Spain Wine Bar

What Spain Wine Bar does

Spain Wine Bar is a single-location rooftop restaurant and wine bar operating on the 8th floor of the Cambria Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland, owned by Peter Elias, a former pharmaceutical industry professional. The restaurant serves authentic Spanish cuisine—including tapas, paella, charcuterie boards, and pintxos—paired with handcrafted cocktails and a wine program featuring over 150 selections curated by sommeliers. It positions itself as the only rooftop restaurant in Ocean City, MD, with panoramic views of the bay and inlet.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model anchored on weekend bottomless brunch (Saturday–Sunday, 11am–3pm), full-service dinner, private event hosting (weddings, corporate events, showers) on a covered rooftop patio with a pergola, Social Hour programming (Tue–Thu 4–6pm, Fri 2–5pm), and gift card sales. Off-season sales are supported by a DoorDash delivery partnership delivering signature tapas and paella. Operational technology consists of standard hospitality integrations: SevenRooms for reservations, Tripleseat for private event bookings, and Toast Tab for gift card ecommerce. No proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, or patents are present in the operating stack.

Spain Wine Bar's customer base is consumer-facing and distributed across four primary segments: tourists/visitors to Ocean City, couples seeking romantic dining, private event hosts, and food/wine enthusiasts. The company has earned third-party recognition in 2024–2025 from Yelp, Chowhound, AOL/Yahoo Life, Delmarva Now, and the Ocean City "Best of 2024" program. Peter Elias has signaled expansion beyond the rooftop concept, with liquor license approvals secured for two additional restaurant concepts and an announced takeover of the Cowboy Coast (formerly the Paddock) venue on Coastal Highway.
