Join us to help raise funds for Lifeline this National Suicide Prevention Week
Suicide remains the leading cause of death among people aged 15–44 in Australia. It’s a tough topic, but we need to talk about it. Join us this week to help raise much needed funds for Lifeline. Between September 8-14 we’ll be donating $1 from every special across our venues to Lifeline, helping support the 24/7 crisis support line for all Australians.
Bar Planet is the World's Dirtiest Martini Bar
For one night only, Bar Planet becomes the World’s Dirtiest Martini Bar. Sydneysiders will be able to create the dirty martini of their dreams with the addition of a few extra-filthy garnishes. Take Bar Planet's mantra of the ‘Martini How You Like It’ to a whole other level! Think of it as the Inner West version of mastering your Subway order. Dirty. Dry. Never Never Oyster Shell Gin. With a Pickled Onion and a Chilli-Stuffed Olive. Delicious.
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.
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.
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.
Bar Planet New Menu: BFFs
Three new cocktails, all starring ingredients from three local favourites.
With a little help from our BFFs at AP Bakery, Goldstreet Dairy and Rooftop Bees, we’ve created a Hot Honey and Gentian aperitif, a Rhubarb and Whey spritz, and buttery Baguette sour.
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!
Bar Planet x Hendricks Hot Air Balloon Adventure
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.
Bar Planet x Messina Guinness Scorpino Collaboration
When Messina offers you Guinness gelato, you create a Guinness Scorpino. This one was in celebration of St Patrick’s Day.
Split the atom G together!
Bar Planet 50 Best Discovery

Bar Planet x Tim Blackwell
Australian media legend and Bar Planet merch-wearer Tim Blackwell teamed up with us to create a weekly Scorpino inspired by his iconic interview with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in 2002 with the launch of Nova Perth.
Date With Tait at MUCHO!
The wonderful Tait McGregor visited 3 MUCHO venues on her quest for love, and brought along a few familiar faces. We were honoured to host Benee at Bar Planet, Wallows at Tio’s and Caleb from Spacey Jane at Centro 86 on their dates with Tait!
Bar Planet x Annie Hamilton Merch
Annie Hamilton popped by Bar Planet to create a Scorpino celebrating her new album ‘Stop and Smell the Lightning’. She also customised some of our merch that we gave away to one lucky winner!
Bar Planet “Tarot” Menu Launch
Our 2024 Spring/Summer menu is for all of the Inner West mystics.
✨ Tarot ✨
We took three iconic tarot cards, painted them with the Bar Planet brush, enlisted the help of the freshest of produce, and ended up with a delicious menu of seasonal symbolism.
Bar Planet Martini Mondays Launch
Nothing like the prospect of a $12 Bar Planet Martini to get you through the Monday blues!
Bar Planet x Froomes
Listen up, dear and valued associates. This week we have incredible news. It is truly our honour at Bar Planet to announce our latest quality of life initiative:
The Froomesworld Scorpino™ 👽
Sour Apple Sorbet, Vodka, a Raspberry Gel drizzle and Prosecco - consider this a Jolly Rancher super smasher from the outskirts of yonder itself.
In life, people often set their sights on major ambitions like starting a family and getting a mortgage in Erskineville, hitting 'Checkout' on SSENSE without crippling post-purchase guilt, successfully parallel parking in front of everyone at Soulmate on a Saturday morning, or even just paying off that thicc HECs sausage. Well, for us, this one is at the absolute TOP of our list. Inter-planetary alignment with AN ICON.
Bar Planet “I Want To Believe” Merch Launch
Congratulations, you have finally uncovered the truth.
The “I Want To Believe” Olive Shirt was inspired by some fellow UFO-obsessed brethren. I love you Agent Mulder and Scully.
Bar Planet “UFO” One of Ones Merch
Tom DeLonge was right and we were wrong all along (leave a 🖖 in the chat)
We’ve been deep in the UFO-conspiracy-hole getting lobotomised by the internet, and we decided to make a limited run of fried merch to mark the occasion. In fact, it’s so fried we decided each shirt should only be printed once.
Please don’t beam me up, I’m scared of heights.
Bar Planet’s 2nd Birthday!
Bar Planet turned 2!! And we celebrated with a truly diabolical olive themed cake!
Bar Planet x Pseushi Merch in Heartbreak High!
We’ve made it to Netflix. Shoutout to the Bar Planet x Pseushi collab shirt for starring in season two of Heartbreak High! Are we officially Gen Z now?
