Nestled at the end of Council Place off Clarence Street, Cantina OK! is a micro‑mezcal shrine that transforms a former car‑parking garage into one of Sydney’s most dynamic cocktail experiences. Seating just ~20 patrons in a standing‑room‑only layout, this mezcal bar thrives on its passion for agave: bartenders import rare, hand‑sourced tequilas and mezcals from Mexico, each bottle a chapter in their travelogue of hospitality and discovery. The design is earthy‑pink and pine‑lined, with handmade ceramics, handmade woodwork, and even a Nepalese shaved‑ice machine—all tucked beneath mirrors that glint at street‑level to catch your eye. Drop‑in agility is at this bar’s core: no booking, no seats—just lean in and chat mezcal, or let the team surprise you with rotating specials like their bartender‑featured "Bath Bomb" Oaxaca mezcal cocktail or margarita riffs. Despite its pint‑size footprint, Cantina OK! has risen to international acclaim, ranking in the World’s 50 Best Bars list and consistently praised for its creative cocktails (avg. $16 each), warm hospitality, and boundary‑pushing approach to agave spirits. Pop in for world-class margaritas, mezcal flights, and an atmosphere that’s as cosy as it is electric—from 4 pm daily into the early hours.
