Located on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, Daisy Margarita Bar is a new concept from the team behind Mírate (Los Feliz), stepping into the world of the margarita with both reverence and playful invention. The name “Daisy” nods to the etymological root of “margarita,” and the venue presents itself as a “gastro-cantina”: a space where cocktail artistry and refined Mexican cuisine intersect. Interior design embraces a vaquero / cowboy aesthetic: leather stools with fringe, corduroy booths, wood paneling, neon and Mexican art, taxidermy accents, and a custom jukebox (activated via drink tokens) The cocktail menu leans into creative riffs on the margarita: you’ll find Salsa Verde Margarita, Frozen Guacamole Margarita, mangoneada styles crowned with popping boba, and savory elements like charred tomatillo and green chile built into the margarita logic. Drinks are crafted with attention to balance — even classic styles are precisely dosed with saline instead of rim salt. The food menu supports the bar: small plates, seafood accents (aguachile, tostadas), branzino, tacos, lamb shank, and inventive takes on chicharrón. In addition, upstairs from the main bar is a speakeasy “Gilbert Pérez Bar,” focusing more on Mexican rum cocktails and tropical motifs, with more experimental equipment behind the scenes. The ambiance is lively yet warm — low-lit, textured, rustic but elevated. On weekends, Daisy draws a crowd, and reservations are recommended. Daisy is ambitious in its identity: equal parts homage to Mexican tradition, inventive cocktail atelier, and flirtation with theatrical drink design.
