Tucked into the cultural heart of D.C., Boqueria Penn Quarter blends bold Catalan flavors with cosmopolitan flair. Just steps from the National Portrait Gallery and Capital One Arena, it's a favorite haunt for power-lunchers, theatergoers, and night owls alike. By day, it's paella with purpose. By night, the room hums with the clink of sangría glasses and the vibe of a bustling Spanish tapas bar. Slide into a bar seat for one of the city's most coveted Happy Hours—or gather your crew for the legendary Boqueria brunch.
