About Bar Dos de Mayo
Bar Dos de Mayo sits at the heart of Alameda as one of Seville's most reliably crowded tapas bars—a mark of authenticity rather than flaw. The kitchen excels with seafood-forward specialities: bacalao (salt cod) appears in multiple guises—gratinéed, in tomato sauce, or as a shrimp skewer—alongside pork cheeks, iberian liver croquettes, and house-made tortilla with whiskey sauce. The wine and beer lists are notably curated, with a "very good selection" flagged across both. Service remains remarkably composed during peak hours, with staff who communicate across language barriers and pace dishes thoughtfully. The space is informal and historic, filled with locals and tourists alike, with wheelchair access throughout and high chairs available. Pricing hovers at €15–20 per person for a full tapas meal with wine or beer, making it excellent value for the portion sizes and quality. Breakfast and desserts round out the day.
What Stands Out
Authentic Andalusian seafood
Reviews consistently praise bacalao, fried fish roe, tomato cod with potatoes, and shrimp skewers as standout dishes; one reviewer noted 'Amplio repertorio de pescado y marisco' (wide range of fish and seafood).
Curated wine and beer selection
GBP highlights flag 'Muy buena selección de cervezas' and 'Muy buena selección de vinos'; reviews mention 'Cerveza fresquita, buen vino' and praise the wine pairings.
Fast, attentive service under pressure
Multiple reviews note staff remain 'very friendly' and 'fast' even during peak hours and Semana Santa chaos; one reviewer stated 'la atención de los camareros de barra excepcional, pese a la cantidad de gente' (bar staff attention exceptional despite crowds).
What Customers Say
Wer auf der Suche nach originaler, bodenständiger Andalusischer Küche ist, kommt hierher. Ein sehr aufmerksamer Service kümmert sich sofort. Sehr beliebt und daher recht voll und laut. Aber das Essen ist toll!
Siempre aciertas en este bar. Un clásico de Sevilla. Muy recomendable. Volveremos siempre que haya sitio claro.
Super accueil et les tapas sont extra avec des spécialités. Nous sommes allez deux fois durant notre séjour. Vous devez absolument y aller, à ne pas manquer
