Cantina OK!

Cantina OK! is a specialized 20-seat mezcal and tequila bar tucked into a narrow alley off Clarence Street in Sydney's CBD, featuring a rustic-chic aesthetic filled with rare spirits from Mexico. The intimate standing-room-only venue, lined with earthy-pink walls and pine cabinetry displaying bottles on nearly all sides, also houses an ornate Nepalese ice-carving machine and homebrewed liqueurs. Owned by Alex Dowd and Jeremy Blackmore, the team specializes in innovative margaritas and agave-spirit cocktails, with the signature Margarita OK! combining mezcal, tequila, lime, and cane sugar syrup served over hand-shaved ice. Tended by knowledgeable bartenders in white aprons, Cantina OK! has earned recognition as one of the world's best tequila and mezcal bars for its unparalleled selection of premium spirits.
