Does a certain agave spirit tequila your fancy? Then you’re going to want to clear your diaries this week to tackle the ultimate mile-long margarita crawl, right here in Manchester.
Going big for Margarita Day on February 22, 18 of the coolest bars in Manchester are coming together to form the almighty Margarita Mile. The bars, which include fan-favourites like Mean Eyed Cat and New Century, will all be showing off their own versions of the classic marg – so you can make it your unofficial mission to decide whose is best.
The crawl starts at Kampus at fan-favourite Madre followed by neighbour Salon Madre, and finishes, quite conveniently for those travelling by train, at New Century near Victoria station. In between you’ve got the likes of Tariff & Dale, Birria Brothers, Trof, Public, The Daisy, Yard and Coop, The Bay Horse Tavern, and award-winning cocktail bar, Stray.
Of course, it would be irresponsible of us to encourage you to stop at all 18 in one night – but you do have the whole week to complete the crawl. Or, more sensibly, you can pick a few of your favourites and make sure to line your stomach along the way. For instance, New Century houses this likes of Hip Hop Chip Shop and Banh Vi, which provide incredible carb-based substance, in case you’re looking for inspiration.
Each bar is doing things a little differently, so there’s no risk of them all blurring into one (well, that depends I suppose). The bar’s special margaritas will only be on their respective menus from Monday February 17 to Sunday February 23, so bear that in mind when making plans with your tequila-loving pals.
Lots of venues in Manchester will be hosting mini events throughout the week, however, on Sunday 23rd February Ramona will finish the weeklong celebrations with a huge closing party – with lots of fun and frivolity whilst raising a margarita!
