Bodega Spanish Tapas & Lounge

Bodega is one of my favorite Spanish restaurants in DC to be honest I think it’s better than Barcelona wine bar. Their sangria is the best they make it in house. I love the Spanish top of style because you can share with your friends and loved ones. I’ve been here for a work events with friends and my significant other. Definitely a hidden gem in DC. You will not regret.

My boyfriend & I ate here for dinner a few weeks ago. Booked reservations the same day. The interior is romantic & cozy. Great for date night. Servers are quick to bring out your food. The menu is varied & portions were generous. I like the tapas idea because of the variety of dishes one gets to try. We ordered paella, grilled octopus, lentil soup, sangria, and a few smaller vegetable dishes. I was so full be the end of our meal, and we still had enough food takeaway.

100% recommend! I live in Florida, but i have gone back a second time just to visit this place again! I love REAL Spanish tapas and this is about as close as it gets outside Spain. The almonds...- my favorite! Gambas al ajillo, patatas bravas, quesos !!!, lamb chops etc. I forgot a bag at the restaurant this time around and had a flight out so couldn't make it back to get it. I called the restaurant and Maya so kindly offered to ship it to me. please give this place a try if you get the chance :) Also, the cute cat cafe across the street is worth a visit to support a good cause :)

Went on Saturday evening for a dinner date as a walk-in, got seated immediately. Nice mood light and friendly service. Food was very delicious, especially all kinds of tapas! Would come again

Valentine's Day, 4pm, they are packed. We popped in for a little nibble without a reservation and we were seated quickly. This place is amazing. We'll be back for a ready dinner.
