    Hi, the Copper Lounge in Albuquerque has a seperate bar inside called Los Conejos. Dedicated to all things Mexico and, of course, a great Mezcal selection.

    Check it out = https://www.copperloungeabq.com/conejos-home

    Have not been there yet but this one in Baltimore looks promising:

    I notice you don’t have anything for Virginia and with good reason there are few Mescalerias there, but I know of one in Charlottesville worth mentioning. The Bebedero has the best selection of Tequilas and Mezcal in Virginia and the owner regularly travels to Mexico to research new Mezcals. He also teaches a class on tequila and mezcal that’s really insightful. I took it once and now I’m a regular there. Here’s their Website Thebebedero.com
    If you ever make it down that way check them out.

    In Denver CO, the owners of Adelita’s mentioned here just opened up Palenque Mezcaleria. 75 labels as of their opening and an excellent variety. They’ve also got some tequilas and local non-agave spirits.

    In Austin, TX, Mezcalería Tobalá might be worth a mention.

    These restaurants have a solid variety in Washington, D.C. The food and service are ok, not great, but the tequila and mezcal options are entertaining enough to make me go occasionally.

    Hi,

    I own and operate a restaurant and tequila bar in Indianapolis, IN called La Margarita. We offer 186 distinct mezcals, flights, and occasional tastings. We’re always looking to add new mezcal to our shelf. Sotol, Bacanora, Tequila — anything agave-based, we’re after!

    I would love for you to consider us for your database.

    Just picked up a few copies of your book, looking forward to using it as a great resource.

    Take care,

    Jon Rangel

    An update for Houston: Hugo’s (http://hugosrestaurant.net). A high-end Mexican restaurant in Montrose with a selection of mezcales, including the option of ordering a flight to sample three different ones. The mezcal menu online is a bit out of date; they had a much larger selection, and the only flight they offered yesterday was Del Maguey San Luis, Fidencio Clasico Joven, and Pierde Almas Espadin.

      So you think Hugo’s belongs on the list? Does not seem stellar??

        Yea, I think it belongs. The Pastry War has a much larger selection of tequilas and mezcales, but practically no food options (just tamales or chips). So if you want dinner and a mezcal, Hugo’s is your place. The food is stellar; the selection of mezcal is reasonably good (around a dozen premium ones to choose from).

    El Publico in Perth Australia has a really large range of Mezcal and (tequila) and amazing food! The bartenders here are really passionate about mezcal and are really pushing this spirit category in Australia.

    Museo Mayahuel in Sacramento has a mezcaleria inside it with a large selection of mezcales…Oscar Escobar, the bar manager there, knows a ton about mezcal and imparts his knowledge…

    http://tequilamuseo.com — scroll about halfway down and you’ll see a great shot of the mezcaleria…

    saludos, raza

    ps: keeping a list of Mexico mezcalerias might be an exercise in futility!
