Kings Cross venue World Bar reborn as Cali Club
Dane Gorrel and Matt Weir
Kings Cross nightclub World Bar has been given a new lease of life reopening as Cali Club.
Earlier this month, World Bar announced it was closing its doors, after nearly two decades of clubbing and live entertainment. However, hospitality duo Dane Gorrel and Matt Weir have now taken on the venue, having also recently reopened neighbouring institution Club 77 on William Street. They will spend the coming months getting a feel for the venue and area, before refreshing the space.
“We need to preserve our nightclub institutions,” said Gorrel. “They have a tremendous impact on Sydney’s culture, and once they go, it’s incredibly hard for them to return. We really want to help keep the candle burning for our city’s night life and continue the venue’s legacy.
“World Bar means a tremendous deal to a lot of people, so we like to think of Cali Club as just the next chapter in the venue’s colourful history. Cali Club is fun, young and all about having a great time, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back this week.”
