The party minds behind beloved underground Sydney dance venue The Spice Cellar will take up residence at a new venue next month.
After Spice Group International (SGI) announced The Spice Cellar’s pending closure due to Sydney’s lockout laws, it’s now been confirmed that SGI will take over management of the Imperial Hotel in Erskineville from late April.
The new-look Imperial will play host to a range of entertainment, not just limited to dance music – it’ll also offer live bands, drag, burlesque and much more.
Spice’s Murat Kilic said in a statement, “We’ll adopt a patient staged approach. When we first go into the project, there won’t be any monumental changes, but more so refinements of product offerings, better sound systems and striking entertainment throughout the venue. We are keen to broaden the entertainment and F&B offerings immediately and very excited about working with the LGBTI and local communities to optimize the wonderful melting pot of diversity that is the Imperial Hotel Erskineville.”
The Spice Cellar’s regular program will continue until its Easter long weekend closing fiesta from Friday April 3 – Sunday April 5.
The Spice Cellar‘s first event at the Imperial Hotel will take place on Saturday April 18, when Mantra Collective and Spice present Alex Niggemann.
