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.
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 “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.
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!
