Bar Americano occupies a corner of Hotel Alfonso XIII at Calle San Fernando 2, the grand hotel Seville built for the 1929 Ibero American Exposition. The room is art deco, the ceilings run high, and the dress code runs smarter than anywhere else in the city.
Spanish Glory ranks it among Seville's best cocktail bars on the strength of the setting and the classics. Eating Europe lists it for the same reason.
Cocktails cost about 20 euros. In a city of 2.50 euro cañas, that is the toll for the room.
High ceilings, polished wood, art deco lines, and hotel quiet. Tripadvisor reviewers call the space beautiful and overpriced in the same breath, which is the honest read.
Take a seat near the windows or the courtyard side and let the room do the work.
Hotel guests, anniversary couples, and Sevillanos marking an occasion. The bar stays calm while the rest of the city stands shoulder to shoulder.
Prado de San Sebastián metro and the tram stop sit five minutes away. No cover and no reservation needed for the bar.
