Happy Hours on: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Monday to Friday (3-6 PM); half-priced tapas and sangria.


Old World Spain coupled with modern charm. While the restaurant is lauded as the premier place in Washington for authentic Spanish cuisine, the bar has a lesser-known happy hour (from 3 to 6 weekdays) that—if you can dash away from the office early enough—is very worthwhile. Both red and white sangría are half off, as is the full tapas menu; try the patatas bravas or tortilla española.
