Bodega Spanish Tapas & Lounge

The paella with seafood was to die for 🤤, there was a delicious unusual casadilla. this place is very tasty if you want Spanish cuisine, and the place is in the most beautiful old Georgetown, we sat on the street there are people passing by but it is very colorful. food won my heart.

Love the vibe. Busy each time we have been there but we have found a spot at the bar last couple times. The tapas and paella are delicious. This time we had the seared tuna and the spinach. Wines are always good. Haven’t tried the sangria yet. Highly recommend Bodega. It a fun , cozy restaurant with great eats and drinks.

Nice tapas spot. We tried the octopus, calamari, shrimp, green beans, potatoes, chicken skewers and honey/goat cheese. The potatoes were a little spicy. All of the dishes were pretty good. The food comes out quickly. The service was friendly. The front room has a better vibe than the back.

Nice atmosphere and accessible in Georgetown. We ordered the sauteed shrimp, chicken croquettes, sauteed mushrooms, which were all just okay, but the bacon wrapped dates were absolutely delicious. I don't recommend getting the patatas bravas, they tasted like home fries with Frank's buffalo sauce on top. The red sangria was very good and reminded me of a Spanish style cold mulled wine. The servers were very nice and attentive.

A bit pricier for what I expected but food is flavorful. They have a very cute courtyard. The paella we ordered was $45, it came with a lobster. Not a big portion but if you order a few other things it can be be shared by 2 people.

For any occasion, this is fantastic restaurant that is worth checking out. Note: You must be okay sharing food family style like the most tapas restaurant.

Best Spanish food I’ve had so far in DC! Starting off with the tapas I strongly recommend the pan con tomate & jamon, patatas bravas, lamb chops, and croquetas. These were all incredibly flavorful and a must try. As for the paella I had a small issue with the chicken and chorizo as the chicken had a strong odor & taste unfortunately it didn’t taste that fresh other than that the rice and chorizo were excellent. The paella marinera is definitely better choice if your deciding between which one you want. The service was also excellent so no complaints in that department. While the bill did end up being quite pricey it’s hard to find Spanish food for much less. I definitely recommend you driving out to Georgetown to give it a try!

I visited this amazing restaurant by chance. A friend and I were looking for a place to eat after being at a rooftop for an hour waiting to try to order some food. We ended up choosing this place due to their variety of plates and flavors. We had an amazing evening. From start to finish the service was great, we asked if it was ok to order a paella, as the restaurant was about to close in 45 min, the server told us it was more than ok and glad to place the order. We noticed the restaurant carries a special from Sun-Thru 1 cheese board, 3 tapas, 1 paella and 1 dessert + 50% off wines. Food was so delicious, with every bite I was truly surprised with the exquisite taste and flavor of every plate. I highly recommend this restaurant, one of the best I have been to in Georgetown and Washington DC. Shout out to our server Melvin for giving us such a great treatment and taking care of us. Will definitely come back! Happy holidays!
