Boqueria Dupont

"Impress during your next dinner party after taking this $65 cocktail-making class where everyone learns how to make two of the restaurant’s seasonal beverages. Of course, tapas will be on hand for snacking in between sipping." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"Both of Boqueria’s locations offer happy hour from 3-6 p.m. weekdays and 4-6 p.m. weekdays with lots of deals, ranging from $2 pan con tomate and $6 croquetas to $6-9 wines, beers, sangrias, and martinis. There’s even an “Octo Shot” deal with six shots (“even an octopus needs two legs to stand on”) with free patatas bravas." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick

"Sitting at the bar at Boqueria feels somewhat like a busy counter or bar experience in Seville or Madrid. Off in the corner is a leg of Jamón ibérico, and it’s one of the few places where to find Kas soda (a Spanish favorite). For a fun all-you-can-eat experience, visit the restaurant for brunch on Saturday or Sunday, when the menu becomes bottomless." - Missy Frederick, Tim Ebner

"The first location of this New York outpost in D.C., Boqueria is a favorite for tapas, daily happy hour, and sangria. Its corner location also means loads of natural light." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff

"This Spanish spot in Dupont Circle has a huge patio and interior that will definitely work for your last-minute group dinner. There’s even a little alcove (complete with a curtain) off the main dining room that will give your group a little extra privacy. Don’t be deterred by the steep brick staircase out front. There’s an elevator that makes the inside more accessible. Grab all the tapas, including the infamous patatas bravas, which are some of the best in the city, and don’t leave without trying the churros.   " - omnia saed
