Oh man! Where do I start, this is a place that you need to visit. We were seated very quickly on a busy Friday evening and our waiter suggested multiple options, we settled on the Gambas Al Ajillo. The shrimp were tender and prepared phenomenally. And the oil that they were prepared in made this dish one to remember. Pro tip, use the bread to dip in the shrimp oil, thank me later. While I could go on and on about the shrimp and how I wish our table orders more than 2, the star of the night was the whole roasted branzino. It met expectations, it exceeded expectations, it did not disappoint. My only regret is that we didn't order a 2nd. Skin was crisp, the meat was flavorful and cooked perfectly. This place wowed me and I can't wait to get back here.
My night with my friends did not start well. No wait staff stopped by to greet us for quite a while. If it was just me, I would have walked out because no one was paying attention to our table. We had to alert a passing waitress that nobody had stopped by. The water tasted weird like sparkling water but without the carbonation. Our waitress changed the water and it was better. Tapas came out fast. All of them are delicious and on point: eggplant caponata, mushrooms , beets, patata bravas, bouqerones, salmon, pulpo, pork belly, albondigas, brussel sprouts, calamari, chicken (we wanted lamb chops but sold out). My favorites are the eggplant, patata bravas, and the octopus. The octopus is tender served with garbanzo beans with some tasty sauce. Patata bravas has the traditional sauce that is smoky and addictive. Eggplant caponata is perfect to be enjoyed with the crusty bread. Basque cheesecake is pretty good, not too sweet. Monday is a good day to come here because you can get a bottle of wine for half of the price
Came here on a Sunday night for dinner and it was surprisingly busy despite the snow. The place is very aesthetic. Definitely gives fancy girls' night energy with candlelit tables and wine glasses everywhere. I can also see it being a great date-night spot. Service was wonderful and very attentive. They packed our leftovers in those nice oven-safe takeout containers, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't really land for me. The wine itself was great, but the dishes were hit or miss. We ordered the Brussels sprout salad and a marinated fish tapa. I expect some acidity with tapas, but this was much too sour. It was overwhelming and I couldn't finish it. The salmon, on the other hand, was very well cooked and tasted good. We also ordered a paella. The flavor was nice overall, but the pork pieces were almost entirely fat with very little actual meat, which was disappointing. The rest of the dish was solid, but between the intense acidity from the tapas and the richness of the pork fat, my stomach really did not agree with the combo. Same thing happened to my friend, even though we were both still hungry. I really wanted to like this place. Maybe we would've had a better experience ordering different dishes, but this time around we left with stomach aches instead. I wish the menu gave more indication of how acidic some of the items are, because it was very unexpected. Might try again someday, but this visit just didn't work for us.
Atmosphere: Barcelona Wine Bar is one of my favorite spots for dinner. I've been a few times, and it never disappoints. Since the weather was perfect, we sat out on the patio. If you want to catch the sunset, I recommend trying the outdoor seating. Food: We ordered a handful of tapas to share, and everything together was surprisingly filling. The Eggplant Caponata was super flavorful, the Chicken Thigh was tender and nicely seasoned, and the Shrimp was delicious. We also got a cheese board and became obsessed with one of the semi-soft cheeses. I can't recall the name of it, but I would recommend a soft cheese board. Service: The service was great! The waitress gave us good recommendations for what to order.
Our experience with Barcelona Wine Bar was incredible! First of all, shoutout Kenny for being so accommodating with our reservation. His customer service was outstanding and definitely a reason why we'd go back. We shared the red sangria to drink, and we ordered plenty of tapas for the table. Standouts for me were the patatas bravas, truffled bikini, the acorn squash, and the clams. Our booth was perfectly cozy and spacious enough for 6 people and all of our food on the table. I look forward to my next experience with this restaurant!
I came here with a group of 8 for a work dinner. We were greeted by the GM even before we stepped foot in the front door and he let us know that Mike would be our server. Mike was great. He rolled with the punches of a rowdy group and kept spirits high. The energy was good and the restaurant was on the louder side so I would say it's a lovely scene. It happened to be half priced bottles since we came on Monday and we took advantage of that deal. Our table also order a large amount of tapas that we shared. A few standouts for me: Roasted carrots: simple and delicious Pork belly: I enjoyed their preparation on this. It came with a pimento of some sort on top and different than I've had before. Meat sampler platter: the chicken thighs were charred a bit but not too much and very juicy. I really enjoyed this place and think the location is great too. There's lots of other options to swing by before or after dinner if you want a drink or to just walk around.
