The Spice Cellar


The Spice Cellar is a new lounge bar and club located in the basement level of the heritage Overseas Union Bank building located at 58 Elizabeth St  in downtown Sydney.                 
 Taking over the Wine Banc's old sunken cellar, the venue is ensconced 20 feet below street level in the trusty cocoon like surrounds of a bank basement. It realises a vision to deliver something wholly unique, yet distinctly international to Sydney's nightlife. Inspired by bars in New York and nightclubs in                  Berlin, the Spice Cellar is what you get when you cross the visions of a DJ, an event producer, a mixologist and restaurateur.                 
Murat Kilicis an international DJ, music producer who has been active in the entertainment industry for over 10yrs. He has successfully released music on various labels and regularly tours Europe, in particular Berlin, where he sights a large part of his inspiration for creating this venue.                 
His intimate connection with the city, in particular its arts culture, the music scene and of course the bars/clubs are considered to be the top destinations in the world.                 
Co-­‐owner Warren Faulkner is an event producer who has created prestigious events for the last 8 years such   as earth Hour & Rosemount Fashion week.                 
                   
 Together they have set  their sights on creating a unique and refined lounge bar and club (true to their name)  that combines European wines & spice infused  cocktails with underground cutting edge music in the distinct ambience  of a lounge room, somewhere you can be uninhibited and express yourself surrounded by like-­‐minded people.                 
                   
With Julien Serna (The Fern, Porteno, Hemmishere) designing the cocktail list, you can be assured of a blistering standard when it comes to your palate.
The Spice Cellar will bring all kinds of people on an international scale together for the same reason: their love of quality music and a discerning palate.
The venue will operate as a cocktail lounge Wednesday – Friday from 4 pm – midnight, and the club will operate Saturday 10pm til 10 am .
From the street you would hardly know it is there, but then that is why it is underground literally. Low ceilings and acoustic walls combined with a squeaky clean sound system, this venue will make it’s mark on Sydney this spring.
Officially opening October long weekend with an event that could last all weekend.
