What Is A Tapas Bar? -  A Spanish tapas bar is typically a small place to enjoy a "chato" ( small glass of wine) or a "ca�a" (a small glass of tap beer) accompanied with a small portion of an authentic Spanish appetizer. It's simply a nice place to have a good time with your friends.

Walk into a Spanish tapas bar and the first thing that hits you is the variety of appetizers (tapas) found: From pickles on cocktail sticks, cheeses, hams, chorizos, to sizzling hot dishes like shrimps al ajillo served in small earthenware casseroles. It's the chance to dip into so many tastes, as well as the visual spread of tapas that make them universally appealing.

But behind the apparently bewildering variety are certain clear principles. Originally a mouthful of food included in the bar-price of a fino, wine or beer, a tapa is designed to accompany drink and good conversation. The tapa, invented in an age less obsessed with productivity, is a trick for spinning out your drinks without getting drunk. And whether thirst provoking or absorbent, they should be easy to eat so they don't interrupt the flow of conversation.
