Why everyone keeps coming back.
Nestled along the picturesque Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach, Telefèric Barcelona Long Beach invites you on a vibrant culinary journey through the heart of Spanish and Mediterranean flavors. This dynamic restaurant and cocktail bar masterfully blends traditional tapas, authentic paellas, and expertly crafted sangrias, creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere infused with the unmistakable warmth of Barcelona's coastal charm.
Upon stepping inside, you're welcomed by an inviting, casual vibe that perfectly complements Telefèric’s culinary offerings. Large windows frame views of the bustling street and nearby boat docks, while the soft backdrop of classic Spanish music enhances the experience, effortlessly transporting guests to the sun-soaked streets of Spain. Diners frequently note the attentive, friendly service that makes every visit feel personal and effortless—ideal for family outings, dates, or gatherings with friends.
The menu at Telefèric Barcelona offers an irresistible selection that caters to both traditionalists and adventurous palates. Among the standout dishes are the Grab & Go sangrias, available in three enticing flavors, including the celebrated Barceloneta Sangria, named after one of Barcelona’s iconic neighborhoods. These perfect-for-any-occasion sangrias are offered with a generous buy-one-get-50%-off deal, encouraging you to sample multiple varieties or double down on your favorite. Plus, there’s the eco-friendly perk of returning empty bottles for a discount on your next order—perfect for those wanting to savor authentic Spanish flavors at home.
For those craving a more substantial dish, Telefèric’s paellas are truly exceptional. The G&G Paella Tomahawk, featuring a succulent, 40 oz. rib-eye special cut paired with traditional bomba rice, delivers a savory, smoky symphony of textures and tastes, made even more special by the choice to dine in with a real Spanish paella pan or take it to go. The option to rent a classic paella pan, with a fully refundable deposit upon its return, elevates the authenticity of your experience and highlights Telefèric’s commitment to tradition.
Tapas lovers will delight in the thoughtful variety of small plates that sparkle with bold, vibrant flavors. Dishes like Wagyu empanadas, patatas bravas, jamón croquetas, and pulpo draw rave reviews for their perfectly balanced seasoning and hearty portions. The iberico ham stands out as a fan favorite, paired beautifully with one of Telefèric’s expertly mixed cocktails or their signature “iberico” drink, making it a memorable companion for a date night or evening with friends.
In addition to their fresh, made-from-scratch dishes, Telefèric Barcelona stocks a curated retail selection of authentic Spanish products, such as Alioli by Espinaler—a rich, garlicky sauce that complements paellas and seafood with luscious depth—and imported anchovy fillets, olives, and Arbequina extra virgin olive oil. These retail items allow guests to bring a touch of Spain’s culinary heritage into their own kitchens.
Whether you’re dropping in for a casual lunch, a festive dinner, or a relaxed drink while watching the world go by, Telefèric Barcelona Long Beach offers a spirited and genuine slice of Mediterranean culture right in the heart of California. With strong cocktails, attentive service, and an atmosphere that melds modern cool with a cozy, laid-back spirit, it’s a destination that leaves a lasting impression on both locals and visitors.
