MUCHO Tequila Trail
Who doesn’t love free tequila?!
World Tequila Day is July 24, and we’re celebrating it all week with Sydney’s free & first ever Tequila Trail!
To celebrate, we’re inviting you all to join the trail as we pour tequila on the house at Centro 86, Cantina OK! and Tio’s.
The trail features a trio of Herradura tequilas to try: Herradura Plata Tequila at Cantina OK!, Herradura Reposado Tequila at Tio’s, and Herradura Añejo Tequila at Centro 86.
Boothby Drinks 100 Australia List!
Bri, Daisy & Jeremy were nominated on the Drinks 100 Australia list, being recognised as the top 100 people shaping drinks and culture for 2025! We’re super proud to see so many of our team being recognised for the work they’re putting in, day in, day out!
Cantina OK! x The Calile
Jordan and Jax visited Queensland with a takeover shift at The Calile!
Bar Planet x Milly Dent
Inspired by the coastal and oceanic swirls in her work, this drink is not only delicious, but also a treat for the eyes.
Tio’s Hot Sauce Festival Adventure
The HQ team ventured out to Sydney’s Superhot Chilli & BBQ Fest to taste some of the country’s spiciest hot sauces and bring some back to Tio’s! (We survived, but at what cost…)
Bar Planet’s x Saddle Club
Saddle Club is a wonderful local innerwest, weekly line-dancing, bootscooting club. There’s nothing straight bout em! Or our glittery cherry scorpino collab! Glitter for everyone.
Cantina OK! x Bar Glue
Tequila, Mezcal, Lime, Dulse, Coconut, Strawberry, Beetroot
Chris’ Special, in collaboration with Liverpool’s finest, Bar Glue. Bright red with a Dulse and Coconut Sorbet.
Bar Planet’s 3rd Birthday
What a night!!
An absolutely endless thank you to Onnie O’Leary for running a pop-up BP tattoo parlour in the bar!
Many Dirtini martinis were consumed. Many olives were tattooed. I hope you had a slice of the Freddo Frog Ice Cream Cake. Those things are elite. So much nostalgia.
Tio’s Hollywood Quarter LA Takeover
The East LA Chia and Cucumber Marg. Tequila, Lime, Cucumber and Chia. A boozy take on the cucumber and chia fresca Cali street vendors serve in summer.
As part of the Hollywood Quarter’s LA Takeover, we also had a special Boyle Heights 7 Spice Guacamole available!
We’re proud to announce our brand new venue: Herbs Taverne!
We opened a Negroni bar!! Conveniently located right next to Cantina OK!, Herbs Taverne is dedicated to the strange joy of bitter drinks, featuring a curated selection of the most delicious, iconic and rare amaros from around the world, celebrating aperitif and digestif culture.
Mid-Century Euro in influence, yet universally inspired, it’s a bar for deep discussion, drinking and dancing! Herbs is a bar that gives you permission to celebrate.
Herbs is designed for maximum 'Ahh..’., before dinner, after dinner, or instead of dinner.
Everybody Herbs Sometimes!

Our weekly opportunity to sip extra-rare tequila at an extra-special price, starting from $13 a glass!
Come sample extraordinary & delicious tequila with us every Wednesday at Centro 86.
Centro 86 New Menu: Viendo Doble
Three new additions to our Seasonal Cocteles. A trio of classics through the Centro 86 lens. A look at how different parts of the world look toward the same flavours and ingredients.
An exploration of smokiness via our Mezcal and Whisky Old Fashioned. An ode to mango through a fluffy Fizz. A show of love to the stone fruit at the heart of Sydney’s favourite cocktail right now, the Amaretto Sour.
Cantina OK! New Menu: Ritual
Sour OK! Nevada OK! Whip OK!
An ode to little rituals, on Council Place and beyond.
Bar Planet New Menu: BFFs
Three new cocktails, all starring ingredients from three local favourites.

Cantina OK! x Smoke & Bitters Takeover
Tequila, Mezcal, Iramusu, Lime, Pineapple, Silvertip Bitters.

Bar Planet Mega Martini Launch! (Gotcha!!)
Continuing the MUCHO tradition of mega-fying cocktails, we launched the Mega Martini at Bar Planet! Alas, this one was an April Fools joke but you can get your hands on a real Mega Margs at Tio’s and a Grande Spicy Marg at Centro 86!
Cantina OK! x Evi O
We collaborated with self-taught artist, designer, author, and publisher Evi O, the creative force behind beloved Sydney design studio, Evi-O.Studio.
Evi’s practice explores the concepts of optimism, joy, and metamorphosis in the world we live in, often expressed through her use of colour and abstraction, in both 2 & 3 dimensional forms. For this special we ran her iconic pastel piece, ‘A Laissez-faire Attitude’, through the liquid Cantina OK! lens.

Sienna and Kate travelled down to Australia’s majestic capital city of Canberra to break (or set?) the record for the World’s Highest Porron Pour from above the clouds in Hendricks Gin’s magnificent hot air balloon.
