Barca is all about atmosphere by ann n on 8/7/2009 via Insider Pages
I love Barca for their wine and their atmosphere. Big, round, cushy booths. Heavy velvet drapes. Dim atmosphere and good music. As other reviews stated, Barca's is a great place for happy hour, drinks and conversation. Food menu will…

Great atmosphere by J P on 11/25/2008 via Insider Pages
Great atmosphere and overall setting for a cozy, intimate feel. It's not too loud or crowded during happy hour times, so it makes a great meeting spot.

Barca by Shea V on 4/29/2008 via Insider Pages
Wonderful spot up on Capital Hill to swig back a few drinks and hang out in a plush atmosphere. There is music playing, but not so loud you can?t have a conversation. The velvety furnishings make me wonder what happens after closing! ;)

Nice Lounge by Ariel S on 10/19/2006 via Insider Pages
I deducted a star from my review, because I had such poor service from the early-shift female bartender the last time I went. However, this has been one of my favorite bar/lounges for the past few years. Unlike some lounges, you can have…

Vodka bar - pretty cool by David N. on 3/27/2006 via Judy's Book
Barca is a large, almost cavernous lounge and does a great job making the place feel warm. The bi-level bar makes it more varied than many of the small single room lounges around Seattle. Big booths with high sloping cushions surround…

good drinks and good people watching by Erin F. on 3/16/2006 via Judy's Book
Barca is a pretty good spot although a bit north of downtown in Capitol hill. They have a good scene though. Drinks are good and there are loads of singles there which may appeal to your friend.

Too cool for school or warm, inviting place to be by tina V. on 3/16/2006 via Judy's Book
I could divide a room of people based on whether they like Barca and think it's charming and fun or whether they think it's full of pretentious hipsters. Although I'm pretty close to straddling the line, I lean slightly more to the "I…

eh by Rob B. on 10/21/2005 via Judy's Book
I always seem to know people who want to go here and think this place is great. The waitresses are typically slow and stuck up, the prices are so so and the crowd is typically trendy cap hill.I guess its all about priorities here. It…

Great place to meet friends by T. B. on 9/6/2005 via Judy's Book
This is a fun place to go and meet friends on Capitol Hill. Good drinks and friendly service. The bartenders are knowledgable and friendly. The atmosphere is tops. Nice, dimly lit space with darkly painted walls. Cozy and stylish. …

Nice place if you're patient by Michael C. on 6/3/2005 via Judy's Book
Walking into Barca immediately gives you a good impression. The style and layout is what a cocktail lounge should be. Grab a table with a friend on the main floor, pack one of the large booths with a small party, or enjoy the balcony for…
