Barcelona Wine Bar

The atmosphere and service were good. However, the tables are very close to each other, so it’s easy to overhear everything around you, which can make conversations a bit uncomfortable. The food was edible but didn't really stand out.

As always, top notch. The potato tortilla has become superb. A small service issue was dealt with immediately and satisfactorily, with a grace not always seen elsewhere.

Juan was the epitome of outstanding customer service and great vibes. Not only did he seem like he was truly listening to us, he made us feel like we were his only table the whole night. Juan’s ability to connect with each person that he encounters is truly commendable. In all my years as a food critic I have never met someone with such enthusiasm and talent for serving. Wonderful job, Juan! Keep up the good work and great things will come your way.

Fav restaurant in DC and Jose is always such a great server to have! If you’re there, you must have the croquetas 🩵 I do wish they would bring back the old school Mixta with the tomatoes, but everything there is fabulous, per usual!

Barcelona Wine Bar hits all the right notes. It's got a laid-back, grown-up vibe with just enough edge to keep things interesting. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over good food and wine, this place delivers.

The tapas are legit. The rotating specials keep the menu fresh, and the charcuterie boards are well thought out — not just filler.

The wine list is deep, especially if you're into Spanish reds or want to try something off the beaten path. The bartenders know their stuff and won’t oversell you — just honest, solid recommendations.

Service is sharp and unfussy. Even when it’s packed, things run smoothly, and the staff stays cool under pressure.

Bottom line: Barcelona in Cathedral Heights is a place you’ll want to come back to. It’s got great food, a strong wine list, and an atmosphere that feels like a step above without being pretentious. A dependable, go-to spot that gets it right.

visited this establishment yesterday around 4 or 5 PM and chose to sit at the bar. Unfortunately, the bartender was not very attentive—I waited about 15 minutes before having to flag her down just to request a menu. I also asked for the complimentary bread with olive oil, and once my food arrived, she never checked in to see if I needed anything else. While I do like this location overall, the bartender could benefit from some additional customer service training.Despite to poor service the food is always consistent.

It was good experience, not so special. Food was good, not excellent, location is accessible. What was really great is the happy hour menu, it was a great deal for our group to share.
