Recently voted one of the top hot spots in the country by OpenTable.com, this tequila bar feels like the set of a Robert Rodriguez flick. The ultra-premium tequila menu here is six pages long, listing 55 types of blanco tequilas alone, 53 reposados, 48 aejos, and 20 extra aejos. Expect to pay handsomely for the rarer sips, up to $75 for a cognac-like sip of extra aejo.

But this is a spot thats not just for tequila connoisseurs (yes, they have margaritas).
