Patio San Eloy — Restaurant in Seville

Last Tuesday August 16th I went to this bar with my brother. Worst service I have seen in a while. While my brother went to the restroom I ordered two beers. The waiter told me I needed to pay for the drinks right away. I explained to this waiter I was waiting for my brother to come back from the restroom so we could order food together. The waiter again told me in a very stern manner I needed to pay for the drinks right away. When my brother came back to the bar, we tried to get the waiters' attention to order some food.

After 10 more minutes another waiter came to us and asked us what we wanted. At that point we were tired of waiting and being ignored so rudely at which point we drank our beers and left.

Yes, we might be tourist and Americans but that’s not how you treat paying “guests” especially when you refused to put us together...

It was Sunday, so many of our favorite tapas places in Sevilla are closed. We walked to our favorite tapas bar, but even before it had opened, there was a long queue of patrons outside waiting for it to open. So then we started looking for an alternative tapas bar and were so, so lucky to find San Eloy. It was packed with patrons but it has many standing and sitting options, including the unique tiled tiered seating at the back of the main floor as well as a second floor with tables. We stood at the bar so we could interact with the servers behind the bar (there were nine!) and thoroughly enjoyed numerous tapas and glasses of vino tinto. Highly recommended for a high energy tapas bar with many delicious options, friendly frenetic servers, and...
