Eastern Suburbs' new multipurpose venue
The former site of Kong’s Tiki bar and BJ’s nightclub in Bondi Junction has recently been transformed into two new, joint venues – Jam Gallery and Spring Street Social.
Both venues are owned by Peter Wright, a former pharmacist and truffle farmer, who over a six month period has transformed the space into a multipurpose site, with Jam Gallery designed to cater for live music acts, and Spring Street Social offering punters casual dining and drinks.
Jam Gallery is a custom built, underground venue spanning 700m2 with capacity for up to 400 people and the ability to be transformed to cater to all types of events.
It features three separate bars and stages, as well as a full commercial kitchen, and boasts a state of the art sound system.
Spring Street Social (pictured) is a small bar and restaurant, discreetly located beneath street level, which draws its inspiration from the chemists and apothecaries of yesteryear.
A custom designed bar built from vintage bricks serves up an array of craft brews, and bespoke cocktails crafted from fresh ingredients, infusions, teas and top shelf spirits.
The wine list features a selection of Australian and New Zealand drops, while the food menu combines fresh produce and simple comfort food in share style plates.
