Know before you go

Barcelona is the Spanish restaurant we book in German Village when tapas, sangria, and a patio night beat another steakhouse script. Lunch runs weekdays and dinner covers Sunday plus Tuesday through Saturday, with a bar happy hour Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. It suits date nights and small groups who want a longer table of shared plates.

Closed Mondays. Valet runs on Jaeger Street Friday through Sunday nights; street parking works earlier if you respect permit blocks. Start with our German Village page for the surrounding streets. Then compare other special-occasion rooms on our best unique dining experiences list. Confirm details on the business site the day you go because posted schedules change.
