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.
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.
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.

Bar Planet Mega Martini Launch! (Gotcha!!)

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!!
