Goodbye OK! Seltzer!
All good things must come to an end and we decided to say goodbye to OK! Seltzer.

Weird, fun, delicious, soulful venues for Sydney to love.’ A huge thanks to everyone who helped along the way!!

Bar Planet “Tarot” Menu Launch
Our 2024 Spring/Summer menu is for all of the Inner West mystics.
✨ Tarot ✨

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.
