I think this trend is coming to Europe. It certainly offers an evolved experience for a bar that serves great cocktails and drinks. The way these spaces are designed and curated is incredible – something you would never expect.
The new JAM Record Bar in Sydney is designed to look like a giant speaker.
Listening bars are becoming increasingly popular these days, and JAM Record Bar in Sydney captures this trend perfectly by creating the feeling of being inside a giant speaker.
Designed by Akin Atelier for Justin Hemmes, CEO of hospitality group Merivale, and his sister Bettina, JAM Record Bar is a nod to their family history. The name “Jam” comes from their parents, John and Merivale, and was also the name of a music label that Hemmes used to run. This unique bar is located on the corner of George Street in Sydney’s central business district.
Although the bar is compact, measuring only 18 square meters, it can comfortably seat up to 45 people.
The front of JAM Record Bar features large glass panels, a remnant of its past as a shop, allowing patrons to enjoy views of the street. The interior features a plywood sidebar and black metal chairs designed for people-watching. The bar’s music selection runs the gamut from funk and soul to ambient soundscapes and includes a regular lineup of DJs to enhance the listening experience.
