Though the place won’t be offering any deals on the special day this year, we think it’s worth including Touche Hombre in the list because the atmosphere alone definitely suits the bill for a good World Tequila Day celebration. The cocktail bar and taqueria in Thonglor, a chain concept which hails from Melbourne, serves tequila and mezcal cocktails with fun and fancy names like Margarita Del Tommy, Nacho Libre and El Chupa Cabra.
