It’s not just home to delicate tapas and sharing paella, there’s a whole host of different flavours to suit all taste buds in different eateries around the city. Restaurants like Az-Zait for fine dining in style and Pizzeria da Gabri for all your pizza needs are perfect examples that you don’t need to eat strictly Spanish food during your visit.

Of course, there’s plenty of places to go if you want a tapas fix! The Andalusian capital is world-renowned for its homage to the traditional Spanish way of eating, and it’s an easy way to line a group of lads’ stomachs before any activities you might have planned.

For any veggies out there, we highly suggest you order and try Espinacas con Garbanzos, a combination of chickpeas and spinach that will blow your mind.

Calle Betis

You’ll find Calle Betis on the verge of the Guadalquivir River, bustling from early evening until the wee hours of the morning. This street has a more chilled atmosphere than some of the nightlife areas in Seville but is an excellent place to start the night with a bit of tapas and local beer. Right on the river, restuarants like T de Triana are famed for pairing classic tapas cuisine with stunning views and another thing Seville is famous for – flamenco shows! Watch sensual Spanish dancers, tuck into tiny dishes and wash everything down with cheap beers and wines for a true Seville experience.

As for bars, there’s an overwhelming amount to choose from for just one single street. Calle Betis boasts some of the most popular late-night watering holes in the city, mainly because of the river drawing people in. One café come bar that’s worth visiting if you like strong cocktails is Press Triana, a more modern style venue with both indoor and outdoor seating depending on the weather. For something a bit more traditionally Spanish try La Tertulia for Cruzcampo beer and a welcoming atmosphere. And if all else fails? You can always find an Irish Pub, and the one on Calle Betis is Pheonix Pub and is always bustling.

El Arenal

Known as the place for ‘trendy tapas’, El Arenal is where a younger crowd like to spend their evenings drinking and dancing. Found right alongside Seville’s largest bullring and the gothic cathedral, it creates quite a unique backdrop for some of the stylish and modern cocktail bars around this area. You may not be able to visit all the venues in this area in one night, but you can certainly give it a go! One must-try bar in El Arenal is Cervecería Internacional, a place full of beers from all over the world, a wooden plated bar and plenty of booze that flows until 12am most nights.

An awesome place to start the last night of freedom right next to the river is DadáBar Sevilla, which is a buzzing piano bar once night falls. Drinking cocktails is the norm for groups now, and this place packs a punch when it comes to strong drinks and plenty of personality throughout the venue. From classic negroni’s to custom concoctions they’ll look after you for the evening! You can’t find Irish pubs everywhere you go if you look hard enough, but what about some Scottish tipple? The Clan Scottish Pub is there for all your British beer needs, but if you hop down the road you’ll find slightly more expensive taste at Le Xix cocktail bar, the choice is yours.

Alfalfa in Seville

Found far away from the river banks, Alfalfa sets a different tone for the night and has one gleaming quality – the price! You don’t need to pay extra for the river views in this nightlife district, and that means the prices for drinks and entry hits the floor! If you’re having a stag do in Seville on a budget, Alfalfa is the place to be. The king of late nights in Alfalfa is Ruko ‘N’ Roll bar on Calle Pérez Galdós, a cool and quirky bar with a lot of personality that’s been up and running in Alfalfa for years. This bright bar is situated next to Bodega La Espuela, a dark and moody bar that you’d probably miss if you just walked past it! Both have a great character and worth a visit if you’re down this neck of the woods.

A lot of the action after dark happens surrounding and underneath the Setas de Sevilla structure, an impressive sculpture that’s not hard to find. A popular bar that’s housed underneath the Setas de Sevilla is MOSS Lounge bar, a sophisticated watering hole that offers quality cocktails and comfortable seating to ease you into the last night of freedom. Right next door you’ll find the more chilled out MOTTO bar, home to gallons of Tanqueray and a clean-cut look. When you’ve visited a few bars, finish off the night at one of Seville’s best clubs – KOKO Club Sevilla!

Reasons to Visit

Authentic Flamenco

You might have two left feet yourself, but why not sit back and enjoy one of the sexiest forms of dance every created? There’s no better place to do it than Seville, home of flamenco.

Modern Meets History

A lot of people come to Seville solely for the rich culture, but Metropol Parasol (the largest wooden sculpture in the world) shows a more modern side of the city where you can touch base with bars, shops and cool sculptures.

The Weather

Like most places in Spain, the weather is great all year round. Seville also has the added advantage of being away from the sea, meaning less wind!

Guadalquivir River

The city of Seville doesn’t lack water, and the stunning Guadalquivir River makes up for the lack of coastline with river-lined restaurants and useful bridges.

Alcazar Palace

Jaw-dropping in its own right, this 14^th century royal court was also the filming destination of Dorne, home of the Sand Snakes in Game of Thrones.

How to Get Around Seville?

Just like any city, Seville is more than equipped to accommodate for tourists wanting to travel around. From a fully working, always running bus system, tram lines and the metro, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to transportation for your stag do in Seville. If you’re on a budget or just want to cut some bulk costs out by transport, travelling by bus is your best choice. Bus tickets are a tiny 1.40 euros per ticket, and Seville also offers the Bonobus voucher so you can buy 10 trips across the city for just 6 euros. If you’re looking to explore around Plaza Nueva and the Prado de San Sebastian bus station, hop on and off the one tram line in Seville.

For a mixture of reasons, bus and tram are definitely the most popular choice of transport in Seville. These lines are reliable and interchangeable to make exploring much easier during the weekend. However, there’s also the option of the metro train which is a newer mode of transport to Seville. The costs are the same as bus/tram with a Bonometro card on offer, but the metro runs for less time and can get quite hot and stuffy in the summer months.
