Margarita March is on at the Rochey 🍸
All month long we’re pouring $14 Classic Margaritas and $14 Spicy Margs! Dangerously easy to drink. The kind you order “just one” of… and then don’t.
If you’re after something a little sharper, our Tommy’s Margarita ($20) does things properly: tequila, house-made lime and agave, served on the rocks with a clean salt rim. No shortcuts, no sugar overload, just a very good marg.
