Cantina OK, an offshoot of Tio's, is located at the end of a laneway and was, literally, a single car garage. Yep, it's really that small. The bar takes up almost have the space, the rest is standing room and there is no outdoor seating. Not a place for a drawn out session, more a margarita mercy dash. And on the topic of margaritas, these ones are very good. You get the added theatre of a large block of ice being shaved to fill the glass before the margarita mixture is poured over the top. They make 100's each night. Delicious.
While that's all well and good, this place is really a mecca for all things mezcal, tequila's smokier, more interesting cousin. The guys go to Mexico each year and spend weeks sampling and curating a selection to bring back to Australia for your tasting pleasure. I don't think there is another bar in Australia with such a commitment to agave. Unfortunately good quality mezcal is not cheap, but you should definitely give it a go. The staff know their stuff, and can help you with your choice.
