Famous for its decor, lots of fruits and flowers indoors, nice courtyard with fountain and piped operas. There don't serve meals, except about half dozen desserts on the menu. Pricey cocktails (16 euros each) that's not exceptional, but what you're paying for is being there for the experience. The waiters are a bit up their own - perhaps that's part... More

Not sure I can add anything not already said. It's a bizarre place hidden behind a plain wooden door. We peeked in just after it opened and it was pretty much deserted so we decided to come back later - which is what we did. It's so over the top and unexpected - you really should go and have a...

This is somewhere to go to just have 1 drink and enjoy the surroundings. Its been done beautifully but they charge a hefty amount for the drinks. Still worth it though.

I visited Abaco after reading about it in a travel book. Didn't know they only served alcohol, but when we walked in the door and were seated and looked at the outrageously priced drink menu, we felt obliged to stay! Waiters didn't smile at all, and seemed to mumble comments as they walked by - they looked like they were... More

If you're in Palma for the holidays, for business with your partner, etc go to Abaco! It's great for couples, family, business meetings, etc. Abaco is this hidden gem of Palma; a reconditioned old Spanish mansion, with an amazing interior, decorated with beautiful fresh flowers, old ceramics and paintings. It's a piece of history! There is something about the atmosphere... More

Went here upon a recommendation from a colleague and was not expecting this fantastic bar. Standing outside, you are not sure what to expect! A giant double wooden door like a castle, yet a modern look on the outside. Inside you are greeted to Classical music, intriguing old-fashioned deco and a menu of expensive cocktails. The cocktails are €16 each,... More

Have been here a few times. The cocktails are good, but very pricey. The courtyard is a nice place to sit and enjoy your drink. First time visitors must take a wander round the building.

It is like walking back in time going here. Cocktails only - all at 16 euros Waiters have taken intense training on surliness Strange atmosphere of antique furniture, roaring fire, loads of flowers and weird non smiling waiters What might call "an experience" Cocktail was good though
