Tapas: The More, The Merrier
Why settle for one dish when you can try a table full? That’s the tapas way at La Bodega. Bring your friends, family, coworkers, out-of-town visitors (or even just yourself) and order a colorful spread of small plates. Tapas mean variety—from spicy chorizo and crispy potatoes to garlicky shrimp and stuffed peppers.
A few must-try favorites:
-
Patatas Bravas: Pillowy potatoes in a bold, spicy tomato sauce.
-
Chorizo al Vino: Sausage simmered in red wine, deeply flavorful.
-
Queso de Cabra al Horno: Baked goat cheese bubbling in a tomato sauce, paired perfectly with garlic crostinis.
-
Pincho de Pollo y Chorizo: Skewered chicken and sausage with garlicky cumin aioli.
-
Paella: Generous enough to share, packed with saffron rice, chorizo, tender chicken, and seasonal seafood.

Brunch, Lunch, and a Patio With Personality
La Bodega starts the day right with brunch on weekends from 10am to 2pm. Bloody Marias, creative takes on eggs, and—no surprise—sangria for half price every Saturday brunch, plus all day Sunday. Expect brunch classics with a Spanish twist, along with lighter bites and solid coffee.
Lunch is a sweet spot Mondays through Fridays, 11am to 2pm. The menu rolls out hearty sandwiches like the Bocadillo Cubano, fresh salads, and cheeky daily lunch specials. Power lunch? Try a personal paella or a combo—half a sandwich with soup or salad so you can get in, get fed, and get back to your day.
When the weather’s in your favor, grab a table on the spacious patio. It’s lively without being noisy and just might be the best place in Kansas City for people watching over sangria and nibbles.
Happy Hour: Workday Hero
The happiest hours in town run Monday to Friday, from 2pm to 5pm. Score half-price tapas and drink specials. If you needed an excuse to skip the after-work emails and bring your crew, this is it. Try a glass (or a pitcher) of La Bodega’s famous sangria—it’s fruity, cold, and never too sweet.
Ordering wine? Monday nights offer all bottles under $50 at half price. Craving paella? Wednesday is the day. Fans of Spanish reds will want to mark their calendars for Thursdays, when all Marques de Caceres bottles are half price—no complicated rules, just easy choices.
Sangria, Cocktails, and the Drinks List
Just about everyone raves about the sangria, and with good reason. Saturdays bring half-price Sangria during brunch, and on Sundays, you get that same deal all day long. Not in the mood for wine and fruit? The cocktail menu covers the classics and then adds some Spanish flair. Sip a Cava spritz, try a spicy Spanish Manhattan, or keep it bright with a cucumber gin and tonic.
Looking for something to impress? The wine list showcases Spanish bottles you won’t see everywhere and a handful of fun finds from other wine-loving regions. Think crisp whites, bubbly Cava, and bold reds perfect for pairing with rich tapas.
Dinner Every Night—Plus Weekly Events
Dinner starts nightly at 5pm and goes late—until 10pm on weeknights, 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, or 10pm on Sundays. Mondays are wine night (hello, half-price bottles), Tuesdays celebrate service industry workers, Wednesdays star seafood-rich paella, and Thursdays bring half-off bottles from Spain’s Marques de Caceres.
This regular weekly schedule means there’s always a reason to visit, whether it’s a first date, a birthday, or just a plain old Wednesday that needs some flavor.
Events and Private Parties
If you’re looking for a place to gather a crowd, La Bodega offers both private dining and full buyouts. Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, office outing, or family reunion, our team is here to make it happen. There’s room for 80 to 130 guests indoors, plus that fantastic patio for spring and fall. Their event staff work with you on a custom menu—traditional, modern, or a little of both.
Friendly Vibe and Warm Service
One thing you’ll notice fast: the service is as good as the food. Smiling faces bring plates to your table. Need help picking a wine or just curious about what’s in the sauce? Staff are happy to explain, recommend, and adjust to special requests.
La Bodega is a spot to come hungry, leave happy, and always start planning your next visit before you even reach the door.
