Worth a shot: a round-up of Canberra’s tequila bars
Posted on
Raise the bar, and sip on a spirit at one of these sophisticated Canberra tequila bars, offering good vibes, and even better drinks.
Loquita
Touting themselves as Canberra’s home of tequila and awesome tacos, Loquita boasts some amazing tequilas and mouthwatering cocktails. It was recently named in the top ten Tequila bars in Australia according to Australian Bartender!
If you’re a thrill seeker and keen to spice up your evening out with mates why not try their Hot Shot – it contains 1800 coconut tequila infused with Carolina Reaper chillies and is so spicy you must sign a waiver before ordering.

Cabo
Tequila reigns supreme at Cabo. From margarita masterclasses to endless pours of sangria, you’re guaranteed to have a good time with friends. Like their friends at nearby Loquita, Cabo was also named in Australian Bartender’s top ten Tequila bars in Australia.
The aesthetic bar lends itself to a cute Insta snap, while the menu offers flavoursome tacos, as well as corn chips and salsa for optimal snacking.
If the main bar isn’t your vibe, grab a cosy table in the corner, or gaze out into the city nightlife with a main view overlooking the hustle and bustle of Northbourne.

Cartel
If you haven’t heard of Cartel’s Tacos, where have you been? This Queanbeyan staple is packed on weekends across lunch and dinner, gaining immense popularity for its large jam-packed tacos. Its lakeside location makes it an ideal spot for the warmer months.
