Casa Morales, Restaurant and bar in Casco Antiguo, Sevilla, Spain
Casa Morales is a restaurant and bar in the Casco Antiguo neighborhood of Sevilla, just steps from the cathedral. Inside, dark wood, high ceilings with old fans, hanging hams, and rows of wine bottles on shelves define the look of the space.
The bar was opened in 1850 by Leocedio Morales Prieto, making it the oldest family-run bar in Sevilla still operated by the founding family. Today, Reyes Morales, a fourth-generation member of the family, runs the place.
Casa Morales is known for its vermouth on tap, a drink that regulars have been ordering here for generations. The large clay jars called tinajas, which once stored house wine, are still visible along the walls and give the place its most recognizable look.
The bar is easy to find right next to the cathedral, making it a natural stop during a walk through the old town. It works well for a quick tapa or a longer sit-down meal, from midday into the evening.
The bar has two entrances on two different streets, but the rooms behind them only connect through the inside of the bar itself. This unusual layout means each section feels like its own small corner, even though they all belong to the same place.
