@merivale will open the doors to its latest venue, @jamrecordbar this Friday, a passion project for Merivale CEO Justin Hemmes and his sister Bettina. Merivale describes the venue as a "little yet loud bar", housing a collection of 15,000 vinyl records with interiors that nod to the listening bars of Tokyo but with a twist. JAM Record Bar will serve up Japanese-inspired snacks by sushi e Head Chef, Michael Fox and cocktails by Merivale’s Creative Cocktail Lead, James Irvine. James’ cocktail list goes big on Highball, Old-Fashioned and Margarita, and to match with the food’s Japanese theme there is also sake on offer, as well as fizz, pink, red, white, and orange wines, from here and abroad.
