There is nothing better on a cold winter night than watch the sparks fly off of the rim of your glass as a La Bodega bartender sprinkles cinnamon in your Spanish coffee. The concoction, coffee with kalhua and rum 151, is just the beginning to the beautiful small steps that make up the dining experience at La Bodega. Specializing in tapas, the Spanish tradition of sharing small plates of hot and cold dishes, it makes for a festive atmosphere of sharing and camaraderie. The décor is colorful, with murals sweeping along the walls and lively music always playing. The white bean soup with chorizo and chicken is particularly good, as are any of the paella offerings. And with tapas, there will always be something to like as you share the experience of dining.
