You would be pretty hard-pressed to find a beverage that can invoke the same kind of impassioned response as tequila. At the very mention of the word, facial muscles involuntarily contort as your mind hazily recalls memories of ‘that night’. Stingray bar is on a mission to change tequila’s reputation from a drink that is endured to one that is enjoyed by re-educating the general populace on the best way to drink tequila to appreciate the true flavour, sans shot glasses and salt.

Every Thursday, join tequila masters William Martin and Jordan Melling on a journey of discovery into the origins of the often-misunderstood swill, its production process and tips for tasting. Tequila flights start from $15 and include fine aged tequilas including Herradura Plata, Reposado and Anejo among the selections. And because you might need a little something to soak up the alcohol, enjoy $10 quesadillas. If you get a little carried away appreciating all of the different types of tequila, book a room at QT Gold Coast for the night or better yet, make a long weekend out of it and take advantage of the boutique hotel’s Not So Secret Sunday accommodation package. See our Stumble Guide for opening times.
