Bodega Tapas Wine Bar
1210 Broad Street V8W2A4 Victoria, BC, Canada

We have a long lost case of the Ursa Major ‘Sabor a Mi’ that we’re pouring as our wine feature this week! It should pair nicely with the pork cheek chanterelle paella that’s being made right now for 5:00...

Feel like going to Spain for Thanksgiving? Or having it come to your dining room table? We’re offering a Moroccan roasted chicken dinner for four, for pre-order & pick-up, to take you on an imaginary trip to Spain, while keeping you safe in your bubble.

We are open! Tuesday- Saturday 12- 10pm Some of the safety protocols we’ve put into place for your safety & ours are: -cut our capacity by 50%... -set tables 2m apart -placed Plexi shields along our bar -set up sanitizer stations around the room for guests & staff -moved to a single use menu format -increased the sanitization of high contact points including (but not limited to) door handles, computer screens, bathrooms, phone, tables, chairs, trays & PIN pads -we’re wearing masks for our collective safety & to remind us that things aren’t normal, but we don’t expect our guests to -we’ve shifted from our ‘tapa style’ service of food to minimize how much time we interact in your space by bringing more food to the table at a time -we’re trying to keep our service as minimal contact as possible, but we won’t neglect you Some things you can help us with are: -using our sanitizer stations -asking us before moving chairs or tables -leaving an area clear at your table for your server to place food & drinks -practicing physical distancing from guests that aren’t in your dining party -as much as possible, one payment per table helps us avoid congestion -please appreciate that seating preferences are limited due to our restricted capacity -please stay home if you aren’t feeling well -remember that this is weird for us too, & a lot of these things are not up to us. We’re just trying to make this work as safely as possible

Our take-out window is open from 12-6pm today & tomorrow! The sun is coming out. If you have spontaneous picnic feelings we have everything you need. Pack a blanket & we’ll take care of everything else Call us with your order 778-406-1210 #picnic #tapapicnic @ Trounce Alley

A lot of you have been asking us when we’re opening back up (which we really appreciate) so we thought we should let you know our plans as far as we know. We’re carefully working through the guidelines required to safely reopen our patio & dining room and because the safety of our staff & guests is our main priority we’re taking our time to be sure we do things properly. As you know our patio & dining room are long narrow areas which pose a challenge to proper distancing so w...e’re working through the various seating configurations in order to make this possible. We’re hoping to have our patio ready to seat by Tuesday May 26 and then when we’re comfortable we’ll reopen the dining room too. Thanks for your patience while we figure our way this unfamiliar phase. Some things you may notice during these initial stages are: reduced seating, a shorter menu, wonky hours, and our smiling faces may be hiding behind masks, but they’re still here See more

Our take-out window will be open from 1-8pm today. Give us a call to place your order! 778-406-1210
