Polished cocktail room near the Cathedral where belle époque decor—dark wood, brass fixtures, velvet seating—sets the stage for bartenders who take their craft seriously. The menu balances classic cocktails with house creations that incorporate Spanish spirits and local ingredients, and the execution is precise without being precious. It's intimate, just enough seats to feel exclusive without feeling cramped, and the crowd skews older and better-dressed than the Alameda cocktail bars. Sevilla's cocktail scene is small, but Le XIX argues it doesn't need to be larger to be good.

A classic cocktail (Negroni, Manhattan) to test their technique, or ask what the house specialties are. The Spanish gin tonic is also well-made if you want something lighter.
Evening from 8pm onward when the atmosphere builds. Weekends get busier—arrive early or reserve.
Small space, so reservations are wise on weekends. Cocktails run €10-14. The El Arenal location near the Cathedral makes it easy to pair with dinner in the area. Dress a notch above casual.
