Seville's old town is one of the largest in Europe, its warm climate pulls drinkers onto terraces, and sherry turns up on its cocktail menus beside house-made vermouth. The best bars in Seville sit inside that historic center, from the streets around La Magdalena to the edge of Santa Cruz. On Calle San Pablo, Montana fills a 1926 building by architect Juan Talavera with signature cocktails named for Seville legends, such as Don Juan Tenorio, and adds live flamenco. On Argote de Molina, Naked and Famous names its signatures for the peoples of the city's past, from Phoenicians and Romans to Almohads, and its Romans mixes manzanilla with Parmesan. Aníbal Club on Calle Francos works like a hidden private club, pouring a Pine Martini and oyster wine. Chaman Cocktail Bar centers its list on the classics, from the Last Word to the Hanky Panky, and La Terraza del EME looks over the Cathedral and the Giralda from a hotel roof. Montana's flamenco runs Sunday to Thursday and is worth booking. These are the bars we would start with.

Coctelería Montana is a signature cocktail bar on Calle San Pablo, facing the church of La Magdalena in Seville's old town. Its drinks draw on the history of the building and the city, with cocktails named after Sevillian figures such as Don Juan Tenorio and La Susona. Every night the bar hosts an intimate hour of live flamenco, bookable separately, while tables for cocktails alone can be reserved free.

Muon Cocktail Bar is a cocktail bar at Calle Amor de Dios 38 in Seville, open Tuesday to Sunday from 6pm, until 1am most nights and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. There is no printed menu: the evening starts with a welcome drink on the house, which is how the bartenders learn what you like, and from there they pour a classic chosen from two centuries of cocktails, made the way it was always meant to be. Cocktails are priced between 12 and 14 euros. It is a bartender’s choice room rather than a list to read, built around conversation at the bar and the classics done properly.
Aníbal Club is a speakeasy run by the El Pintón group, hidden inside a historic building in the center of Seville. The bar pairs signature cocktails such as a pine Martini, a banana and stout highball and a house Negroni with flavored wines by the glass. A short list of plates, from oysters to steak tartare on brioche, is served alongside.
Chaman is a cocktail bar on Calle Puerta de la Carne that describes itself as a specialist in classic cocktails. The team wants each drink to come with its story, talking guests through the history and techniques behind what they order and adapting to their tastes. A weekly featured cocktail rotates through the menu.
La Terraza del EME sits on the roof of the Hotel EME Catedral Mercer, a 16th century building in the Santa Cruz district. The panoramic bar looks straight onto the Cathedral and the Giralda and serves cocktails with a selection of cold local tapas. On Friday and Saturday nights resident DJ Aaron Acevedo plays sessions.
