The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, the selection is unparalleled in the city. I hear their mixed drinks leave something to be desired but I haven't tried em myself - stick to the tequila straight and you'll do fine.
If you're new to tequila, and maybe wary because all the tequila you've tried has tasted like fire and paint thinner, Reposado is a really great place to fix that, because they do it right. Ask the bartender for something gentle and "silver" (clear, hasn't been sitting in barrels for years) just to get the flavour figured out. Tequila has a lovely fruity flavour but a lot of people dive in to the aƱejo (aged) stuff which is golden from the oak, and can taste almost more like whiskey than fruit. Aging does all kinds of wonderful things to the flavour, don't get me wrong, but starting with the silver stuff helps you understand where it comes from. Then you can move through the aging process, they can even assemble you a tasting flight that takes a single tequila through its ages. Very educationadrunk.
Strangely, I've never been here when they've had live music going, but it ought to be a great place for it - cozy, good booze, nice vibe.
