Bar Garlochí — Restaurant in Seville

I came to Sevilla seeking all the pleasures that this place has to offer and Bar Garlochi was one of the highlights of my trip. A friend recommended this bar so went as part of a group. We had to wait 10-15 minutes before we were allowed in. Only old men were coming out of the bar so I was a little bit unsure of this place but still I waited 😁 When I walked in, I simply wasn't ready for what I was about to experience.

His son also takes good care of the customers with a lot of love. Many people have been there over the years, even international celebrities like Uma Thurman or Jude Law. Don’t forget to visit Bar Garlochi..,you will not be...

Bar Garlochí is a truly unique and surreal experience - like stepping into a scene from Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Santa Sangre. It’s theatrical, excessive, religious, baroque, and unapologetically bloody. The walls drip with Catholic iconography, saints stare at you from golden altars, and every candle seems lit with feverish devotion. It’s not just a bar - it’s a shrine, a fever dream, a hallucination in velvet and incense.

I ordered the signature cocktail: “The Blood of Christ” - and that blood was very sweet and...
