Cantina OK!

Cantina OK! is the kind of place you'd rave about to anyone who appreciates a good drink and an unforgettable experience. Tucked away in the bustling streets of Sydney's CBD, this tiny mezcal bar is a vibrant explosion of color and flavor. Once a lone car-parking spot, the bar's intimate setting invites about 20 guests to stand shoulder-to-shoulder, immersing themselves in the world of mezcal. With its pink, violet, and wood-toned decor and shelves brimming with mezcal sourced from small family producers, it's a haven for agave aficionados. The real showstopper? A bold canary yellow Nepalese ice carving machine that chills your drink just right.

The bar's lifeblood is its unparalleled selection of agave spirits, making it a staple on The World’s 50 Best Bars list. The cocktails here are nothing short of art, with seasonal specials and collaborations with top venues offering a fresh twist on traditional flavors. While the focus is firmly on mezcal, the friendly and knowledgeable bar staff are ready to guide you through the nuanced profiles of each spirit, turning a simple drink into an enlightening experience.
