Barcelona Wine Bar, 1700 Beacon Street

“We returned here for Mother's Day and it was a perfect choice! Lots of people and a long line waiting, but our table was ready for us, even though most of our party was a little late. Thank you for keeping our early dinner reservation! We shared many, many tapas and all were tasty - chorizo, aged Manchego, marinated olives, wagyu Cecina, zucchini plancha, roasted carrots, wagyu carpaccio, pork belly, and grilled chicken thigh. The service was timely and the food was ready in a paced rhythm that worked great for our party of 4. The atmosphere was excellent and everyone was in a great, celebratory mood! [Not many photos of the food, but this was the sunset that evening!]”

“Food was really nice, very tasty and good portions. Very nice atmosphere and the servers were friendly. My only "criticism" is of the dessert I ordered (Flan Catalán), which was tasty but had a strange taste. I don't know how this particular dessert is prepared or stored, but I noticed a distinct taste while I was eating it and when I identified it, I couldn't eat any more. The flán tasted very strongly of jamon. I looked on the menu and it didn't say whether this was intentional or not.”

“We spent Mother’s Day at Barcelona Brookline and had such a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, making it the perfect place for a family celebration. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The tapas selection was fantastic and perfect for sharing. The service truly stood out — the staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcomed throughout the evening despite how busy it was for Mother’s Day. The drinks and desserts were equally impressive and completed the experience perfectly. A great spot for family dinners, celebrations, or a nice evening out. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“My colleague and I stopped in after a long day on the road in Boston last week. We arrived a little after 5:00 p.m and we were quickly seated at a table by the window. I feel like they all cater to us immediately we were offer drinks and appetizers menus. I was given a Riesling which was fantastic, however the wine glass it came in had a small smudge on the side. We ordered the patatas bravas, which I must say was the most authentic potatoes bravas that I've tasted outside of Spain. We also ordered the meatballs. Those were fantastic!!!. The level of service was amazing and the next time I ever find myself in Boston again I will try to make it a priority to come here again. Unfortunately I forgot the manager's name but whomever you were working on Thursday April 9th at around 5:30 6:30 p.m.... The staff was fantastic!!!”

“Came here for Sunday lunch while in Boston for a family vacation - it was recommended by our hotel staff so we decided to give it a try. Street parking was relatively easy to find and we made a reservation and were seated right away. The menu is extensive and typical of Spanish tapas place. We ordered several tapas (steak with eggs, fries) and a seafood paella which took a little longer. All really good. Like the casual vibes.”
