Trinity Irish Pub

Description:

• Seville has several highly visible Irish pubs, but this one is the classiest, most elegant, and in some ways, most evocative of good times and the literary wealth of Ireland. Don't come looking for spilled beer and sawdust on the floor: Replicating a decor that evokes James Joyce's favorite hangout in Dublin (ca. 1900) cost many thousands of euros. Most of the artwork and antiques, including the dartboards and their decorative boxes, derive from Celtic Ireland. Thanks to a pair of champion bartenders, it has produced more original cocktails than any other bar in Seville. If you're tired of Bushmill's and Guinness, ask for such original Trinity Bar prizewinners as a Trinity 2002 (dry vermouth, sweet vermouth, and gin) or a Manilva (a playful rum-based drink that tastes like tropical fruit punch). Open daily from 10:30am to 1:30am.
