Celona Wine - Washington

I waited almost 35 minutes to get my drinks, and my food came super late... not a good experience for my first day there...

Carlos is amazing, he is THE number one. I just go to Barcelona 14th st bc of him.

Really enjoyed this place. Dined at bar; servers super friendly. A bit loud and there were multiple parties.

Have worked my way through at least half of the tapas by now— all really great!

Very very crowded and loud. Be prepared for that. Service was okay. Our wine guy was great and funny. But classic American dining style our waitress was very obvious in rushing us out, which I always find annoying. I get they want to make more money, but the user and dining experience is also essential to the success of an establishment. Alas. Food was mediocre at best, but cheap for DC. Don 't plan to eat to get full here just snacks. Wine was good enough, $10 each to split a bottle which isn 't bad for DC. Overall, the place is very packed and loud and busy, filled with early 20s people. If you are okay with that vibe as a cheap easy accessible DC spot to split a bottle I 'd say it 's worth the venture. Also you should definitely make reservations about a week out! It 's booked and busy and you 'd be foolish not to have reservations on a weekend night. I wouldn 't go out of my way to come here, and certainly wouldn 't frequent this spot but truthfully it 's not an awful place to go occasionally with some friends. I think for what it is, Barcelona is obviously very successful. Mid food, adequate wine, sufficient service, fair location, cheap prices and the sensation that you are somewhere relevant where everyone else is. Wouldn 't take anyone here over the age of 33, as they would be an ancient artifact with all the young people but for the younger crowd I 'd say it 's a decent spot.
