Should you expect to only drink tequila at Salud, a lounge that specializes in pure agave tequilas? Of course not, in the same way that folks don't only gulp canned beer at Cans, another Wicker Park bar from the same owners. If you embrace the theme, however, you'll have about 85 different tequilas to choose from, available straight, in a 2-ounce pour; in flights; or in the house margarita, the Tequila Mockingbird. This spot took over the original Holiday Club (the Holiday Club in Uptown is still going strong), and sports low-slung couches, a stucco interior and a metal tree sculpture framed by tequila bottles. Their menu complements a night of drinking with ceviche, mango scallops and a tequila cheeseburger.

Yuppie/Nice Going Out Type Bars
These are slightly more expensive and yuppie-like bars that are for going out hard for some fun. Classier and more crowded, they are Munoz-like places usually reserved for the weekend.
