Boqueria Soho

Spanish Tapas & Vibrant Energy in the Heart of Soho

Boqueria Soho brings the flavors of Barcelona to downtown Manhattan with a modern, bustling atmosphere that’s ideal for a night out. Located on Spring Street in the stylish Soho neighborhood, this trendy tapas bar serves up a wide array of authentic Spanish small plates, seasonal sangrias, and shareable dishes that are perfect for fueling up before a show. With its rustic-chic décor, open kitchen, and high-energy vibe, it's a favorite with locals and visitors alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its convenient location just a short walk or quick subway ride from major NYC music venues, Boqueria Soho is a smart pick for pre-concert dining. The quick, attentive service means you can enjoy a full meal without worrying about missing the opening act. The shareable nature of the menu makes it easy for groups to graze without committing to one entrée, and the upbeat, buzzy atmosphere feels like a preview to your night of music.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split plates and pitchers of sangria
• Solo travelers wanting a lively bar spot with great people-watching
• Couples seeking a romantic but energetic start to their evening
• Fans who want to keep the energy high before showtime
• Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate tapas-style flexibility

What People Say

Customers rave about the authentic Spanish flavors, especially the patatas bravas, pan con tomate, and chorizo-stuffed dates. Many highlight the fun ambiance and note that it’s “perfect for sharing and socializing.” The staff are often praised for being “friendly and fast,” and the sangria gets repeated shoutouts as a must-try. Several reviewers mention how easy it is to stop in before heading to a concert or show nearby.

Areas for Improvement

Like many popular NYC spots, Boqueria Soho can get crowded and noisy during peak hours, so if you're seeking a quiet, intimate dinner before a show, this might not be your best pick. Some diners also note the tables are close together, which is great for energy but not for privacy. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for flavor-packed plates, an electric vibe, and quick service before your next concert, Boqueria Soho hits all the right notes.
