One of the best restaurants in D.C. of it's kind. Buzzy atmosphere, suave decor, decent service and most importantly top-notch tapas! I recommend gambas al ajillo paired with the bistek a la parilla.
AlesoOctober 8, 2014You can order some tapas to share or as a snack, paella is amazing, you can join it with a glass of spanish wine, furniture and decoration is avant-garde #havetocheckin- CollegeFashionistaJanuary 14, 2014I love Bodega for a GNO. The deep red and black ambiance and a variety of sangrias gives off a chic and sultry vibe before you hit the bars and clubs. Not to mention the tapas are out of this world.
Karen TookuniNovember 11, 2014Great experience in my favorite neighborhood in DC. Have the gorgeous cava sangria and taste the shrimp sautéed in garlic, mushrooms and the jamón. The paellas are delicious!
BrandieNovember 25, 2020Not the best tapas I’ve ever had, but the service is excellent and sometimes that’s all you need after a long night.
Sandra FoytDecember 27, 2014Happy Hour Sangria with a variety of tapas is a great way to start off a fun night in Georgetown.- AlesoJune 2, 2013The place is cool and the tapas to share or as a snack are excellent, the paella is delicioys as well, if you are into spaniard dishes go for it!!
Lindsay LewisNovember 11, 2010Best tapas in DC for sure. Tortilla is best I've had since Spain. Same goes for croquetas. The $10 lunch box deal during the week is the best around- two tapas and soup or salad with manchego cheese
MK McKenzieJuly 5, 2015Shrimp sautéed in garlic is delicious, but the oil that it leaves behind is better than the shrimp itself. Soak it up with bread and your taste buds will explode.
Farha KNovember 8, 2011Must try the pomeno peppers stuffed with beef short ribs, and ask to be seated in the heated outdoor patio. Its quiter and makes a great setting for good conversation n laughs.
Elizabeth StoneFebruary 1, 2013Great tapas and atmosphere! Make sure you get the clams and the homemade apple tart or flan! Very delicious and great service!
Tarah FeinbergDecember 27, 2013Pleasant Spanish restaurant and bar. They play soccer and rugby games, if interested. They also have some great temperanillo.
The tapas are excellent. The wines are tasty. They also have a good happy hour.
Go to Bodega pretty much any night and ask for bartender Sachi or Tornike. They're the best. The tapas are good, but I go there mostly for the drinks and ambiance. My favorite late night hangout. Read more
Javier Vázquez ComesañaOctober 11, 2013They have Alhambra and Mahou beers, which are two of my 3 favorites from Spain. No Estrella Galicia though.
Delicious!!! I had the chicken croquettes, pear & walnut salad, the meatballs, the mushrooms and the skirt steak.... By far the best tapas restaurant I've ever been to!!!- Johnette BarhamOctober 23, 2013The shrimp sautéed in garlic is great. And their non-alcoholic Mojito is not too shabby either.
- Have a glass of their amazing white sangria, made the authentic way with cava (not white wine as in certain other DC establishments)
Madalyn GossNovember 10, 2012Sangria was fabulous!!! Food was really great as well. Don't go with a large group as they won't split up the check. We spent 15 minutes trying to figure out who was paying for what!!!
I've tried several different hot tapas. have not found one yet that I didn't like. experiment!
Dennis ZanattaNovember 16, 2010Nice Restaurant, beautiful decoration! Good choice to take your girlfriend or boyfriend. Ask for some Tapas (small dishes)
Stephanie MMarch 17, 2010Absolutely amazing. I love variety and the portions are perfect. Try the seared tuna with carmelized onions. Melt in you mouth!!

Heba Abdel NabyJanuary 23, 2012Have the tuna! And also try the skirt steak :) amazing red wine sangria..
Ophelia ZhaoJune 22, 2010I like their date wraped with bacon. Their ham with olives is always really good.
