Barcelona Wine Bar

Where to Eat Near American University | Eater DC

"Loud, sleek, and perennially packed, Barcelona Wine Bar’s large menu of tapas makes a perfect option for a casual but chic group dinner just a mile away from campus. Don’t miss the jamón and manchego croquetas, spinach-chickpea cazuela, or the mussels." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"Whether it's brunch, happy hour, or date night, Barcelona Wine Bar’s shared-plate dining and drinking experience is a D.C. socialite staple. Mingle over pitchers of red wine sangria with a rotation of farm-to-table tapas, including a light spinach and manchego frittata with a bacon crunch at brunch and a spicy eggplant caponata with sweet pepper, basil, and parsley at dinner. People-watch from the garden patio or gather inside the rustic-chic dining room, where the Jamon Mangalica ham being hand-sliced will inspire you to order the charcuterie. After crisscrossing arms with your dining partners to share bites of elevated, familiar flavors, finish on a comfort-food high with a spoon fight over their luscious flourless (gluten-free) chocolate cake. You can do it all again at a second location on Wisconsin Avenue in Cathedral Heights."
