El Rinconcillo

About

El Rinconcil is Sevilla’s oldest bar, a living testament to Sevillian hospitality that dates back to 1670. Nestled in the historic heart of the city at No. 40 Calle Gerona, the venue preserves the original stonework and wooden ceilings of the 17th‑century tavern, while offering a warm, authentic atmosphere that has attracted generations of locals and tourists alike. Visitors can indulge in classic Andalusian tapas such as Iberian ham carpaccio, fried eels, and octopus, alongside a selection of local wines served from the bar’s mahogany shelves. The bar’s alloy of tradition and charm is further highlighted by its preserved chalk‑written chalkboard order system, a quirky nod to century‑old customs. A cozy dining room, complete with bar cabinets and marble tables, invites guests to experience the true flavor of Seville in a setting that has survived four centuries of change. In addition to its historic ambiance, El Rinconcil offers seasonal tasting menus, including group menus that allow diners to sample a range of Iberian specialties. With an open‑house policy Monday through Sunday from 1 p.m. (13:00) until midnight, guests can enjoy a relaxed evening over traditional dishes. The venue’s 350th anniversary is celebrated with grand décor, and the bar’s picturesque patio and unique arabic‑brick walls are sights not to be missed.
