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.
