The Yard sold $1 margaritas and street tacos for the first hour of the event from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., $3 margaritas from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., $2 street tacos until 9 p.m. provided by Acapulco Taqueria, and $7 Casamigos margaritas from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Landmark Bar & Kitchen has hosted the event for the past three years, but due to an electrical fire, the venue was changed to The Yard and Playground Neighborhood Bar, 3009 Morton St., an arcade and entertainment space connected to The Yard.
While there is much contention over who invented the famous drink, National Margarita Day was created by Todd McCalla, a Nashville real estate firm founder and partner and margarita lover.
