Tequila bar rec?

[ac106]

Heya all,

The wife and I are looking to head to a tequila bar tonight. We have been to Ole and Rudy's many times since we live nearby and want to try a new place.

Tequila selection is the first priority. Food is secondary as we can eat before but that’s a bonus. Out of Boston is ok, say 30-40 min drive.

Any recs appreciated!

I'm probably too late for you but Sunset Cantina has at least 70 tequilas (one review said 100). It's across from BU, has typical beer-bar food, and is sort of a young crowd, but it does have a remarkable tequila selection.

Masa in the South End has a pretty broad tequila selection, close to 100, most of them 100% pure agave tequilas, very little of that mixto BS. Avoid the house specialty "Masarita", an abomination. I like the fact that they carry Cazadores and El Tesoro, my two favorite budget-priced blancos.

A new place called Mezcal just opened on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, and bills itself as a tequila bar. It looked promising but can't personally vouch for it. Lots of other places to eat nearby if you decide to just go for drinks.

I haven't been yet, but the Intercontinental on the waterfront (Atlantatic Ave) has a tequila bar (and sushi!) - called Sushi Teq with 70+ kinds of tequila.

La Verdad has a very large tequila selection. I believe Masa does as well.
