Newtown gets a Day of the Dead inspired Mexican cantina and Tequila bar (Sydney)

Brightly coloured décor, painted skeletons, and murals by a local graffiti artist will welcome anyone who steps into Newtown’s latest opening, a Mexican cantina and Tequila bar going by the name of Calaveras. The new venture from Gerardo Macip aims to deliver a traditional cantina straight to the heart of the inner-west hub, offering a fun and relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy authentic Mexican food and drink.

Over 50 Tequilas and Mezcals will be stocked at the bar, bringing a large range alongside classic Mexican cocktails and local favourites interpreted with a Tequila twist. For example, those heading along to the bar will find the Limoncello Margarita just as inviting as the Newtown Martini, which uses Young Henry’s Gin.

Dedicated to making everything fresh, from guacamole to lime-cured ceviche, Calaveras will be serving up Mexican food at it’s finest, and Head Chef Karen Darinka has ensured that the menu include everyone one would need for a great Mexican feast. This includes some gorgeously plated tacos like the Pulled Pork Al Pastor and the Spicy El Pollo.
