Barceloneta

A Sunset Harbour original, Barceloneta has been bringing the flavors and energy of Spain to Miami Beach since 2011. The lively neighborhood spot helped put Sunset Harbour’s dining scene on the map, and more than a decade later, it still feels like exactly where you want to settle in for tapas, cocktails, and a table full of things to share.

The menu leans Spanish Mediterranean, mixing traditional preparations with a distinctly Miami sensibility. Start with classics like pan con tomate, patatas bravas, and creamy Ibérico ham croquetas before moving on to gambas al ajillo, grilled octopus, or the arroz negro, made with bomba rice, squid ink, prawns, and alioli. There’s also plenty coming off the grill, from Mediterranean branzino and lamb chops to skirt steak and a Kurobuta pork chop.

Drinks are very much part of the Barceloneta experience. The bar is known for its oversized Spanish-style gin and tonics, alongside sangria, vermouth, cocktails, and an exclusively Spanish wine selection.

Inside is buzzy and convivial, while La Terraza spills outdoors into Sunset Harbour, making it particularly good for people-watching over a long lunch, happy hour, or dinner with friends.
