Living Bar

About this place Living Bar

Living Bar is a gay-friendly venue in the Alameda de Hércules area — part of the cluster of bars, cafés, and social spaces that have made the Alameda and its surrounding streets the preferred evening ground of Seville's gay community and broader alternative social scene. The bar operates in the relaxed, mixed-crowd character that the Alameda encourages: openly gay-welcoming without the hard-coded gay identity of a bar like Itaca, which makes it useful for mixed groups, for visitors who want to experience the Alameda scene rather than a specifically gay bar scene, and for those who prefer an atmosphere where the sexual orientation of the clientele is less the point than the quality of the evening. Seville's gay scene is small enough that the distinction between specifically gay bars and gay-friendly bars is less sharp than in larger cities; Living Bar occupies the permeable middle ground of that distinction comfortably.
