Sevilla Nightlife

Sevilla’s nightlife is as hot as its scorching summer afternoons. During the school year, bars and discotecas throughout the city are packed regardless what day it is. Come summer, many indoor venues close as crowds head to breezy riverside terrazas and giant outdoor dance clubs. No matter the season, a typical night out on the town begins with tapas and drinks (in bars or in a giant mass of students on the city’s major plazas), continues with dancing at discotecas, and ends with an early morning breakfast of churros con chocolate. Perennially energetic bars can be found around Calle Mateos Gago near the cathedral, Calle Adriano by the bullring, and Calle del Betis across the river in Triana; several popular summertime clubs lie along the river near Puente de la Barqueta. Gay establishments cluster around the Plaza de Armas and the Alameda de Hercules in La Macarena.
