I went here with a group of friends for dinner. It is difficult to get a table walk in unless you reserve it. Because they are popular, they call and confirm your reservation sometimes. We were seated probably 5-10 min after our reserved time. The place is large but they cramped the tables so close. The atmosphere is modern but very loud. The food (dinner menu) is definitely overpriced. They have vegetables like roasted carrots and mushrooms as well as meat dishes. The roasted carrots were priced around $7 and a very thinly sliced steak was $16. At least 1/3 of the menu was spicy and the food is on the greasier side. The cheese and charcuterie board was nice. We got a goat cheese platter and the cheese quality was very good. The drinks here are mediocre for the price point. Overall, it is a hip place but overpriced for sure.

It's a very popular place and it is literally packed almost every night. But the food is awesome! Every small plate here is a work of culinary art.

Been here a few times, every time gets better!!!! Great food, great wine/spirit choices, all lovely!
excellent time at barcelona wine bar! loved the tapas and the cocktails. the environment was also so much fun and definitely is a good spot to go to before a night out- the bar area gets a little crazy after 9 pm!

They were packed and underatandably there was a mix up and one of our dishes didn't make it to us at first. All we needed to do was me tion and it and the delightful waitstaff went and made sure we would get our order, but they also kindly and unnecessarily gave us a free plate of scallops as means of apology.And let me tell you when we go back we will be ordering those scallops they were melt in your mouth good. A must stop with a kind staff and great platesWheelchair accessibility: Street parking in Brookline is very accommodating to handicap parking and the restaurant itself has a ramp as the entry hall that anybody could get a wheelchair or walker up.

Great ambience, great variety of food. We went on a late Tuesday night. I would definitely recommend getting the Sangria Pitcher (we tried the Red Sangria and it was really good). The Tapas menu has a variety of reasonable options to try from.

Have been to Barcelona countless times and the food has always been amazing. Love the ambiance and of course, the amazing wine list. I wanted to give a special shoutout to hostess Becca who was able to accomodate a change to a large party reservation last minute — she instantly made my day and was so kind in the process. So excited for my upcoming dinner here and thankful it will involve such a kind and understanding staff!
Visited for lunch on a Saturday, we were seated 25minutes after reservation time on a table with continuous flow of people next to it, the maitre d could do a better job at welcoming people and communicating the wait of 25minutes after reservation time. Our waiter was excellent(5/5) even with a packed restaurant. Drink was a 3/5, we had the guns and roses sangria. The tapas were a hit and miss based on the dish, not the best paptas bravas I've had. I'll give food a 4/5 as the eggplant and dessert were good.

Food and service were great, but it was too loud to hear the person next to you. Not a great choice for actual conversation.

Absolutely loved this place! It's way more exciting than your usual dinner spot. Ideal for groups of four or more to indulge in a variety of tapas. My friends and I had a blast, ordering multiple rounds of tapas as they come out relatively fast. The atmosphere was perfect for conversation and sharing. Every dish we tried was incredibly delicious, leaving us with nothing but empty plates. Can't wait to return for another memorable experience!
I like the veggie dishes but some of the food especially the meat dishes can be bland. Overall high quality and nice ambiance. Great service as well. Would recommend the spinach

Get reservations if you can, this place is always packed!Food is absolutely delicious and I love the large tapas menu. You get to try so many dishes and they are all amazing!Most people I think drink wine here but their cocktails are amazing and we always get their cocktails. Dos Peninsulas is my personal favorite.Vegetarian options: Eggplant, mushrooms, brussel sprouts, spinach and chickpea, potatoes, and more
