Last night, my friends and I wanted a fun local place to sit outside for dinner. Instead of our usual trip to Newbury, we decided to stay local in Brookline. We came across Barcelona, a tapas wine bar that has multiple locations. The ambiance was perfect for a warm summer night. We sat outside and began with a pitcher of white Sangria. Usually, I am not a fan of tapas food because I never feel quite full afterward. Luckily, the waiter helped us order the perfect (or maybe even too much) amount of food. We started with beef empañadas, red snapper, and patatas bravas. Then, the four of us split the vegetable paella (pictured below). We had great service, and even received a few free portions for waiting! I highly recommend this restaurant during the summer, especially the outdoor patio seating.
