John's Bar is the cool local spot which is also frequented by tourists creating a fun mix of people…read morewatching opportunities. Right in the pedestrian zone full of shops and restaurants, this is the perfect spot for a drink any time of day or night. There always seems to be a fun vibe and decent amount of patrons at this lively spot, probably due to them engaging the locals. Karaoke on Saturdays and some Wednesdays (check the chalkboard sign out front for dates and times) is a hit and you can be sure there will be a fun gathering and sing along during these evenings. They have inside and outside tables available (even when it is cooler the outside is open).

What a gem. Located off the Avenida de la Constitución (Main Street) near the cathedral, is…read moreperhaps Seville's best cocktail bar. The menu for their drinks is based on 80s movies: Lost Boys, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, etc. Order the Pulp Fiction and they bring you a Delorean that takes off. Order the Lost Boy and they bring you a blood kit with a communion wafer. I ordered a Vodka Martini. The waitress went and got Frank the head bartender. I explained what I wanted: a classic Vodka Martini, stirred but not shaken. He immediately understood. What came out was perhaps the best martini I've had in Europe. No easy feat. I told frank that he should name it: Octopussy in homage to the Roger Moore 80s 007 film. 80s music is blaring and the crowd is Gen X. If you go, ask for a Vodka Martini and tell Frank a former "Company" man sent you.

Almost a perfect gem in the Santa Cruz neighborhood. Kind of walk from the main restaurants and…read morebars, but not too far either. The entrance is a bit hidden, you need to walk in and see the LE XIX sign on a billboard or the wall. Only reason for a 4 vs 5 star rating here would be that the menu is short and not easily accessible. It's written on the left side of the bar. Only, only do the mainstream popular classic cocktails, so nothing too extraordinary. But for sure a great spot to stop at either with a group or for an intimate date. The decor and seating is more classy than casual imo, but either way no need for a jacket or coat to come here, casual attire is fine.

I stopped into the Fun Club with a friend of mine that has been living in Sevilla the past year. It…read morewas a pretty fun bar to go out for dancing. Spanish nightlife is a little different from what I am used to back in the States but we still had a great time. The bar staff were pretty quick at taking care of your order and the bouncers were actually pretty chill. €5 gets you in and a free shot at the bar. The bar is off to the right side and the rest of the bar is dominated by the dance floor. At the back of the bar by the bathrooms there are a few tables to sit down at. The Bad: You have to pay cover to get into the bar before you are really sure how many people will be in there so its kind of a hit or miss on whether there will be a lot of people to socialize in there with. Also, the theme of the bar is American Rock. It is poorly executed as all the music being played was pop.

Fun club was a great place to dance and drink if you want to have a long night without going to a real discoteca. Feels more like a bar than a club (so cheaper drinks and usually less packed) but all the dancing of a club.
