Cantina OK!

Sydney, Australia

No. 23 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2021; The World's 50 Best Bars 2024, No. 96 (51-100); and No. 41 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2022.

Three-time Tequila Bar of the Year in a standing-room space for about twenty guests, Cantina OK! operates on intensity rather than scale. The agave program runs deep, with a collection spanning artisanal mezcals and heritage tequilas that rival specialist bars in Oaxaca. The tight quarters force proximity between bartender and guest, creating a conversational intimacy that larger venues struggle to replicate. Cantina OK! proves that size and influence share no correlation.
