Bar Botellón

So I don't often pull the "I'm a Spaniard" card, but as a dual citizen of both Spain and the US I've honestly found the Portland Tapas scene a little inauthentic. UNTIL NOW. This place gets it. The Tapas are simple and true to form. The bar looks exactly like the ones I've been in my whole life. Someday I'll beg them to add tortilla espanola to their display cabinet, but for now they've got it right.

The pros: the wine selection. I also love the vibe of the place - it feels like a cozy spot to hang with friends and people watch. The key drawback is the food experience. They specialize in tinned meats, so what you think certain seafood items look and taste is completely different from what you receive. It would have been nice to have received a full understand ing of this before ordering. The 3 is more like a 2.5.

What a cute little place tucked in East Portland! They had a pretty small wine list for drinking (in my opinion), but it looked like they had a lot more to offer in bottles. There is a small market inside, with delectable choices of canned anchovies and other fish. Service was great.

What a lovely establishment with beautiful details and a welcoming and inviting vibe. From the chocolates on the counter to the carefully chosen tins of fish, to the friendly bartender and the delightful rose. Bar Botellon is a gem, where they really make you feel like you're the only customer in the place. This is my new favorite stop for a glass of wine and some delicious handmade tapas (try the marinated cheese and the sardines!!!!!!) I will be back!

Stopped into Bar Botellon because they were participating in the Kuto apps Shop Small Win Big event! Glad we decided to take a break for wine & tapas here, everything was a delight including the employee working that day. We ordered some various pickles, breads, and tinned fishes as well as a few glasses of vino to enjoy. They have a nice selection of wines, including a decent number of dry sherrys. Will definitely return, love that they use Kuto!

I didn't dine in but I love a place where I can buy some Son of Man cider along with some various tins of seafood. Well, this is precisely such a place so I did precisely such a thing. Pass on those beef sticks by the register though.

Great spot for delicious wine and small bites with a deliciously curated market and bottle shop

I really enjoy supporting this neighborhood wine bar. The fellas behind the bar are super sweet. I make an effort to take out-of-town guests here for a glass and snack. It's a good casual date spot too. The manchego is sliced so thinly; it's delicious. It's a great spot for an afternoon libation. Have some olives, too!

If you want to experience a little of Spain and to some extent Portugal, you need to go to this place. Exactly the way it is over in those two countries Alan is a very knowledgeable guy and we had a great time just having some wine and hors d'oeuvres or should I say tapas I highly recommend this place I don't post a lot of reviews, but this one is worthy of it

Pleasant, informal, small but tasty menu. Fun to try unfamiliar Spanish wines.relaxed staff
