Here's my list of Sangria joints that also feature flamenco shows:

La Costa del Sol 710 King St Old Town Alexandria
(703)836-4000
Spanish restaurant. Flamenco shows about once a
month. Formerly of El Bodegn fame, dancer Ana
Martinez is accompanied by guitarist Paco de Mlaga. (Closest Metro stop: King St)

La Bodega 2039 Wilson Blvd Arlington
(703)522-6622
Mediterranean cuisine. Flamenco shows on Fridays and Saturdays. Dancer Joana del Ro is accompanied by guitarist Toms or Torcuato Zamora. (Closest Metro stop: Court House)

El Bodegn 1637 R St NW
(202) 667-1710
Sorry folks. After more than thirty years of regularly presenting flamenco shows, El Bodegn has closed down as of Tuesday March 18, 1997. A new El Bodegn may be opening in the Fall in a new location across the street from the new opera house.

Taberna del Alabardero 1776 I St NW
(202) 429-2200
Spanish restaurant. Shows occasionally. Around March and October, the Taberna brings a flamenco cuadro down to DC to perform for usually about 5 or 6 nights as part of a prix fixe dinner. Some of the previously invited artists: La Repompa, Contratiempo with guitarist Vicente Corts(!), Paco de Mlaga with singer Toms de San Julian, Manolo Leiva with guitarist/singer Marija Temo. This is a very expensive restaurant so don't say I didn't warn you, but the high quality flamenco show usually justifies the expense! (Closest Metro stop: Farragut West)

Restaurant Andalucia 4931 Elm St Bethesda MD
(301) 907-0052
Spanish restaurant. Shows occasionally. Live guitar music on Sundays by Torcuato Zamora. Past performers include dancers Joana del Ro, Natalia Montelen, Ana Martinez, Susana Lorenzo; guitarists Marija Temo, Paco de Mlaga, Jesus Serrano; singers Manolo Leiva and Marija Temo. They also have another restaurant by the same name in Rockville, but I haven't been there myself yet. (Closest Metro stop: Bethesda)

Jaleo 480 7th St NW
(202) 628-7949
Spanish tapas bar. Brief Sevillanas shows on Wednesday nights. Excellent tapas! (Closest Metro stop: Archives/Navy Memorial)

Sevilla Restaurant 4700 Eastern Ave Baltimore, MD
(410) 522-5092
Flamenco shows every other Saturday. A small
restaurant with plenty of good seats for the flamenco show. Dancers Natalia Montelen and Edwin Aparicio are accompanied by guitarist Enrique Jova and singer Guillermo Juan-Christie. Telephone for more info/reservations. To my knowledge, this is the ONLY flamenco show in Baltimore!  OK, so maybe Tio Pepe's used to have one...but no more!!!
