Restaurant Spolight: Barcelona Wine Bar!

barcelonaWhy We Love It: If you are looking for a restaurant with great food, an electric atmosphere, a prime happy hour, a trendy bar with an outdoor patio, and of course, great drinks, then lo and behold - Barcelona Wine Bar & Restaurant. The Logan Circle hot spot has quickly become one of the trendiest restaurants on the District. Apart from the exotic Spanish inspired tapas menu and exquisite bar, the restaurant (with one of the District's hottest patios, great for 14th Street people watching) is also one of the best restaurants to run into DC VIPs and spot celebrities. That's right. We've spotted FLOTUS herself enjoying an array of tapas in Barcelona's private dinning room, along with NBA stars such as Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls grabbing a bite while in town for a game against the Wizards. Barcelona's trendy ambiance and excellent menu makes the restaurant one of DC's must-go "seen and been seen" places, and we highly suggest being seen on Barca's patio sometime soon.
