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.
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.
Goodbye OK! Seltzer!
All good things must come to an end and we decided to say goodbye to OK! Seltzer. It’s been an incredible 3 years but in the wise words of MUCHO Creative Director Jeremy Blackmore, ‘it’s time to concentrate on what we do best. Weird, fun, delicious, soulful venues for Sydney to love.’ A huge thanks to everyone who helped along the way!!

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.
Cantina OK! in Mexico
Our beloved Jax visited Mexico to source new mezcal for Cantina OK!
Bar Planet’s 2nd Birthday!
Bar Planet turned 2!! And we celebrated with a truly diabolical olive themed cake!
