Inspired by the classic cantinas of Mexico the bar pushes the perception of what a margarita can be.The 100 strong tequila selection is fuelled by trips to the source in Mexico and includes agave spirits from around the world. We’ve pushed our connections to get our hands on some truly special, rare bottles. Layered Latin cantina classic drinks, filtered through the infamous MUCHO lens, shaped by Cantina OK! and Bar Planet. Precise, fresh fruit-driven, fun and chaotic. Ice-cold glasses, hand pressed lime juice, ice shaved-to-order, and a thoughtful use of the modern Sydney pantry. Our menu is designed to feel familiar and fresh at the same time.
