Looking for the best tequila and mezcal bars in Sydney?
While iconic venues like Cantina OK!, Tio’s Cerveceria, and El Primo Sanchez have helped fuel the agave boom, there’s one destination that elevates the experience:
Sonora in Potts Point.
Here, you won’t just sip mezcal — you’ll taste the spirit of Sonora, Mexico, reimagined with seasonal Australian ingredients, house-grown herbs, and chef-driven dishes.
What Sets Sonora Apart From Other Mezcal Bars in Sydney?
Sydney’s mezcal scene is growing fast. According to Broadsheet’s guide, venues like Cantina OK! and Tio’s Cerveceria offer unbeatable energy and rare spirits. But at Sonora, the mezcal isn’t an add-on — it’s central to the entire experience.
✅ Full-service dining with agave pairings
Enjoy mezcal not just as a shot or cocktail but as part of a curated tasting menu, paired with dishes like yellowfin tuna ceviche, garden greens, and housemade tortillas.
✅ Upscale, intimate setting
While other mezcal spots offer party vibes, Sonora is built for connection — with low lighting, courtyard seating, and expert guidance from a trained team.
✅ Chef-driven, garden-to-table Mexican
From fast-growing herbs picked daily to Australian seafood with Mexican spice rubs, our food is inspired by Mexico but rooted in Potts Point.
Explore the Sonora menu for yourself.
