Tequila is most often enjoyed in three ways in this country: inside a margarita[1], as a shot[2], and on those hilarious T-shirts you buy at the beach that seem to imply tequila is quite potent.

But tequila is obviously more than just T-shirt fodder; its an exalted Mexican spirit that deserves our respect. And there are no better places in the country to enjoy it than at these bars, which house extensive tequila selections (or smaller, handpicked ones), and boast creatively delicious cocktails accompanied by just-as-delicious food.

Here are the 21 best tequila bars in America:

Chicago, ILThis tiny Logan Square Mexican joint has an impressive 50-plus tequila list, but what really makes Masa so masterful is their mezcal selection, which boasts almost as many bottles as their tequila, along with a sampling of sotol and bacanora. And theyve mixed em all into carefully crafted cocktails like the Oaxacan Old-Fashioned (mezcal joven, tequila reposado, agave, mole bitters) and the Heart of the Dead (tequila blanco, blood orange, passion fruit, pomegranate, limonada, Sorel). Eats include tacos, tequila-infused ceviche, chipotle scallops, and fresh guac.What youre drinking: Oaxacan Old-Fashioned 

New York, NYFrom the Death & Co.[4] dudes, this tequila-focused speakeasy aims to put common misconceptions to bed, the way tequila put you to bed those 12 times in college. The East Village spot boasts a creative cocktail list that proves tequila isnt just meant for margs, with drinks like The Red Baron (mezcal, red peppers, basil, lemon, absinthe). Over 40 mezcals round out a focused bottle list.What youre drinking: Ilegal Reposado

Austin, TXNamed after an Aztec myth about the goddess of agave birthing a legion of rabbits who traversed the country spreading the gospel of intoxication, 400 Rabbits was conceived by a grandaddy of the Austin cocktail scene, and is connected to an Alamo Drafthouse theater, so the next-level tequila complements everything from first-run films to Big Lebowski quote-alongs. Agave flights explore the different regions and classes of spirit, while infusions and creative ingredients, like mole bitters, level up the signature cocktails. Mexican street-snacks, like grilled corn, ensure you wont go hungry.What youre drinking: Tequila Terroir flight 

San Diego, CAA drinkery actually named for the Aztec goddess of agave, CM features more than 200 tequilas to choose from. The kitchens open, so indulge your voyeuristic side and watch as your sirloin or carnitas tacos are prepared. The margaritas are top-notch, and the "herbal shots" are worth a gander as well, like the Fortitude with Fortaleza tequila blanco, maca root, and cocoa bean.What youre drinking: Blood orange margarita

Chicago, ILTheir tequila list may not be the longest, but 20-something options and a number of mezcals still makes Big Star a force to be reckoned with. Brought to Chi-town by James Beard Award-winning chef Paul Kahan, the honky-tonk dive has a killer outdoor seating area, margs with orange Curacao, an even-more-impressive whiskey list, and insanely delicious (re: James Beard-winning chef) tacos like the Al Pastor with spit-roasted pork shoulder & grilled pineapple, or the De Panza with crispy, braised pork belly.What youre drinking: Big Star margarita 

Los Angeles, CADecked out with vintage Mexican wrestling paintings and movie posters, this dark and divey joint makes for a deliciously unique experience. The tequila list is vast (100+), and the menu features dishes like tequila shrimp and brisket nachos. Margaritas are the move here, though, with options like cucumber mint and the spicy marg thats kicked up with fresh jalapeños.What youre drinking: Spicy margarita

San Francisco, CAWith an eye-catching Mason jar-filled ceiling put in by celebs, staff members, and industry pros, this Mission tequila temple has the largest selection in San Fran -- were talking more than 300. Never mind SF, this place has one of the most comprehensive tequila/mezcal lists in the whole damn nation. Ask the knowledgeable bartenders for recs to sift through the ridiculous collection, and opt for a tequila flight to try a few. Balance out your tequila intake with tacos stuffed with freshly shaved meat from their behind-the-bar trompo.What youre drinking: Any tequila flight 

Philadelphia, PAThis Northern Liberties neighborhood Mexican resto offers over 100 tequilas, and a bunch of flights, like intros to tequila & mezcal, and one for smoky-flavor lovers. Unique cocktails with ingredients like chile oil, maple bitters, ginger beer, and pomegranate liquor are viable options, but the margs really steal the show, with flavors such as prickly pear, passion fruit, pineapple, and guava. The food isnt just a distraction from the tequila -- its reason alone to visit, and you cant go wrong with their complimentary homemade chips & salsa, mahi-mahi tacos, or anything with chorizo.What youre drinking: Contrabandista

Minneapolis, MNThis tequila-centric Minneapolis spot has a swanky, slightly gothic ambiance with accents like dark wood, a back wall lined with tequila bottles (150+ types), and a crazy, wax-covered candelabra -- also an essential element to anywhere Evanesence records an album. They mix up a bunch of specialty margaritas like the sweet & spicy Macho Camacho (blood orange with ancho-infused tequila) and the fruity Mama Cita (hibiscus with orange and pineapple juices), plus tasty $10 lunch specials, and other affordable plates like ahi tuna and pork carnitas tacos.What youre drinking: Macho Camacho 

San Diego, CASituated within their tequila museum, which houses the biggest tequila bottle collection in the country (over 2,000 to try, including their house brand El Agave Artesanal), this place knows how to do tequila right while cooking up gourmet, authentic Mexican fare. Homemade salsas and a wide variety of moles made with freshly ground spices are standouts, but its really the sheer number of tequilas (and the classic margarita) that earns this place a spot on the list.What youre drinking: Any tequila you could ever want

Miami, FLTranslating to "land of tequila", TeQuiztlan is a casual Miami Beach joint that offers more than 100 tequilas served on tables with old Mexican movie flyers and out-of-circulation pesos built right into em. The quality of the food is on par with that of the tequila selection, throwing down tacos al pastor with pineapple, queso fundido, and guacamo...