amazing spread of small bites. the speck with whipped sheep's cheese and truffle honey paired with the arugula salad on their bread (which is by itself standout) was so yummymmymy. the honey did overpower the cheese though. the patata bravas were gas and they gave so much. the cod and tenderloin were hella mid and our tenderloin was overcooked
We came in on a Monday for happy hour and it did not disappoint. The happy hour tapas are a great deal. They have a deal of 3 tapas for 14.50 so we got all six on the happy hour menu. We also got two different paellas to try and it fed our group of 6 great! The server was very sweet and quick to help us with our selections. We would definitely come back
Great tapas spot. Good food, drinks and service. The spot is really cute. The patio was very nice, we were seated there initially but unfortunately it started to rain. The staff was great about very quickly getting us to a table inside. Our waitress recommended us wine and we both enjoyed her recs. She also recommended the gambas al ajillo which had great flavor. We also ordered the carrot and calamari which were good, and the mussels which were phenomenal. We would have happily just ordered three servings. High recommend and will definitely be back just to get those mussels! The bread service was also great and perfect for sopping up the amazing broth.
Ended up here by accident because I was window shopping with my 3 year old and he suddenly shouted "I need to potty"...most establishments do not have restrooms available to the public so I figured our best bet was a restaurant and popped in here. The staff were immediately sympathetic, super friendly and helpful. Of course, as if I wasn't embarrassed enough, as soon as the 3 year old washed his hands, he shouted "I'm hungry" (is this sort of human I'm raising?). We were already in a restaurant so why not. Before being seated or looking at the menu, I asked for some fries to be put in and the waitress offered some chicken tenders. After finally looking over the menu, I don't think these are regular offerings so I appreciated them trying to be accommodating to a frazzled parent at dinner time. My vegan mother in law joined us and we were pleased that there were so many options for her. My absolute favourite (such that I had to order another round) was the eggplant caponata - perfectly sweet with a little bit of spice. It was so warm and comforting - exactly what I want at the end of a long cold day. My MIL's fav were the Brussels sprouts - they had a tang reminiscent of buffalo sauce and were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, textured heaven (extra bonus points for the 3 year old absolutely LOVING them - he redeemed himself). If you like hummus, try the spinach and chick pea cazuela. Squash is in season so I knew it was going to be delightful - the pomegranate was a combination that was new to me, but it didn't disappoint. We didn't try the roasted carrots (because my household is all carroted out for the moment) but someone one table over was gushing over them. As a meat eater, I have to say that the non meat tapas were standouts - I tried the empanadas, they were fine; I didn't enjoy the meatballs and I just wanted to order more of the eggplant caponata. All in all, I would definitely come back, maybe for drinks with friends or date night. The drink list looked inviting and nothing says intimacy like mood lighting and shared plates. The price (without alcohol) was very approachable - for $80 a vegan, a 3 year old and a frazzled mom left satiated.
Absolutely amazing spot that I highly recommend checking out especially if you have a group! Came here this past Friday with a group of girls and we all had a great time. Phenomenal service, great food, and fun vibes! We ordered several tapas and were not disappointed in any. However, my personal favorites were the bacon wrapped dates, croquetas and patatas bravas. The complimentary bread was also a 10/10 super soft and fluffy, paired perfectly with every tapa ordered. For a group of 4 girls, we ordered 8 tapas and 1 entree. We were stuffed! We ordered the paella salvaje and as soon as it came to the table the manager introduced himself and noticed it was the wrong one before we did. He immediately told us the paella mariscos would be on the house and he will send the correct one asap. We all agreed the salvaje was 10x better and something I'll also definitely be reordering. Great wine selection and at night they play really good throw back hits. Loud and fun environment. Looking forward to returning!
Fantastic. Barcelona Wine Bar gave us exactly what we were looking for. - Great wine. - Tasty cheeses. - Terrific small plates. (Get the chorizo and dates) - Tons of options. Honestly, what is not to love?! Moreover, we loved the atmosphere and vibe and music. I even tried to Shazam a few songs. The bread was so soft and warm. Unreal. Barcelona might be my new favorite place in South Philly, but it gets 4 stars instead of 5 because it was NOT cheap. Everything you see in the photo + the chorizo & dates + two other 3oz glasses of wine was $93. With tip, that's $113. So yes, quite expensive, but really high quality and tasty.
