A small gin den near Plaza de Armas where the owner reads your taste and builds the gin tonic himself, from a wall of more than 200 bottles.
La Gintoneria does one thing at Calle Marqués de Paradas 55: gin and tonics, built theatrically in balloon glasses with fruit, juniper, and the occasional puff of dry ice. The bar deliberately skips cocktails, so you choose from a back wall of more than 200 gins instead, several distilled in Seville.
Owner Miguel works the room like a sommelier. One Google reviewer wrote that he opened up a whole new world of gin tonics, and the 4.4 average over 419 Google reviews repeats that story.
The room is small, modern, and cozy, with the gin wall as the only decoration that matters and a terrace outside for warm Seville nights. Air conditioning keeps the interior workable in August, which counts for plenty here.
Late afternoon brings travelers off the Plaza de Armas circuit; locals fill the room later. Google reviewers note it gets busy later in the evenings, so arrive before 21:00 if you want Miguel’s full attention.
Beer hunters should know the nearby brewpub Maquila Bar closed in June 2024. On this block, gin won.
