Creative and fun events—complete with drink specials— also give guests a party vibe to look forward to, without all the tedious planning.

The atmosphere alone is worth visiting for, but, let’s be honest; you’re there for the margs. If you’ve never been to Wicked Tequila Room, you might assume that a margarita is a margarita is a margarita... but you would be wrong. Not only do they have their own handcrafted versions, but they invite you to “Make your own” which leads to as many margs as there are individuals who drink them.
