Our Library

Drinking to get drunk just doesn't fly anymore. Sure, college was fun. As was high school for some of us. As was middle school those two times. But now we know -- most of the time -- better. And we're far more appreciative. We take our time sipping our tequila and craft beer. And, damnit, we take it seriously. Besides, everyone knows you have to let good tequila and good beer warm up with the room before best imbibing. That's when the stuff in your glass becomes more than just alcohol. It becomes a sensory awakening, revealing aromas and tastes no 21st shot on your 21st birthday or beer bong at a homecoming tailgate ever could.

Having said that, appreciation for great spirits is an ongoing process, one that is best understood with patience, practice, and a excellent selection of literature.

Therefore, we give you the La Margarita Library, a collective of books, dictionaries and recipe guides on all things tequila and great beer.

All books may be checked out for a span of one week. And best of all, it doesn't cost you. All you have to do is give us your word that you'll bring it back. Oh, and you're more than welcome to peruse the material while you're in the restaurant.
