JAM Record Bar is a salmon pink vinyl bar from Merivale, inspired by the listening rooms of Tokyo
While Merivale might make you think of wood-fired bread at Totti’s, caviar tarts at Mimi’s, or late-night pitas at Jimmy’s Falafel, the through-line of the group is an atmosphere and environment curated by Head of Music & Nightlife (new dream job unlocked) Nick van Tiel. For JAM Record Bar, he’s amassed a collection of 15,000 vinyl records.
Sushi e chef Michael Fox has crafted a snack-y menu with Japanese-inspired nibbles, like chicken, Murray cod or zucchini skewers, a Fillet-o-Fish spring roll, and a fried prawn sando with lettuce and yuzu kosho tartare.
Cocktails by James Irvine also draw from Japanese flavours and ingredients, with a koji Old Fashioned (Maker’s Mark, koji caramel and bitters) or togarashi margarita (Codigo Rosa, habanero agave, lime and togarashi salt) alongside a neat list with local and Japanese beers, saké and a few wines.
With just 40 seats and a walk-in-only policy, JAM Record Bar is set to be a sought-after spot for a night out in the Sydney CBD.
Merivale’s other upcoming venue, Good Luck Restaurant Lounge, opens on Wednesday 24 April

Bar Demo
Bar Demo is a late-night vinyl bar in Newtown, designed for lovers of a well-crafted drink without the fuss. Owners Claudia Morgan and Olly Churcher (Ex-Double Deuce Lounge) are bartenders by trade, so there’s faith to be had in their curated 60-bottle wine list and seasonally crafted cocktails. The venue itself has grown from their joint experiences working and sipping in some of Sydney’s best bars—Morgan says “we wanted somewhere open late where we could buy a bottle without sitting down for a meal, sink some martinis, listen to some interesting music or have a dance”. Bar Demo certainly checks all of the boxes: open 5pm—midnight, Wednesday—Saturday, with no full kitchen but a dedicated menu for snacks, and a soundtrack of full albums played on vinyl, with each night featuring a curated selection of tunes.
Ette Sydney
Ette is a swish Sydney CBD restaurant and bar that's all about affordable, fast and fuss-free fine dining with an ever-changing menu.
