Tequila in the West Loop

Why West Loop

The West Loop is Chicago's restaurant showcase, and its agave programs range from very large margarita operations to quietly serious tequila lists. Both are worth knowing about — for different nights.

High volume, high polish. Ask for the back-bar list, not just the cocktail menu.
