A 17th century corner house in San Lorenzo running the old grocery and tavern format: sherry by the glass, gildas, and shelves of goods.
Antigua Abaceria de San Lorenzo recreates the grocery shop that pours, a format that mostly vanished from Seville in the last century. You drink sherry at Calle Teodosio 53 surrounded by shelves of goods in a 17th century corner house that keeps its original facade.
The Consejo Regulador lists it as an official Sherry Spot, and Spanish Sabores and Devour Tours both rank it among the city’s best wine stops. Ramon and Carmen founded it in 1995; after a closure it reopened under the same name with several original dishes intact.
Only the ground floor is in use since the reopening, fitted out with the charming clutter of an old abaceria, per Azahar Sevilla’s 2024 visit. The corner house keeps its rooftop turret and period bones.
This is a quiet San Lorenzo local room, not a tourist circuit stop. The kitchen rests between 16:30 and 20:00, so plan a long lunch or a proper evening.
Since the Alameda’s brewpub Maquila Bar closed in June 2024, rooms like this one inherited more of the neighborhood’s slow drinkers.
