JAM Record Bar

Sydney, Australia
JAM Record Bar is a compact Tokyo-inspired record bar in Sydney’s Ivy Precinct, despite being listed as Melbourne in the original article. The room is designed to feel like sitting inside a giant speaker box, with warm pink materials, cork, insulation, and a vintage JBL system giving the place its character. It belongs in the directory because it is one of Australia’s more visible modern examples of the listening bar format: high-design, vinyl-forward, social, and more fun than reverent.
