3. Bodega

Drinking sherry with your tapas is traditional and truly the right way to experience Spanish cuisine. There is a sherry for every kind of food and at Bodega, The Tapa Bar’s new sister location, you can select from over a dozen classic sherry wines to pair with authentic Spanish tapas. A Bodega in Spain is typically a small shop and can range from a warehouse, a grocery store to a wine cellar. Bodega offers a tapas experience that is relaxed and comfortable and the perfect spot to enjoy a pre-dinner, or late-night cocktail and a few bites (pintxos). Also open for lunch.

Browns Socialhouse is dedicated to the art of presenting exceptional cuisine in our own stylish and unique setting. We’d like to think we simplify the dining experience, integrating fresh food and cheerful service in a relaxed environment. Our customers tell us that Browns makes them feel comfortable, relaxed and at home. This is no coincidence, it is the foundation of the term “Socialhouse”. For us Browns is more than a restaurant, it is a place to be welcomed, remembered and indulged, with a standard for service and food that will leave you feeling exceptional and satisfied, every time.