The wait was a bit long, but definitely worth it. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated, even with a reservation, but since we were a larger group, it's understandable. The food was incredible! We went with the tasting menu (cheese board + tapas + big plate), and my favorite tapas were the eggplant and the trout. We also loved the paella. But the real highlight? The desserts......they're on another level! We tried a few, and here's my personal ranking: Chocolate cake - Flan - Burnt cheesecake - Olive oil cake. Honestly, all of them were delicioso! And don't forget to grab a sangria while you're there. The service was attentive and friendly, and the vibe was fun and energetic.
fun spot for drinks & tapas! i don't usually like chains, but i can appreciate barcelona wine bar for its good vibes! if it was closer, i could definitely see myself here more with the girls in the summer. i came here with some friends before a noah kahan show due to its proximity to the BSL, and it was a good time! my favorite dish we had was the patatas bravas -- they were so good that i put in a second order. i can appreciate a good charcuterie board, but the other tapas we had weren't very memorable. i wanted to try the paella here, but ended up passing since our waiter told us that they take a while to prepare. in retrospect, i'm glad i didn't order the paella, the table next to us got one and it did not look very impressive. i wouldn't say the food here is particularly memorable (other than the patatas bravas lol), but i think you come for the vibes. my friend said that service is notably good as well, though it was a bit slow when we were there. we probably wouldn't have minded the slow service if we didn't have a concert to catch. overall, a solid spot! read more
There were a lot of options in this pleasant surprise of a neighborhood, but I had my sights set on Barcelona a day or two before based on the menu - it looked edgy and tapas felt like the play on a day that was going to involve a lot of eating. I came into town for a brief cameo to go to the Phillies/Mets game with my cousin chums, a game that will go down as one of the most unpleasant in-person experiences of my life, but that was to Barcelona's benefit; what the Mets lacked in competitiveness and quality starting pitching, Barcelona made up for with unique and tasty offerings. We stopped by this past Saturday afternoon around 2:30pmish. The movie marquee on the exterior is a very cool touch and definitely something you notice from a block out. It was a little chaotic when we first walked in (seemed like a birthday party or baby shower had just ended) so it took a few minutes to get someone's attention, but not a big deal. We got a chance to soak in the interior, which was pretty modern/pleasant; heavy emphasis on wood, both in terms of the tables and walls and cool, dim lighting. Given the sunny weather, we opted to sit outside and quickly requested a change to the shaded table after changing two or three skin tones in five minutes. All good. Everyone was emotionally drawn to the charcuterie (which would have been impossible to overlook anyway since it took up a significant chunk of the menu), and we went with the Aperitivo Board pretty much because one of my cousin chums has an unhealthy obsession with olives. Good overall though it didn't have the edgy variety of the top-tier boards I've had (which for my money usually include sweeter options like fruit compote and my all-time fave charcuterie accompaniment, honeycomb), but it did the job. The real highlight of the board for me and possibly everyone though was the patatas bravas, which was basically seasoned potatoes covered in garlic aioli. Delicious, even though it seemed a little naughty to have it on a charcuterie board. We also ordered two additional tapas, the albondigas and the jamon & manchego croquetas (I think), which translated roughly to meatballs and a bowl of French fries topped with an egg and some ham. In hindsight I don't know why we doubled down on the potatoes but it is what it is. The meatballs were very tender/juicy, but I don't think I sampled too much of the croquetas beyond grabbing a random French fry or two, so the combo of that dish was probably lost on me. Everything hit the spot though - no issues. I also got some chilled red wine, which I selected because red seemed like the move and it was very toasty outside. Not a particularly sophisticated thought process there, but didn't need to be. The service was fine; we weren't in a rush and basically had a leisurely pace throughout the meal that our waitress matched. It was pretty busy in our area as well, so if we were waiting a few extra minutes here or there, that made sense to me. A few of the Boomer male customers shot me passive aggressive looks at my Mets jersey, but I'm not going to blame the wine bar for some of their Cro-Magnon clientele; as long as your staff isn't making tongue-in-cheek comments about Chase Utley and Ruben Tejada, we're good. Very cool spot, and would have zero issue coming back to explore more of this lengthy menu, inside or outside. read more

