"Bachelor parties don’t need a theme. Texas tuxedos are played out, the 1998 Dream Team is dated, and Austin just doesn’t have the right weather for 10 guys dressed as Harry Potter. But if you feel strongly about a unifying idea, make it mezcal and start at Las Perlas. They have a huge selection, as well as tequila and plenty of beers for your friend who says that “mezcal tastes like bandaids.” And if you need something else to convince people to come here, Asador Tacos is located in the back with grilled tacos that will have you asking for extra tortillas to shove into your pockets for later." - adele hazan, raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
