This venue is a big, open space - only for serious dancers as there are no cosy alcoves for chatting.
Small but lively gay bar, with friendly atmosphere and bijou dance floor. ALAMEDAĬavernous, sparsely furnished disco for the alternative crowd, which has local and regional rock, drum 'n' bass and metal bands. Well located right next to Plaza de Alfalfa, this is probably the best centre of town venue. Some places will charge when they have live music or name DJs. For gay and lesbian night life, the Alameda's the place to go. Don't bother turning up till after 01.00. The bigger clubs only open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Red wine ( tinto) is reliable, often Rioja, and white (blanco), such as Rueda, costs about 2 to 3 euros a glass. A cubano (double measure of spirit with mixer) will normally set you back 4-6 euros, while a small glass of beer (cana) is about 1 euro. Clubbers head to the Isla de la Cartuja, where young people throng the many seasonal outdoor venues. In the summer, when the temperature is still in the 30Cs at night, there's a major bar scene along the river: on Calle Betis in Triana, and Arjona and Torneo on the other side, as well as outdoor bars in some of the parks. The main areas are: Alfalfa, where calle Pérez Galdós gets so packed with people on Friday and Saturday nights that cars can't drive down it Alameda, which has a more alternative scene, with lots of gay bars and clubs and calle Betis by the river in Triana, which is wall-to-wall with venues, from quiet bars to all-night clubs. You can easily visit four or five completely different bars without walking more than ten minutes between any of them. Seville is a great city for going out at night, due to the huge variety of venues in a relatively small area.
