Leather couches, a crackling fire in chilly weather, and live music and DJs draw a fancy crowd here for Oaxacan food, designer martinis, and three dozen–plus tequilas.

THIS RESTAURANT HAS CHANGED NAMES Blue Agave Restaurant Review

Blue Agave is still popular after 20 years in business, and much of that is due to a comfortable vibe, outdoor cigar lounge and plenty of premium tequila --- more than 40 by the glass. The two-story space is well suited to romantic dinners. Cuddle up in a cozy booth or on the overstuffed couch in front of the fireplace upstairs.

Nectar is a cool place with great food, music and beautiful ambiance. Sit upstairs in the lunge area by the fireplace or downstairs at the beautifully lit bar.

It's always one of my main stops when in town. They have awesome drinks and food. Fries and lychee martinis is amazing stop on a night out. If you are into spicy drinks they have one of the best spicy margaritas out there!

Great romantic restaurant with it's own vibe. The booths upstairs offer privacy for couples. The downstairs bar is a great locals spot. All menu items we've tried have been great!

Didn't know what to expect--but locals said this was a fun place for "flights of tequila"--so it intrigued the husband. Loved the atmosphere--dark & kinda funky...Madison, our server, was quite friendly and knowledgeable about the tequilas & the wide variety of foods on the menu....
