Barça City Cafe & Bar - Spanish restaurant in New Brunswick - 47 Easton Ave, USA

This place is CLOSED. As in, closed for MONTHS? as there's now a Five Guys awning and hand written signage about where to bring Five Guys deliveries. If you have your heart set on this place, I hate to be the one to shatter your ambitions right here on the Internet, but, be happy you weren't us and drove all the way tf up here for nothing.

Cozy tapas bar serving typical Spanish dishes on Friday nights. I heard their menu changes daily to other international foods. I didn't care for the shrimp camarones or the potato bravas. I loved the beef empanadas and the cocktails. The chocolate lava cake was delightful. A scoop of vanilla ice cream to accompany the cake would have been a plus. I thoroughly enjoyed the Afrobeats music played until a live band started to play. Service was very slow and not because it was busy. Rather, the server was on her phone.

They’re out of business! I called ahead twice to ask (1) if they allow children and (2) what time the kitchen was closed, and the woman who answered answered my questions without mentioning that Barca went out of business and shared a phone number with an adjacent middle eastern restaurant. We drove all the way there (30 min drive) on a 28 degree evening, and when we arrived it was closed with construction inside and a Five Guys sign atop. I called again, and watched as the woman in the restaurant next door answered and explained that Barca was sold and they share the same phone number. I’m so pissed because I called ahead! If you own or manage a restaurant that shares a phone number with another business (regardless if it is closed), you should instruct your employees to clarify with the callers who they are calling for. The google listing for Barca doesn’t say it’s closed and neither does its website. Unfortunately I didn’t see the latest review that states it’s closed because google didn’t highlight it.

I would recommend not coming here for food. We tried an array of food sandwiches, empanadas, and quesadilla. The only one that was semi decent was the empanadas. The margarita tower is mostly juice but great deal on the green tea shots. Would only recommend coming for reasonably priced drinks and some fun on karaoke night.

I truly enjoy coming to this bar! Pretty good food the drinks are always great! I enjoy this place now more than ever is because I see everyone who is in their mid 20’s so it feels nice compared to someone who just turned 21. Please let it remain this way! Also love love being outside in the back summer nights here with cute little lights it’s so refreshing! Yes it can get hectic I mean it is a bar what else would you expect! It’s annoying to find parking but I guess that’s everywhere.

Nice Tapas bar. Good food and drinks. Comfortable atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend.

Considering it's Covid. I'll let go of the delay in services. But it did take time for the waiter to serve us the order. And the kitchen got closed before we could order our main course, which is kind of disappointing (would suggest to order everything beforehand like before 9pm) . Least thing the server could have done was tell us earlier that we needed to order before that time. Will definitely revisit after Covid. But until then that's my review!

Stop looking for your new favorite spot for drinks, food, and music. I’ve been coming to Barca for years and their food and service is always excellent. Their drinks are phenomenal at great prices. I have tried many things on their menu as well as all of their $3.30 mini sandwiches. No complaints My delicious meal after a work. App Quesadilla w/Chicken or Flautas (Which are the best in town) Entree Churrasco Steak- comes with rice, beans. Desert- Tres Leches (Very Nice Presentation) The TEQUILA bottles they have sometimes are very very exclusive. This is the spot to come to come for a date, do work, or just to take a load off. Staff is very friendly & accommodating. Keep up the good work guys.
