5 reviewed party hostels · from €16.74/night · Hostelworld rated
Seville’s nightlife doesn’t just start when the sun goes down: it kicks off on hostel rooftops. La Banda Rooftop Hostel turns its terrace into a flamenco stage most evenings, with live guitar, singing, and the occasional impromptu dance. By midnight, the action shifts to Alameda de Hércules, a square lined with bars where locals and travellers mix over cheap cañas and tapas. The hostel scene here is small but social; places like The Nomad and TOC organise bar crawls that hit underground spots most tourists miss. Stay within the old city walls, and you’ll never be more than a 15-minute walk from the next drink.

Organised nights out with a local guide
This crawl starts at Alameda 47 Rooftop Bar, where you’ll get a welcome shot and a chance to meet the group. From there, it moves to three bars in the Alameda district, each with a different theme: think dive bars, cocktail lounges, and a spot with live music. The night ends with VIP entry to a club like Fun Club or Antique Teatro, skipping the queue. Drinks are included at the first two stops.
A more low-key option, this crawl focuses on local bars in the multicultural district. The route changes weekly, but you’ll always hit spots with authentic atmosphere: no tourist traps. Expect small plates of tapas with each drink and a mix of Spanish and international travellers. The crawl ends around midnight, but the group often continues to a late-night bar or club.
How Seville's nightlife zones break down
The old town is a maze of narrow streets, plazas, and hidden bars. It’s where you’ll find the cathedral, the Alcázar, and most of the city’s hostels. By day, it’s all about sightseeing; by night, the area around Plaza de la Encarnación and Calle Mateos Gago comes alive with tapas bars and rooftop terraces. Stay here if you want to be in the thick of it.
This neighbourhood is Seville’s nightlife hub. The square itself is lined with bars, and the streets behind it hide dive bars and late-night clubs. It’s less touristy than Casco Antiguo but still packed on weekends. The crowd is young, and the vibe is unpretentious: expect cheap drinks and loud music. Hostels here are social but can be noisy.
Across the river from the old town, Triana has a local feel. It’s known for its ceramics, flamenco peñas, and riverside bars. Nightlife here is more about wine and tapas than clubs, but places like Sala Custom bring in the electronic crowd. The walk from Casco Antiguo takes 10 minutes over the Isabel II bridge: worth it for the views and the atmosphere.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
The hostel’s rooftop bar is the place to start the night. Live flamenco kicks off around 9 pm, followed by DJ sets that blend electronic beats with traditional Spanish rhythms. The crowd is a mix of travellers and locals, and the terrace gets packed by 11 pm. Drinks are cheap: €3 for a beer, €5 for a cocktail: and the view over the cathedral is worth the climb.
This square is the heart of Seville’s nightlife. Bars spill onto the pavement, and the crowd ranges from backpackers to Spanish twenty-somethings. Start at La Terraza for sangria, then move to Antique for cheap beer and tapas. Things get lively after midnight, with street performers and pop-up DJs. Most bars stay open until 3 am.
One of the city’s biggest clubs, Fun Club plays a mix of reggaeton, EDM, and Latin hits. The main room has a massive dance floor and laser lights, while the upstairs lounge offers a break from the noise. Entry is €10-15, including a drink. Dress to impress: door staff can be selective. Expect a queue after midnight.
Housed in a former theatre, this bar has a stage for live bands and a dance floor that fills up by 1 am. The music leans toward indie and rock, with the occasional flamenco fusion night. Drinks are reasonably priced: €4 for a beer, €6 for a cocktail. The crowd is a mix of locals and travellers, and the atmosphere is more laid-back than the clubs in Alameda.
A tiny, standing-room-only bar with a cult following. The walls are covered in religious kitsch, and the drinks are strong: €5 for a gin and tonic that could double as a meal. It’s cash-only and gets rammed by 11 pm. If you can’t handle crowds, skip it, but if you want a story, this is the place.
Seville’s best spot for underground electronic music. The venue is a converted warehouse with a sound system that rattles your ribs. Entry is €8-12, depending on the night. Check their Instagram for line-ups: international DJs play here regularly. The crowd is serious about music, not poses.
A two-floor bar with a rooftop terrace overlooking Alameda de Hércules. The ground floor is all about sangria and tapas, while the roof gets rowdy with DJs after 11 pm. Happy hour runs from 8-10 pm, with two-for-one cocktails. It’s a good spot to start the night before moving on to the clubs.
