PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A wine bar and tapas restaurant will soon be coming to downtown Pittsburgh, opening in the former Sharp Edge Bistro's location along Penn Avenue. 

Barcelona Wine Bar will be the newest restaurant to open in the Cultural District, and is expected to do so sometime next year.

The restaurant will offer a menu featuring Mediterranean, Spanish, and South American cuisines in addition to extensive Spanish wine menu. 

Barcelona Wine Bar currently has locations in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and in a number of other states, including Connecticut, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia.

CBRE, the company that helped negotiate the lease between the landlord for the building and Barcelona Wine Bar says that the restaurant's arrival is expected to kick off a long list of high profile restaurants coming to Downtown Pittsburgh. 

The space Barcelona Wine Bar will move into has been unoccupied since Sharp Edge chose not to renew its lease near the end of 2020, citing challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
