Updated May 2025<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Say hello to my local. This little place is about five minutes away from where I live, and it’s fabulous. I have to thank Jaime from Bodegas Faustino Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a> in Jerez for this “discovery” several years ago, after he told me where I could find his spectacular wines (all en rama) in Sevilla. Turns out I can actually find over 200 (!!!) different sherries here, all available by the glass at very reasonable prices. A veritable sherry temple.<\/p>\n

The bar began life back in 1920 as a small wine “despacho” and became Taberna La Goleta in 1952. The current owner, Manuel Rodr\u00edguez Navarro (nickname: Cateca) took over the space in 2013, maintaining the original features as well as recovering a beautiful beamed ceiling that was hidden behind plaster, though he did modernise the “Urinario” by replacing the saloon-style doors with a solid wooden one. It’s quite small inside, not much more than a \u201chole-in-the-wall\u201d, but the space is well-used and the preserved Triana tiles are stunning. Outside there are a few tall tables in the pedestrian street.<\/p>\n

The speciality, and my main reason for going there, is the huge range of sherries of every type. I feel like a kid let loose in a candy store in here but usually I leave it up to Manolo to decide for me.\u00a0 They also offer a good variety of charcuterie, cheeses, mojama and other preserved fish, montaditos and a small selection of traditional tapas. Some with a twist, like the tortilla with hierbabuena and the housemade “chicharrones especiales”, similar to those from C\u00e1diz, but with a “toque Sevillano” and made exclusively for the bar by Carnicer\u00eda Roiz. There are also a few daily specials. The staff are super friendly, helpful (they know their sherry) and keen to talk about the bar, or really just about anything. Love this place. A lot.<\/p>\n
