Barcelona Wine Bar, 508 Washington Avenue North

“The dishes were absolutely incredible each one full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the menu, and everything we tried exceeded expectations. I also want to give a shoutout to Manager Venus, who truly made the experience unforgettable. He goes above and beyond in a way that feels genuine and rare. His attention to detail and the way he takes care of both guests and his team makes him stand out in the best way. The service, ambiance, and overall experience were exceptional. I will definitely be coming back!”

“This was our first time at Barcelona. We loved it. The vide, the food were very good. The service was normal, I would not say it was outstanding, its was good, not excellent. Regardless, we enjoyed a variety of options for food and wine. We will definately be back. Definately make reservations, we came at 5 pm for before the theater dinner and it filled up fast.”

“Great ambience for a Birthday party!! The music was perfect and our server definitely sealed the deal with this enthusiasm. Great variety of flavors with food. I loved the prawns and empanada!!!”

“A really fun spot with great food and great service. Although it can get busy on Fri and Sat nights, we've always received excellent service here. Delicious cocktails, tapas and vibes. My favorites are the chicken thigh, focaccia bread, hanger steak and olive oil cake. Soooo good!!”

“I love Barcelona, including the one back home in Texas, and this location is beautiful with great food and atmosphere. However, my experience at the bar was disappointing. My waiter, Chris, brought me the check halfway through my meal, which felt rushed and inappropriate—I was still planning to order dessert. Notably, myself and another guest, the only two Black women at the bar, were the ones he attempted to check out early, which didn’t sit right. Later, after ordering an espresso, he offered sugar but never returned—leaving my drink cold while he clocked out. It was frustrating, especially since I wanted to tip the other server but was told tips are shared. I spoke with the manager, Whitney, who apologized and agreed the service was unacceptable. Overall, the restaurant is great, but this experience took away from it. I’d consider coming back, but people like Chris need to be thrown out with the trash. 🚮 (not pictured my second order of empanadas and my espresso).”
