An appropriate question for 7:45 AM. Of course you could chug a bottle of Svedka but how about a little class?
Introducing El Rio Grande on 38th and 3rd. I feel like this place gets no credit. I mean there's not even any good pictures on Google images. I'll admit I haven't been back since I found out they removed the massive stuffed buffalo hanging over the bar. But as the weather gets nicer, I start thinking about enjoying libations outside, and I'm reminded of its massive courtyard, always packed during happy hour, and of course its infamous margaritas.
When I first ordered one, my impression was it was the worst deal in the city. Ten bucks for a drink served in one of those mini plastic dixie cups? Give me a break. So I ordered two. Then I blacked out. See ya later.
No one knows for sure, but the rumor is they use Everclear instead of tequila. Don't ask the bartenders, they get pissed.
Disclaimer: if you try one of these, make sure to do so after, not before, dinner.
Bonus: go on a Tuesday. That way you can hop across the street for $1 beers at Third and Long.
