Barcelona Westside Ironworks

Upon arrival, my friend and I were politely greeted by the General Manager, Nicolas. Although we had a reservation for 2pm, Nicolas suggested we take a seat at the bar, which was an amazing recommendation.

I was lucky enough to have a friend who was a regular, so he knew exactly what to order for us. We started with some shots of JAJA and a Catalan cocktail. Our bartender Mo was super helpful, attentive and friendly, even with a packed bar.

We ordered tapas to share: gambas al ajillo (grilled shrimp), Brussels sprouts, and the grilled chicken with the honey mustard tasting sauce. Everything was beyond delicious!

The menu has something for everyone and the atmosphere of the restaurant was perfectly energetic.

I'll absolutely be back! I've been to the Inman Park location but this one takes the cake for sure.

Draft

To start, we had a reservation for 2 at 7:45, arrived on time, and we still didn't get seated until an hour later. Wasn't a good start to the night but we figured it happens. Dinner services get back logged and such. The hostess wasn't very welcoming though. 30 mins into waiting, I asked for an update and she mentioned we had a table set for us and it needed to be clean. It's hard to believe it takes 30 mins to clean a table. They really need to get their reservation system in order.
The service was alright. Again, with it being so busy, the server was rushing all over. The table we got was dirty so I asked them to clean it when we sat down. Since everything was backlogged we didn't really get "good" service.
We ordered the Aperitivo Board, 4 tapas dishes, a glass of wine, and a dessert. We never got carrots and the server forgot the wine (he brought it towards the end and comp us since he said he forgot). The food was adequate. I think since the overall experience was mediocre from the start, it affected the food.

I had been here many time pre-covid, but came in for th first time since last week for a double date with friends who had never been to any location. Everything was good. As I remembered. Our server was great for recommendations - very personable, not affected or trying to upsell an expensive drink. Saw that my first drink as a citrus infused gin & tonic and when I asked about something else he suggested something that would be more in line with my first drink in terms of flavor profil so it wouldn't be super jarring. I appreciated that.

We ordered 10 plates. The portions were smaller than I remember them being before, but all very good. I recommend ordering in waves rather than placing a big order. We ran out of table space lol.

They did forget to bring us one of our plates and we had to ask 4 times for it so when we did finally get it, it was kind of funny to get such a small plate so much later to split between 4 people (we assumed it was going to be comped as 4 reminders is a bit ridiculous but it wasn't)

Highly recommend the Olive oil cake, squash & burrata, potatoes, and the spring salad with beats and feta.

This was my first time sitting inside (at any location) and its a really cool atmosphere, huge bar area. I do prefer the outdoor seating but that's just me. It is, unsurprisingly, very loud on a Friday night. Fair warning. We were yelling across the table to hear each other.

If you are looking for an experience and a romantic spot with exceptional lighting and nice wines then this is the place for you. The service was impeccable and our server was nice, even though his shift was ending.

The menu was a bit complicated to read and understand, I ended up choosing the potatoes with salsa and cheese over top. I thought it would be a little different (salsa and cheese) it was more like a tomato paste and thick mozzarella. It wasn't bad, just wasn't for me.

My problem was that I came there very hungry and I wasn't able to eat how I wanted, but I had an amazing time there with friends and the great service.

I came here for the first time with my social group for our monthly bookclub meeting. I really had good expectations being as though I frequented their DC location but my visit was not the best here. I had a reservation for 6 people and they placed us in a booth for 4 people. Seating was tight and cramped. Service was super slow. It took 30+ minutes for my sangria and over an hour for food. I was the first to order and the last to get my food. Orders were messed up. I didn't really have a good experience.

me and the roomie came for happy hour and had a hoot and holler of a time! the bartenders were super friendly and i loved the vibe of the bar area!

to drink i started with their sparkling wine flight (incredible deal at $10) we got a few bites from the beef tartare which my roommate loved to the croquettes and also a meat and cheese spread.

happy hour espresso martini was delicious!! i would come back again for sure.

my roommate used to work in fine dining and was a little dissatisfied at the service, as they forgot to put an item in for us or had to come back to ask about our drink, but it didn't read rude to me. I'm pretty lax on that stuff, but wanted to share her perspective!

I thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant. The ambiance and scenery was delightful, and the service was prompt. Every dish was fantastic, especially the potatoes and pork. If you're in the mood for tapas or small plates, this place is a must-try!

Came here for an early Mother's Day outing. Really great environment (sat outside) and vibe. Strongly suggest making a reservation (I overheard the hostess quoting an hour and a half wait). We ordered the Hanger Steak, Pork Belly, Empandas and Calamari with the red Sangria. It was l great and came out extremely quick. We enjoyed it!

Had a great time here! I've visited this location a few times, and the ambiance is nice. There is $5 valet parking, and it is often full. I tend to order a patatas bravas, calamari, and mini steak. The service is also amazing, however I recommend making a reservation because they're usually busy.

Really great place for wine, snacks and conversation! We had a reservation on a Saturday afternoon... we were seated right away. The place was buzzing with people and the servers greeted us right away. Two couples in our party and we ordered wine and beer. First came our Charcuterie with killer good Manchego etc. We then had Bacon wrapped dates sitting on Blue Cheese... mmm SO delicious... definitely be ordering these again!! The Spicy Beef Empanadas were also very good. We shared a slice of Burnt Basque Cheesecake, which was the perfect finish for our little soirée. Onto Hamilton at The Fox. We'll definitely go back to this eclectic restaurant and try some more options of their great cuisine... might try the happy hour next visit.
