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 Maison Balzac Collaboration!
Cantina OK! launches a collaborative Weekly Special cocktail with Australian brand, Maison Balzac, to celebrate their iconic Chilli Gobelets! Try the Spicy Watermelon Margarita before it’s gone, or learn how to make one at home below!
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!
Cantina OK! x Ken Done
It was an honour to collaborate with Australian legend Ken Done to create a drink at Cantina OK! inspired by his monumentally iconic art style. We visited Ken in his studio in The Rocks and chatted about his time in Mexico while he doodled on some Cantina coasters.
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.
Centro 86 “Entrar a la Plaza” Menu Launch
Toreador. Matador. Picador. Three historic cocktails brought into the year 2024.
Before the Margarita existed, there was a whole genre of early tequila cocktails.
All three of these seasonal creations harken back to recipes from 1937’s ‘Cafe Royale Cocktail Book’, reimagined through the lens of what we can do in 2024 that we couldn’t before.
How can we revisit classic combinations with an emphasis on a wider, more international pantry, modern techniques and a focus on the freshest ingredients?
Cantina OK! “Zoo” Menu Launch
Jumbo OK! Bongo OK! Agro OK!
Three drinks inspired by our favourite megafauna. There are no more charismatic animals on earth than the hippo, the elephant and the croc.
An idea born from the making of our very own croc pechuga, a literal distillation of crocodile spirit found in the Agro OK!.
Find your spirit animal.
Cantina OK! x Messina
We teamed up with your favourite gelateria for the greatest spicy marg Sydney has ever seen, alongside an exclusive weekly gelato flavour!
Cantina OK! x Kenney
Kenney returned for one night and one night only and created the weekly special of our dreams!
Centro 86 Happy Hour Launch
Did someone say $12 spicy margs and $7 beers? Every day from 4pm-6pm at Centro 86!
Tio’s World’s Spiciest Marg
You can now add Da Bomb to your Spicy Marg at Tio’s! 🥵🌶️
If our Level 5 spiciest margarita wasn’t spicy enough for you, we’ve now added a whole new selection of hot sauces to the roster to ensure any Scoville-lovers can really knock their socks off. You can even add the infamous Da Bomb, as seen on ‘Hot Ones’.
Cantina OK! x Tlecan
Our friends at Tlecan over in Mexico City sent over the recipe for their coveted Manzano-Grapefruit Jam that we used as the base of a delicious weekly special!
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.
Cantina OK! x Mick Molloy
With this week’s special we are honouring mullet connoisseur and Cantina OK! fan Mick Molloy with his very own Coconut Margarita.
Making things extra-special is the edible wafer that will be served with each drink, emblazoned with Mick’s noggin sporting a mullet not too dissimilar to that of our very own Storm Evans.
Thanks to the Triple M Breakfast crew for heading down to Cantina OK! to try the drink and for all the love they’ve shown the bar on air.
Tio’s Mega Marg Launch
Introducing our Mega Margarita. It's like our classic marg, but bigger. Way bigger. Four times as big to be exact. It's as big as your head! 🫢
Bar Planet UFO Menu Launch
Unexpected Flavour Objects explores the weird and whimsical universe of flavour at Bar Planet with the addition of the Martian, Brainwave and Roswell discoveries to the menu. We’ve gone extra, EXTRA terrestrial, like the parallel universe where Italians sip on margaritas in the plaza. Edges of reality.
Bitter-spicy aperitifs, creamy-dreamy citrus, sour-and-twisted cola conspiracies. Drinks inspired by Ancient Aliens, Lizard People, dystopian commercial farms growing fruit and veges underneath the city, and the elusive Ingredient X!
Bar Planet Skyscrapers
The perfect amount of olives in your martini.
Cantina OK! x Funskull
A truly fun collaboration with one of our favourite artists and a dear friend of OK!
