Great place to go for cheap, authentic Spanish tapas. Be prepared for a bustling crowd and some noise.

This bar is also known as Las Columnas and is recommended by everyone I talked to, as well as listed in guidebooks. When we walked by the first time, it was packed and people were spilling out into the street, napkins and various debris on the ground. It didn't look great. We went by and continued our walk, eventually walking... More

Reviews were great, but hey, no room on a hot day, and it looked distinctly like a good broom could do some work on cleaning it up.

The staff here clearly enjoy their work and that creates a fun and friendly atmosphere. Rather than having to nervously shuffle to the bar wondering how to ask for what you want, the staff will ask you as soon as you walk in what you would like to drink and start your tab on the bar with chalk.

This place is right up my street. It was suggested to me by the walking tour guide in Sevilla. Best to go when it's busy...much more fun and memorable. Tapas, I just really had to guess from the list on the boards or better yet, look around, point to it and say "uno par favor" plus "uno cerveza". They keep... More

You can really experience the feel of Sevilla and enjoy the heart of the city at this place. Late night we enjoyed the live music in the street in front of the bar. Definitely worth a stop for a quick tapa and beer.

I loved this place. It felt like a real tapas bar - no foodie pretentiousness - just great food, a marvellous atmosphere and staff who joined in the banter. Will definitely go back..

We stumbled upon this little place from reading a blog. It was easy to find and was busy no matter what time of day you showed up. There are a couple of spots to sit inside but we choose a spot outside where you just stand at a table. We ordered a couple of beers and the pork sirloin in... More
