Walk from the corner of Market and Clarence streets in the Sydney CBD and you’ll come across Council Place: during the day it’s a typical Sydney alleyway, office workers puffing away on smoke break, skip bins awaiting collection — it’s unremarkable.
Until 5pm. That’s when the roller door goes up on a former single car garage, and some of Sydney’s most passionate mezcal and tequila advocates put down some very good drinking.
The first thing you’ll notice, from the street, are these glass mirrors on the front of the bar that glitter and catch your eye. The next thing you’ll notice is just how small Cantina OK! is. (And yes, the exclamation mark is theirs).
