Tequila & Sushi Review for Denver locals

Most of my life I have hated tequila for no reason. I have never abused it or consumed much of it. For a year or so I would enjoy a huge margarita made with too much tequila & barely edible taco bar at Jose O'sheas. Any evening I went there and consumed I knew I would be awake at 3 a.m. with God awful indigestion that would keep me awake the rest of the evening. Aside from that no horrible tequila demons in my life story so there is no explanation for my dislike of tequila.

I went to a tequila tasting a few years ago and realized there are quite a few extremely yummy tequila brands out there which mix for some unbelieveably great tasting drinks. The problem was I didn't know of any tequila bars until recently. A friend of mine and I have been spending happy hour at Mezcal Restaurant in Denver. Located at 3230 Colfax across from the Blue bird theatre it is in easy to find & safe are of town. I would estimate over 200 brands of tequila served and a great food menu makes this place worth checking out. Plenty of locals fill the tables and it is crowded enough it probably is a popular hangout for many getting out about Denver's night life. The dim lighting ads a ambiance that makes this suitable for dinner with friends, a date, or a drink at the bar after work. I recommend the Asombroso Blanca, my current favorite!!!

It is no secret I am a sushi slut and would do almost anything for some raw fish (I did say almost anything). If I am going to give a shameless plug for a tequila bar on my web page I have to give a Proud and FULL ENDORSEMENT of Kassai Sushi. Located in the strip of stores on Quebec just south of 7th Ave. Kassai has been a favorite dinning place for YEARS and hopefully years to come!!! They currently have sushi happy hour from 4:30 to 10 p.m. all ala carte sushi is $1 a piece! Their rolls are reasonable and while it isn't close to the flavor of Sushi Den the servers give the most obscenely fast and friendly service I have seen anywhere.
