It's disappointing that there is no Sangria on Happy Hour!

We can't say enough how much we enjoyed our visit to Barcelona in Denver. Everything was a smashing success. Let's start with the service...we were so well cared for by the two bartenders, Connor and Tom. They were warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, professional and made us feel truly at home.... and things only got better from there.

The food was top notch tapas. Try the Boquerones if you
actually like real Spanish tapas and Barcelona's take on Patatas Bravas would have been right at home in the city of Barcelona.

And we can't rave about the energy in that restaurant. The crowd was eclectic, joyous and really fun. Overall this joint deserves 6 stars, woe is us that we can only award five.

I have been to this place several times and despite there always being an issue with the reservation time and the time I actually got seated, I decided to come back, because their food is excellent. Yet, last night my son and I had the same problem again. When we arrived, the host told us it would be 10-15 minutes until we would be seated (we arrived t the minute at the reserved time). She said she would text me when the table was ready. So we went for a stroll around the block and no text ever came. We returned inside after 15 minutes and we were told they had several tables still ahead of us! The hostess was not very friendly and welcoming and seemed to just want to brush us off. We were finally seated after nearly slither half hour wait - so total of about 40 minutes. While my family used to own a restaurant and I fully understand the challenges with reservations, this is unacceptable. Reading other reviews, other people share the very same concern. I am not sure what makes this establishment think they can get away with this in the long run, because people are not willing to put up with this despite the food being good. The service was mediocre at best also last night. I asked for a second glass of wine and after not getting it 15 minutes later, I asked the second server again. She said she’d have it right over - it never came. I had to remind the regular server again and it was almost at the end of our dinner. When the check came, they charged me for 3 instead of 2 glasses. A person who said she was the manager ended up taking it off and comped 1 desert for the wait and the overcharge. I really do t know if I will give this place another chance! I come to Denver several times a year and so far have gone every time, but I do t know I will again. The seemingly somewhat arrogant behavior because they are always packed is off putting and it is a matter of time until people will get fed up with it enough to not go there anymore.

Good place to chill and experience amazing tapas. I’ve been here twice and food never disappoints. Tried some tapas n cheese boards. I loved the flan here, very creamy n good! Wines are the best. Little on the expensive end but worth it.

I've been enjoying Barcelona in Denver for years, and it remains one of the most consistently excellent dining experiences in the city. One of the things I appreciate most is how the chef keeps the menu fresh and exciting with thoughtful seasonal updates. On my most recent visit, I was especially impressed with two new additions: the bibb salad and the watermelon, harissa, and feta salad. Both were beautifully composed and dressed with succulent, flavorful vinaigrettes that elevated each bite.

As always, the lamb and shrimp tapas were outstanding—each preparation offering a slightly different take, but every version delicious and well-executed. It’s rare to find a place where even repeat dishes continue to surprise and satisfy.

We began our meal with a chilled glass of the Vin Gris of Pinot Noir by Robert Sinskey, which was crisp, refreshing, and absolutely perfect for a warm summer afternoon.

The atmosphere at Barcelona is just as memorable as the food. The indoor space buzzes with energy, while the patio offers a more relaxed vibe surrounded by lush flower plantings and ambient lighting—ideal for a leisurely dinner or a lively night out with friends.

If you're looking for a spot that combines creative, seasonal cuisine with an inviting, vibrant setting, Barcelona never disappoints.

Had a great time dining here! The atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy — definitely a lively spot, perfect for a fun evening out. The menu offered a wide variety of flavors, and everything came out fresh and well-prepared. The seafood in particular stood out, and the salads and cheeses made for a great balance of lighter options. Service was warm and attentive, and the team made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. It’s clear a lot of thought goes into both the food and the overall guest experience. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

WOAH. I am blown away. I visited Denver from SLC this weekend and was recommended to go to Barcelona. I had one of the most incredible dining and hospitality experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was INCREDIBLE. Every. Single. Person. All of them were willing to help answer questions or get you whatever you need. There was no “oh let me get your server”. Our server JJ asked what dietary restrictions we had and I said gluten. He bent down with me and crossed off every item I couldn’t eat and made the choices super easy. JJ, Hemmy, and Matt were absolutely spectacular and I would eat anywhere they were serving me. The FOOD. I didn’t eat a single thing that wasn’t incredibly flavorful and delicious. We tried half of the menu. The wine was super reasonably priced and they had a great range. Honestly, 11/10 experience. Please add this to your list!

Barcelona was the perfect place to celebrate our friends birthday. Meadow and Carlos were our servers, and they completely made the experience incredible from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone needing a place to feel celebrated or just a casual night out. Thank you, Meadow for incredible service!
