Barcelona Wine Bar – Cambridge

Barcelona Wine Bar on Massachusetts Avenue makes a meal out of small plates, with patatas bravas, ham-and-Manchego croquettes and garlic shrimp among the tapas. Spinach with chickpeas and mushrooms offer vegetable options, while seafood paella brings shrimp, clams, mussels and calamari to a larger dish for the table.

The wine list gives Spain and South America plenty of room, with three- and six-ounce pours available if you want to try more than one wine. Cheese and charcuterie can start the meal or accompany a glass at the bar. Weekend brunch adds a daytime option; weekday service begins at 4 p.m.
