I was invited to\u00a0Bodega on Main<\/a>‘s 3rd Anniversary\u00a0party last week and was joined by an enthusiastic crowd of family and media guests. It was great to see the 3-year-old location, helmed by\u00a0Paul Rivas, and his sister Natalie Rivas, has kept the legacy from the\u00a0original Spanish\u00a0tapas bar downtown. The former La Bogeda was founded by their father Paco and business partner Jose 43 years ago.<\/p>\n

The current location is just as fabulous. The 4350-square-foot restaurant at 1014 Main Street in a\u00a0107-year-old heritage building, serving the popular dishes from the old spot, as well as new offerings on the food menu and at the bar.<\/p>\n

A whole leg of Jamon\u00a0can never be missed at a Spanish party!<\/p>\n

The vast space and the high ceilings were decorated in Europen style. The main dining area was simply stunning. I visited the restaurant last year for the Caesar Challenge<\/a> and was truly impressed. Check out the post for pics with better lighting<\/a>.\u00a0 Besides the amazing selections of Spanish tapas dishes, they also served Spanish-inspired brunch on the weekends.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive list of Spanish wines can be found at Bogeda on Main, as well\u00a0as beers and speciality liquors. I was enjoying the premium red and\u00a0the delicious Sangria offered during the evening, as well as some of the beautiful bites of their signature dishes such as the albondigas\u00a0(Spanish meatballs), ceviche, potato\u00a0croquettes, Jamon\u00a0melon wraps, anchovies on toast, and the tortilla Espanola.<\/p>\n

This was my first time checking out their downstairs bar. This is a fantastic space for parties. While guests were enjoying live music, great company, amazing food and drinks, we were offered boozy shots through the most fun way. Their 3-year-anniversary ice sculpture is also a vessel for serving icy cold alcoholic shots.<\/p>\n
