In Philadelphia, National Margarita Day (Feb. 22) isn’t just a holiday — it’s a citywide salt-rimmed celebration, with everyone from rooftop lounges to neighborhood cantinas shaking up their best agave-forward pours.
Here are the best local spots to celebrate.
Condesa + El Techo
Marg fans can hit two concepts in one building when they head to Condesa and El Techo, and the Center City chic dining room and rooftop locale are pouring agave-forward cocktails just for the occasion. Beyond margaritas,the menu also includes sips like a Paloma, Ranch Water, and Mango Mango with a Tajín rim.
Additionally, El Techo will host DJs and serve up specialty Libélula tequila and Banhez mezcal margaritas (and flavor add-ons) on that date from noon to 7 p.m. Reservations are available via Resy.

Sor Ynez
This Fishtown favorite is known for its modern Mexican flavors, moody dining room, and of course, some margs. When headed here, locals can expect a Classic and Mezcal option with a spicy rim enhancement if you’re feeling bold — all designed to pair perfectly with tacos, ceviche, and whatever else hits your table. It's not open on Sundays, but people can head there for a belated or early celebration.

Corio
Corio currently sports a Blood Orange Margarita on their menu, along with a Mezcal forward cocktail dubbed “Just One Last Thing.” But the added benefit of heading there this Sunday comes in the form of the venue’s newly established “Sunday Dinner” experience, which features four courses for $45 per person.
