“Fresh off taking out Tequila Bar of the Year at the 2026 Australian Bar Awards, Sydney’s Cantina OK! has launched a new cocktail menu built around the idea that a drink can change a mood, trigger a memory or mark a moment. Called Potion, the new menu is available now at the Council Place tequila and mezcal bar, with three new cocktails joining Cantina OK!’s house classics.”

“Plus, a Scottish feast with Lennox Hastie, more Butterboy cookies for Sydney, Bloody Marys garnished with spice bags, and all the venues we’ve visited recently.”

“Sydney CBD Margarita and mezcal bar Cantina OK! has launched Potion, a new cocktail menu exploring how drinks can influence mood, evoke memories and mark occasions. Built around the idea of cocktails as everyday alchemy, the menu spans drinks designed for moments of nostalgia and celebration through to an end-of-day pick-me-up – built around three distinct cocktails.”

“Look, we’re suckers for anything secret or remotely hidden, especially when there are cocktails at the end of the rainbow. While most secluded speakeasies in Sydney/Eora are hardly a secret, some are well-hidden, which means they can be tricky to find, especially in the dark.”

“Sun-loving Sydney is known for its stunning, sky-high rooftop bars and seaside spots for wining and dining. But sometimes the finest watering holes can be found where you least expect. Sneak down a laneway or descend into a basement and you may just stumble across one of the city's hottest cocktail havens, or even a seriously cool new nightlife nook that stays open long after other spots have called last drinks.”
