This past weekend we finally had the free time with friends to make it up to the Daisy Tequila and Margarita Bar in Macon, Ga. We have been following the news and their business for a few months and were excited to check them out.
Ambiance
Small seating area, barrels as tables. The tabletop looked like a lazy susan but did not spin, the table chairs were not super comfortable, the lighting was appropriate, and the music was just enough to be there to notice but not loud enough to really hear what it was.
Margarita
They had several different margarita's and signature drinks to choose from. We had the el dragon classico, skinny margarita, tequila mojito, blood orange, and some rumchata thing. All the drinks were good but if you are a classic mojito drinker the tequila version may not be for you.
Tequila menu
Looking at the bar they had a wide selection of tequila and a few mezcals. We were looking for the Casamigos Anejo but they did not have it on the shelves. The bottles were on shelves about 6 feet behind the bar, making choosing a tequila difficult without a menu. I asked our friendly waitress for a menu and she said that they do not have a tequila menu but she has been telling them that they need to have one. With the business being billed first as a tequila bar a menu of tequila would be beneficial to customers who are looking to try different types of tequila. I would even suggest a flight option.
Light food
Guacamole, chips and salsa, tacos (chicken, steak, al pastor). The tacos were small but very good so order more than normal if you are looking to get full.
Value/overall opinion
The price points were within the average for a downtown bar and Macon is coming up in the world. Unfortunately for customers, there is only one bathroom which can create quite the line after a few drinks. We would go there again to have another drink but try to get there a little earlier due to seating constraints. After putting up a review on their Facebook page they did reach out to let us know a tequila menu was coming soon.
