From tropical tiki pop-ups to upscale steakhouse celebrations and unbeatable margarita deals, there’s no shortage of options for tequila enthusiasts to toast the occasion. Here’s a breakdown of where to sip, savor, and celebrate National Tequila Day in Philadelphia this summer.
National Tequila Day Specials at El Rey, El Vez, and LMNO
Three of the city’s most vibrant destinations for Latin-inspired dining — El Rey, El Vez, and LMNO — will be celebrating National Tequila Day with lively happy hours and specialty drinks. Of particular note is El Vez’s exclusive “Tequila Garage Sale,” a limited-time pop-up experience featuring specialty-priced cocktails and curated flights of premium tequilas and mezcals. Expect a stylish celebration with expertly crafted cocktails, perfect for both tequila aficionados and curious newcomers.
National Tequila Day at Rosy’s Taco Bar and Rosy’s East
Affordable and festive, both Rosy’s Taco Bar (2220 Walnut Street) and Rosy’s Taco Bar East (624 South 6th Street) will offer $5 margaritas from 3:00 to 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 to 10:00 p.m., respectively. Guests can opt to add flavors for just $2 more, but pitchers and frozen margaritas are not part of the promotion. These locations provide an easygoing and fun atmosphere, ideal for after-work gatherings and casual get-togethers on National Tequila Day.
Celebrate National Tequila Day at Juno
At Juno (1033 Spring Garden Street), guests can enjoy $7 shots of Cazadores Blanco in honor of National Tequila Day. The venue already boasts a reputation for solid everyday deals with $5 margaritas and $25 pitchers, but July 24 promises an extra reason to stop by and enjoy a tequila-forward evening in one of Spring Garden’s favorite outdoor spots.
River Tiki Pop-Up: Tiki Meets Tequila
Located at Liberty Point on Penn’s Landing (211 S. Columbus Blvd), River Tiki is a 120-seat summer pop-up that brings the magic of mid-century tiki cocktail culture to the Philly waterfront. Open from 4:00 p.m. to midnight on National Tequila Day, River Tiki offers two standout drinks crafted with blanco tequila. The Electric Guppy ($17) is a vibrant blend of blanco tequila, lime, pineapple, passion fruit, almond orgeat, banana, and bitters — tropical and tart with creamy almond richness and a hint of banana funk. The Sun Temple is a show-stopping citrus and spice concoction served in shareable tiki-style bowls. Choose from the Shell Phone for two ($30), the Active Volcano for four ($55), or the Punch Drunk Bowl for six ($80). These colorful, theatrical presentations make River Tiki a must-visit for National Tequila Day.
Upscale Tequila Tastings at Sullivan’s Steakhouse
Looking for a more refined National Tequila Day experience? Head to Sullivan’s Steakhouse on July 24 between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. for $5 off select tequila-based martinis and cocktails. Highlights include the Spicy Flamed Margarita, made with Flecha Azul Blanco Tequila, Cointreau, fresh orange juice, agave nectar, and finished with a chipotle salt rim and flaming lime cup garnish. The Strawberry & Agave Fields: crafted with LALO Blanco Tequila, St-Germain, lime juice, muddled cucumber, and strawberries for a refreshing finish. This chic celebration adds a touch of sophistication to National Tequila Day and makes Sullivan’s the perfect destination for an elevated after-work toast.
It doesn’t matter if you’re craving craft cocktails in a tiki haven or classic margaritas in a buzzing taco bar, National Tequila Day in Philadelphia offers an experience for every taste. From pop-up parties to patio pours and upscale lounges, this year’s celebrations prove that Philly knows how to honor the spirit of agave with flavor and flair.
