrace and music that buzzes hypnotically into the night.
