Affordable wine selection with tasty tapas and happy hour






















"Barcelona is the least intimidating wine bar in Miami to meet a date. It’s easy to grab a table since it’s not Magie or Lagniappe. They also serve $7 mini martinis during happy hour from 4pm to 6pm. You can drink those pretty fast if things with Corey (who answered his Hinge prompts in Klingon) go downhill. The date can be the length of a Pixar short, but if you're actually charmed by his impassioned soliloquy on Captain Kirk, you can order some tapas too." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"Barcelona Wine Bar is the Vicks VapoRub of restaurants. The Wynwood tapas bar is a reliable Lagniappe dupe, a great place to meet for a first date, and the solution to just about any dining dilemma within a five-mile radius of the Wynwood Walls. They have a long and suspiciously affordable wine selection with bottle options under $40, and reasonably priced tapas. It’s a lovely spot that’ll impress your date without making either of you anxious about the bill." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"When: 4-6pm, Monday-Thursday and 2-6pm, Fridays The Deal: Half-off all bottles of sparkling wine, $7 cocktails Barcelona Wine Bar is a reliable Lagniappe dupe, a great place to meet for a first date, and the solution to just about any dining dilemma within a five-mile radius of the Wynwood Walls. The tapas, like the mussels with sofrito and the pressed artichoke on olive tapenade, are really tasty and best paired with their dimple-less focaccia. And the already cheap wine selection gets even cheaper during Happy Hour (mini martinis are also on the menu). This is where you should spend the last hour of your work day with a $7 espresso martini to go with those damn spreadsheets." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"It wouldn’t be incorrect to categorize Barcelona Bar’s mini dirty martini as more of a medium dirty martini. But we’re not complaining, especially because it costs just $7. They’re only available during this Wynood Spanish restaurant’s Happy Hour from 4pm to 6pm Monday through Thursday and 2pm to 6pm on Fridays. So it’s a good place to start a mini martini crawl, since it’s just a block away from Pastis. And if you’re bringing along someone who thinks martinis taste like gasoline, they also have mini gimlets on the Happy Hour menu." - ryan pfeffer
