With clubs and bars open until the wee hours of the morning, Spain’s vibrant nightlife is famous the world over – and with good reason! We must admit, when Friday night comes, there’s nothing better than heading out for a fiesta with friends. However, Seville’s nightlife is certainly not for the fainthearted, with dedicated party-goers dancing until as late (or as early) as 6 or 7 o’clock in the morning.
With clubs for those with never-ending stamina, late bars where a boogie is optional, and outdoor terraces to enjoy the summer air, there’s something for everyone. Read on to find out where to party in Seville and make sure you find the area with the best fiesta for you.
Our picks: Top places to party in Seville
Alameda de Hércules
Once an undesirable area of the city, the Alameda de Hércules has been reinvented into not just a foodie haven, but also a great place to enjoy the Seville nightlife. Well known as a more alternative part of Seville, this is a hangout for the younger, hip crowd, and also home to some of the most popular gay bars and clubs in the city.
Hop from the modern and cozy Gigante Bar to local favorite, and always lively, Café Central for some casual drinks on the Alameda square before getting your dancing shoes on. If you’re hoping to enjoy some popular reggaeton music, without the temptation of a 7am return home, head to Carambolo, a recently opened late bar with three floors. If you’ve got a serious commitment to partying, there’s the indie rock stylings of Fun Club along with Obbio by Holiday (Calle Jesús del Gran Poder, 73), one of the most popular gay-friendly clubs in Seville, both of which are open until the early morning.

Alfalfa
One of the most historic parts of Seville, and home to some exceptional restaurants, it’s funny to think that Alfalfa is also a hotspot for university-goers looking for a party. Students gather on a nightly basis along the strip of bars that slopes up towards Discoteca Tokyo (Cuesta del Rosario, 12), so the vibe along that stretch is definitely geared towards a younger, international crowd – and is also home to some of the best, budget-friendly drink deals in the city!
If you’re looking for something a little more relaxed in the area, check out some of the amazing cocktail bars nearby, especially The Second Room (Calle del Placentines, 19) for a great espresso martini, or head along to the rooftop bars by the Cathedral and catch the amazing views from the Hotel Doña Maria Terrace (Calle Don Remondo, 19), where you’ll regularly catch live music in the summer months.
Paseo de Cristóbal Colón
Down by the river, you’ll find Paseo de Cristóbal Colón, home to a strip of more sophisticated, modern late bars, perfect to enjoy a mixed drink in Seville. From clocking off time on Friday onwards, this weekend hotspot is hugely popular with locals looking to blow off some steam after a long working week, gin tonic in hand.
Head to local favorite Boga and make sure and try the local specialty gin, Puerto de Indias, a pink gin distilled in Seville. If you’re looking to extend your night, nearby, three-floor nightclub Uthopia (Plaza de la Legión) has different styles of music on each floor, just make sure not to leave it too late – the queue is known to be enormous at the weekends.
Paseo de las Delicias
In the summer months, a string of amazing terrace bars and nightclubs open up down the riverside, past the Torre del Oro and onto Paseo de las Delicias. With great music, lively atmosphere and open air surroundings, these are great places to party in Seville while enjoying the light summer breeze after the sun goes down.
For a starter drink, head to Chile or Muelle New York, late bars loaded with smartly-dressed locals downing copas of rum and cokes, before hitting the terrazas. Alfonso is typically very popular with students and often has themed, Erasmus nights geared towards the international crowd, but terraces like Libano and Bilindo tend to be a slightly older, more local crowd, so there is a terrace for everyone!
Calle Betis
Over the bridge in the Triana neighborhood, you’ll find another great strip of bars along Calle Betis with a variety of different types of music and atmosphere. This is the perfect place to do as the locals do and hop from bar to bar, having a drink or two at each stop.
You’ll even find a number of authentic flamenco bars along this part of the city, such as T de Triana which has great flamenco on Thursday and Saturday nights. If you’re in Seville in July, Calle Betis hosts a huge, April Fair-like celebration called the Velá de Santiago y Santa Ana with tents full of plenty of drinking and partying into the night.

Hi Jamie in need of urgent help I’m I. Volved in planning a wedding for Friday 7th April 2020 in Hotel Alfonso for a young Irish coue with lots of Irish rowdy friends.. As the music ends around 11.30ish at the hotel they are looking for an after party event do you have any suggestions somewhere within close walking distance to the hotel if possible if not taxis will be on hand
Would really appreciate your input
Hi Paula! There are a couple of Alfonso hotels, Alfonso X and Alfonso XIII, but both have taxi stand service so you shouldn’t have any problems, especially if you order them at hotel reception in advance. In Seville, nightlife usually doesn’t kick off until midnight or even 1 am. April is a great time of year to enjoy the night clubs on Paseo Colon right across the street from the river! Best wishes for the wedding!

Hi Jamie, I’m thinking about Seville for a break with friends in January. This guide is great, but is it all still open in January?
Thanks
Hi Sian—with the exception of some of the rooftop bars, all of these places should still be open in January. Have a wonderful trip to Seville!
Hi Jamie, we are a group or 15 going to Seville for a birthday weekend in December.
Any recommandation for a bar big enough so that we can book a space for 15 and have drinks / bites to eat. Ideally a bar with music and not to far to a nice club that you would recommend for afterwards ?
Hi Vicky—here’s a list of some of our favorite restaurants for large groups in Seville: https://devoursevillefoodtours.com/restaurants-for-groups-in-seville/

hey, great article. do you guys think its ok to go there in end of july? or will the people leave the city for the beach areas?

Hi Rico, Seville might be a bit emptier than usual in late July, but there will still be plenty of locals around. In fact, one of our favorite summertime festivals in Spain takes place in Seville at the end of July—Triana’s Velá de Santa Ana—so it’s an especially great time to visit! Have a great trip!
