The server had no idea when I asked which options were vegan. She went into the kitchen and came back with the attached marked-up menu. Some inconsistencies on it regarding whether feta and aoli would be vegan. The potatoes without aoli were delicious, as was the coconut milk dessert.

My favorite bar in Dallas! Always a great vibe. I typically sit at the bar and Patric is the BEST! He is so attentive and the drinks are always amazing!! Definitely
One of my absolute favorite places, and one of the few good tapas places in the DFW area. The service is always fantastic and the food never fails to impress. They have a great outdoor patio that's perfect for an afternoon of drinking and eating. I'd highly recommend Barcelona.Parking: Parking can be tricky but they have a valet and you can park many places on the street for free if you're ok walking a bit.Kid-friendliness: They allow kids even though it doesn't seem like it.

Whether you're seeking a refined wine selection or a culinary adventure, Barcelona Wine Bar, coupled with Riley's exemplary service, promises an unforgettable dining experience in Dallas.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options

Great place... I'll be a regular. Great Euro/Spain wine list... Even the American list was well chosen. High quality tapas. A bit pricey I thought, but the quality and quantity delivered the value. Extensive opportunity to see how a good Tempranillo should taste... I want Texas to be good at it, but not yet... maybe C.L. Butaud.Dietary restrictions: Look at the menu before you go... Spain, not Mexico.. This is not your everyday diner. If you cannot consume adventurously or have a desire for new things, it's not for you. If you do... You will love it.Parking: It's a busy section of Henderson a half block off Central Expressway. History would tell me, go early if you have reservations... This place will boom.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid place.
Kelli and Ash made my first experience at Barcelona Wine Bar very memorable, educating me on the menu and recommending wonderful wine selections. I’ll definitely be back soon.

Went here for a date night. The atmosphere is really good, the parking isn’t great and the service was alright. The food was ok, we ordered 6 tapas and drinks. There is a lack of Spanish beer offerings and the tapas are portioned nicely, however I only really enjoyed 2 out of the 6 ordered tapas. The waitress had recommendations and the two tapas I enjoyed were from her recommendations. I wouldn’t be mad if I had to go back :)Parking: While there is free parking, it is limited. We paid the valet at the adjacent restaurant.

My partner and I came here for valentine’s dinner because we had such a magical experience at the location in denver. While the service here was great, food was just ok overall and atmosphere missed the mark. Croquetas and albondigas were great, but our bread was burnt and the paella was missing the crispy bottom that we savored at the denver spot. Felt like the paella’s cook time might have been a bit rushed, which I can understand given a busy night. Our biggest complaint, however, was the obnoxious music that completely derailed any sense of romance the otherwise nice, candlelit table would have offered. From Drake to Daft Punk, we suffered through an endless cacophony of overly loud, bassy songs that made us feel like we were at a club and not a wine bar on valentine’s evening. Completely changed the vibe and compelled us to pick up the check sooner than we might have otherwise. Despite the kind service and complimentary truffles and almonds, I don’t plan on returning to this location for a romantic night.

It's difficult to find quality cheese that melts with a certain umptiousness that this place seems to stock en masse. This trendy tapas spot has a menu full of variety for any and all kinds of tastes. The music is loud, the crowd is louder, yet with my damaged hearing it was not overbearing. Our group tasted most of the menu, and all offerings were splendid. I would caution against the bacon wrapped dates, for some reason they were absolutely awful. One of those pungent moments where the taste crawls up your sinus cavity and you can taste its deathlike decay in your nose. Quite a letdown on those, but when you order 20 other items, meh, who cares.
I had amazing time at Barcelona! I highly recommend for a ladies night ! The energy is phenomenal! One Server made my night tonight ashaughh took pictures of my family and made us feel like we were at home ! Wonderful night overall 10 out of 10