I've been chasing the high that I felt when I was in Barcelona so you know I had to check this place out, and you know what? It does it justice. This place is busyyyy so I recommend reservations. The inside is dimly lit and the DJ is bumping good mix of hits. The service is friendly and quick. It's a tapas bar so sharing is the name of the game. I'd say the broccolini and pan de tomate were my fav tapas. The patatas bravas could use some more cheese. The star of the show PAELLA DE VERDURAS. SCRUMPTIOUS. Already planning on coming back. Oh and the sangria was disappointing tasted like cough medicine :/ read more

Hi Alexa!! So happy you enjoyed our vibes! Can't wait to have you…
i absolutely love this place for group dinner, dates, lunch, or even small intimate events (weddings). My first time coming here was for a small wedding reception and I fell in love with their white sangria. I'm not much of a wine lover but I would drink the sangria out of the pitcher if I could. I love their tapas and it's definitely a family style restaurant (which I love!). I recommended ordering a few tapas to share especially the squid, potatoes, and rice balls. I ordered chicken for the board and it was soooo moist! The steak was redone to perfect our liking and this was probably the top service I've ever received in Philly. read more

Hey Ryen! So when's the next visit? Let me know -…
I had the MOST delightful first time at Barcelona Wine Bar. Snagged a reservation for the patio on a lovely spring night - the vibes are awesome. Our server was so sweet and marked up a menu for me and my friend who is gluten free. We could not even pick a drink because they all sounded so good but we landed on red sangria which did not disappoint - probably we should have got the pitcher. We ordered the manchego cheese, brussel sprouts, olives, salmon, and potatoes. It was the best little tapas feast I could ever imagine. I also got the bread bucket for me, which was heavenly. A visiting manager from another location was also taking care of us and keeping us very entertained throughout the night. Overall it was wonderful and I can't wait to go back! read more
This was my first dining experience at Barcelona Wine bar! I arrived with my husband and daughter first before the rest of the party arrived. The staff was very nice and let us sit down early. They brought over a high chair and some coloring pages/crayon for my daughter. The rest of our party arrived and we started ordering an assortment of tapas, a seafood paella and a meat board. The FOOD! Absolutely amazing and fresh. The best of the best: The spicy beef empanada! Great flavor from the beef with flakiness of the empanada so delicious, The octopus was tender and juicy, the seafood paella was the absolute star of the show and the meat board we had was spot on (seasoned well!). The restaurant was also very beautiful inside and the vines were just immaculate. We loved our group dinner and can't wait to come back again :) read more

Hi Jill, thanks so much for the kind review! Let us know next time…
Soleil was absolutely fantastic. I wanted an item that is not available because it's seasonal. Since I am plant based (occasional seafood) I ordered the grilled asparagus and grilled spring onion which was good. Oh, if you want Paella order upon arrival. Have patience and be prepared to be wowed. I have had the seafood Paella and ordered the Vegetable Paella this time. I then ordered the House Marinated Olives; Spinach & Chickpea Cazuela. I like Kalamata Olives, but THESE OLIVES ARE DELICIOUS. I actually want olives with the pits now. My white sangria was so refreshing. I ordered a shot of the rum that's in the sangria on the side. I met wonderful dogs and little ones sitting outside. Such a lovely atmosphere with diverse friendly customers. Zola looked out as well. Always a great experience. read more

We went here for a quick appetizer and drinks before going out! Nice spot on the patio. We had the cheese tray and it was amazing so cool to try cheese we never tried before. The service was great and the waiter was very friendly! Definitely would go back to try other food! read more

We had a 6pm reservation and were seated promptly. That was a great way to start the experience because that's what a "meal" is like at this restaurant, an experience. Every one of the tapas were delicious. The meatballs, the mussels, the bacon wrapped dates, the steak pailllard, etc.... Don't skip the spinach and chickpea cazuela! Its delicious The restaurant was a little loud but as we all said at dinner, this place is a vibe. The staff was attentive and the food came out in waves. Which was perfect. I had a delicious red sangria that had just the right amount of elderflower. This place is great! Go there! read more

I don't even know where to begin with this place. I've had this spot on my list for a while now. It kept getting recommended to me, and I'm so happy I pulled the trigger to come here for date night. The service here is right on. I made a reservation, and I got seated immediately after checking in with the hostess. The waiters/waitresses are kind, attentive, and accommodating. Our waiter helped us decide on some menu items, and he didn't steer us wrong at all, lol. All of his recommendations slapped. Speaking of which, the food was PHENOMINAL. We ordered 4 tapas (small plates) and 1 large plate. We got the paella mariscos, steak paillard, chicken thigh, patatas bravas, and grilled asparagus. ALL OF IT WAS BUSSIN!! My advice is if you're going to order a large dish? Do it early cause they take 30 mins to come out. The small dishes (tapas) come out really quickly. All in all, the bill came out to about $120 with tip, and I can't wait to come back :) Come check it out! read more
First time in and it was a great experience! They have a dedicated fryer for celiac which is always highly appreciated! Our server (Christina, I believe) was kind and did a good job of taking care of our table. all the food was very tasty and flavorful, I especially loved the mushrooms! the sheep's cheese complimented the watermelon, mint and honey quite well and it was a great little hot day snack. cute place and they have indoor and outdoor seating area which are both cute. the bathrooms were clean as well. Overall great experience and I will definitely be going back for more mushrooms! read more

You tried the watermelon salad before I did! Glad you liked it.…
Barcelona Wine Bar is the perfect date night spot with authentic tapas. While it was still decently warm out, I enjoyed their peaceful patio space and friendly staff. My friend and I only got drinks and the patatas, but they were so amazing. Each of their cocktails are specially crafted and the waiter seemed extremely informed on each of the drinks. I will definitely be coming back to try more food. read more

Where is parking?
Lots of street parking - may well have to walk a few blocks, but well worth it!
What happy hour/ daily drink specials do they offer? I believe one night is half off bottles, but I can't remember which night. Thanks in advance!
Sunday’s are 1/2 price bottles of wine at least at the one in Fairfield, Ct.
Do you provide a happy hour menu?
Monday is half price bottles on select wines (a large variety)!
