Barca
Mediterranean-inspired bar and restaurant with tapas, cocktails, and a buzzy atmosphere. A popular spot for evening drinks and sharing plates.
About Barca
Barca brings a taste of the Mediterranean to Gosforth High Street with its tapas-style sharing plates, cocktails, and vibrant atmosphere. The menu leans Spanish and Italian — patatas bravas, charcuterie boards, bruschetta, and grilled meats — complemented by an impressive cocktail list and well-chosen wines. It's a popular choice for Friday night drinks, date nights, and group celebrations. The interior has a warm, contemporary feel with exposed brick and ambient lighting. Weekend evenings can get busy, so booking is recommended. A welcome addition to Gosforth's growing evening scene.
