Margs, Beers & Early Cheers at Wild Heaven West EndSome holidays deserve more than one day, and Wild Heaven West End is getting a head start on the Cinco de Mayo festivities with its “Cuatro de Mayo“ bash full of tamales, tequila, and good trouble. On Sunday, May 4, the air will be rich with the scent of El Tesoro’s signature tamales—plus a few specials made just for the occasion—while ice-cold beers and freshly shaken margaritas flow freely across the taproom and patio. To round out the Sunday Funday, Sudnat Studios will add even more color to the mix with a curated art market, perfect for browsing between rounds. And for anyone stretching the weekend—or making up for missing it—Wild Heaven’s Margarita Mondays keep the fiesta going with half-priced margaritas at all three locations every week. This Cinco de Mayo weekend, consider Cuatro the pregame, with just enough tequila to tip the weekend into overtime. Wild Heaven Beer has three Atlanta locations: West End (1010 White St SW, Atlanta, GA 30310); Avondale (135B Maple St, Decatur, GA 30030) in Avondale Estates; and Toco Hills (2935B N Druid Hills Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30329).

Tres Margs for Cinco at Vesper Vesper is coming with the three amigos as they mix up a trio of margaritas to get the fiesta started for Cinco de Mayo. Available all weekend long, the Banana Margarita kicks off the party, blending banana liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup, and tequila into a tropical getaway in a glass. For a floral-forward experience, the Lavender Margarita balances fragrant lavender syrup, vibrant pea flower, fresh lime, and a solid tequila base. And for those seeking a refreshing twist, the Prickly Margarita combines prickly pear, lime, cranberry, and tequila into a ruby-red sip with a hint of desert intrigue. Each concoction is a nod to the occasion without straying from Vesper’s signature touch, with the full menu of craveable American tapas and elevated cocktail program available. Vesper is tucked along the Atlanta BeltLine at 924 Garrett St., Suite D, Atlanta, GA 30316. For more information, visit www.vesperatl.com or call 404.343.1174.
