Vibrant Spanish tapas bar with low-proof cocktails & sidewalk seating
"Sitting in Red Window’s bright, colorful parklet and sipping on low-proof cocktails is perfect for group dinners or birthdays—it just feels like a party. Some drinks are mixed for you via a traveling bar cart, and you’ll want at least two orders of the crispy patatas bravas on the table. Throw in some golden-brown croquetas and top-tier jamón at this Spanish spot and you have yourself a night." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"Red Window offers a tapas experience that’s decidedly centered on sharing and having fun while eating. Items like pavé-style patatas bravas cubes, crispy paella balls, and an arugula salad wrapped in smoked salmon are delightfully non-traditional. Meanwhile, inventive, big-sipping, low-ABV cocktails reign supreme here, like a smoky Old Fashioned and a chocolatey Black Manhattan made with low-proof whiskey. There’s as much seating on the expansive sidewalk patio outdoors as there is in the colorful dining room, and it makes for a great time on weekends with a lively band posted outside on the North Beach street corner." - Adrian Spinelli
"Red Window is a Spanish restaurant in North Beach with excellent tapas and low-proof cocktails. But we also love it because coming here is like sitting inside a kaleidoscope—their windows are adorned with multicolored floral designs, and even their parklets are painted bright orange and teal. Order as many tapas as will fit on your table, like the crispy patatas bravas, mushroom skewers, gambas, and jamón Ibérico, and wash it all down with a glass or two of sangria." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"The Spanish tapas bar at the busy corner of Columbus and Stockton is one of the newest spots to hit the North Beach restaurant scene, and we’re glad it did. For starters, sitting on one of their massive parklets while sipping on glasses of sangria and refreshing low-proof cocktails will make you feel like you’re dining in some Barcelona plaza. You also can’t beat the Transamerica Pyramid views. Red Window is the perfect spot for catch ups with friends (remember those?) over plates of patatas bravas, croquetas, crostinis, and bocadillos." - lani conway
"Red Window is a new Spanish restaurant in North Beach that recently made it onto our Hit List thanks to fantastic tapas and low-proof cocktails like spritzes and sangrias. It’s also the perfect spot to “catch up” with someone you haven’t seen in, um, 14 months. Grab a seat on their expansive outdoor parklet, and discuss the dogs they recently fostered over crispy patatas bravas, mushroom skewers, and three-year-aged jamón Ibérico. The food comes out fast, so you can quickly eat, drink, and chat before making some excuse to go home, like having to FaceTime your grandma’s dog." - julia chen 1
