BARCA Pier & Wine Bar

  • 2 Pioneer Mill Way Alexandria, Virginia

Thanksgiving along the waterfront is a special treat this year. In addition to the the Mediterranean-inspired menu offerings, celebrate Thanksgiving Barca style from 11AM-7PM with holiday specials like a Turkey Kofte–mint, cinnamon, cranberry chutney, and garlic yogurt ($15) and Honeynut Squash Romesco with quinoa crunch and olive oil served with warm bread ($14).

Immerse into a Christmas meal like never before, and celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day overlooking the Potomac. Both days, BARCA is featuring two delicious holiday specials this year: Scallops Al Ajillo with bay scallops, garlic, sherry, olive oil, and garlic toast ($19) and Catalan Lamb Kabob with cherry sofrito, cucumbers, and garlic yogurt ($24).

Located on the water in historic Old Town Alexandria, Barca Pier is a modern version of the traditional Spanish beach bars, or chiringuitos. Constructed out of shipping containers, Barca Pier features al fresco dining, with seating for up to 200 guests at tables, a bar, and lounge areas covered by retractable awnings.
