Overview

Celebrating Dia de la Independencia in 2023 in Sydney means enjoying some of Mexico's best bars right here at home. Three watering holes that landed on the World's 50 Best Bars List for 2022 list, plus one that placed just outside the top 50 in the 100-bar longlist, are travelling to Paddington to descend on El Primo Sanchez and Oxford House for Mexican Independence Day.

On Saturday, September 16,  Limantour (number four on the World's 50 Best Bars List) will be taking over El Primo's main bar, while Brujas (number 64) will be popping up at the attached speakeasy La Prima. Both bars will be in charge of the festivities from 6–10pm.

The following day, you'll find number 13 Hanky Panky serving drinks poolside over at Oxford House alongside Baltra (number 32) from 1–6pm.

Expect all four bar teams to bring their signature flair and some of the drinks that have seen them listed among the best spots for a bev in the whole world.

The vibes are expected to be high, with dancing until late. Local party starter Discoteca Tropical will be in charge of the music at Oxford House on Sunday.
