✨ An Evening in Spain: The Barcelona Wine Bar Dinner Experience

🗓 Reservation Details

• Restaurant: Barcelona Wine Bar – 508 North Washington Avenue, Minneapolis, MN
• Date: October 8, 2025
• Time: 7:00 PM
• Party: 6 guests

I specifically chose this time so that everyone can enjoy themselves — by 7 PM, the restaurant has a lively yet comfortable energy, and the noise level should be manageable for conversation and a relaxed evening.

Since Barcelona Wine Bar has just opened, please keep your RSVP updated. This will ensure that if you cannot make it, someone on the waiting list will have the chance to attend.

From my own experiences travelling around Spain.

The paella — Spain’s most iconic dish — is meant to be enjoyed family-style, bringing everyone together around the table to share in a true Spanish dining tradition.

With that in mind, I thought it would be fun for us to try one of Barcelona Wine Bar’s specialties:

🍤 Paella Mariscos — a classic seafood paella brimming with shrimp, squid, mussels, clams, and saffron rice, all simmered in a rich seafood broth.

It’s the perfect way for everyone to experience authentic Spanish cuisine the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
