Ok I am tardy to the party.  I visited Barcelona Wine Bar WEEKS ago and forgot to tell you all about it.

Inhabiting the space where Zaya used to be in Inman Park, it’s (you guessed it) a Spanish tapas joint and it is AMAZING.    The space is absolutely gorgeous, all wood-plank walls, warm and cozy and outrageously lively and fun.

It was PACKED the night my girl Brooke and our G’s (George + Greg.  Duh.) went – which was a Wednesday if memory serves.  Word on the street is that it stays pretty busy…

I’ll be completely honest, I don’t remember exactly what I ate.  The menu is a huge list of tapas and we tried a TON.

Luckily I snapped some pix:

Roasted chickpea puree with house made pita chips

Ham and cheese croquetas

Albondigas. (meatballs, and sorry for the gross picture. They were delicious, actually.)

Empenadas!

I suggest bringing a fun couple. B+G will do nicely...

Love my Brooke!

Everything was delicious and I can’t wait to go back again!   Apparently, it’s part of a chain up in New England, but I didn’t feel like I was in a chain restaurant at all.

It’s perfect for just about every kind of dining experience: girls’ night, date night, etc. – but I think it would be a perfect first date spot.  It’s got that perfect blend of low key and fun!

Anyway – go, enjoy.  But make a rezzie.  That place is CROWDED.
