Such a cool atmosphere, the cocktails were amazing, we tried their weekly special and the spicy margaritas - both were delicious. Drinks are about $25 each but worth it. It isn’t very spacious (but thats the whole vibe) so if you are hard of hearing or claustrophobic probably not the best spot! Attached some pictures of the vibes you will get.

Awesome cozy standing bar, u huddle around and be offered amazing concoctions at reasonable prices. The place was such a mood where the bartenders are highly engaging and friendly while close proximity with other patrons would allow you to interact with others too.

Small, but perfectly formed, this is a great bar.. Knowledgeable staff, constantly changing menus , brilliant drinks , impeccable service , and given it about cocktails it surprising good value for money It is small so be prepared to queue if you come late , and there really isn’t seating, or its own bathroom.. but small quibbles aside. It’s fantastic

The best bar in Sydney. The staff really go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and have a good experience. The cocktails are delicious and the tequila is great. This is stop #1 when we come back to Sydney!

Such a neat (and tiny!) bar - standing room only! Great mezcal and tequila based drinks. They are known for their margaritas - I went with the spicy. Bar staff was very friendly and hospitable.

Honestly the coolest bar in Sydney. Happy hour $12 margarita is insane. The bongo cocktail was fire and service is fantastic. Drinks only but so worth a trip!

Our favorite bar we visited while in Sydney. The staff are top quality and paired with top quality drinks. Whether having a bad day, good day, or any type of day in between, you’ll leave feeling better (than ok!) :) love this place and cannot wait to return. Note: standing room only but that doesn’t stop you from having a great time. We had almost one of each drink on the menu and all were tasty.

When I say I have never been to a hole in the wall bar (In the best way possible) trust me I haven't experienced anything like Cantina OK. When I got there I thought I was at the wrong place because it is a tiny spot in an alleyway. I'm not making this up Once the guys told me that I made it to the right spot I was extremely happy to see what they had to offer. First of all, they are a tequila bar "My favorite" so the cocktails are all tequila based. I had a few of their specials, one tasting like tomato which was insane and then the house Margarita and a few others. I will NEVER forget my time at Cantina OK. The bartender gave me a postcard with a nice note on it to end my night. I absolutely love this bar

I try to be one of those people who doesn't fall for the hype, doesn't look at lists as the be all, end all of food and drinks but I'm not going to lie, I look at the lists and I try to visit a place if I'm in the place it's at. Cantina Ok! is clearly on one of these big lists. It doesn't help that my favorite liquor is mezcal either. I had to stop in. And oooooohhhhh I'm glad that I did. We pulled up around 455pm, 5 min before opening and were the only people there. They were just opening the garage door but they made sure to great us immediately (we weren't waiting near but they knew why we were there) and told us to come on in. The service here is impeccable. They ask your name and actually use it. They have actual conversations with you, about whatever topic lands. We got so much great visitor information from each person working. Ending up having one of the best meals in Melbourne because of it. The space is really small, standing room only. And if you're there long enough, you can see a line forming outside. After our second drink, we didn't want to take up more space so we decided to head out, but we never felt forced or like we should leave. I could come here after work everyday and have a Spicy Ok! I'm going to dream of that drink forever.

I popped in here an hour after it opened one Friday and was clad I kept up the search for this place. It is a little hard to find, but just look down the alley and there it is! I was super impressed by the friendly service and the fact that both bartenders took time to call my by name and talk to me. I also chatted with a lovely couple from Melbourne who passed on some food and drink recommendations for the next part of me trip. This will be on my list of must sees for anyone heading to Sydney.

Was recommended this bar by another bar tender in CBD. One of the coolest vibes I've experienced. Great drinks make sure to try the special. Worth the "hype" as the other reviews might say. Bar tenders will learn you name and make it part of their night to chat. Absolute hole in the wall which makes it better.

Specializes in tequila and mezcale drinks. They were so smooth and well balanced! The meringue one was like drinking a nice soda! The bar itself is tiny but was an awesome experience. Bar tenders super friendly and chatty!

Love everything about this place! As Americans, we are true margarita critics but the bartenders were able to really impress us! You will only find standing room and walk up service at this bar which is tucked away into an alley in the CBD of Sydney but don't let that discourage you. This is THE place for mezcal and I enjoyed watching the bartenders work their magic. Very experimental and playful cocktails with a true balance to the flavors and presentation. I would go here again and again

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.

amazing service. the bartenders were incredibly friendly and greeted us on arrival. introduced themselves and asked our names also. such a beautiful spot for groups under 3. the bartenders make conversation with you if you are alone which i think is amazing and super inviting. highly recommend

A nice stop and go tequila-based watering hole. Great drinks. A bit hidden, but that seems to be the theme of most awesome Sydney bars. A++ would drink here again.

Decent bar in CBD but it's quite hidden in an alleyway. They only have standing areas around the bar, and it was quite busy so was really cramped trying to fit a group of 7-8 inside, so don't come here expecting to sit down. I think this bar is known for their tequila shots but I went with one of their recommend beers. The beer I got was more malty than the ones that I usually drink, but had a nice rich flavor. Unfortunately I had a bit too much to drink before coming to this bar so it was a bit hard to stomach down all the alcohol.
