Expanding on Martin Place Bar’s philosophy of changing the face of mid-week dining, the addition of a ‘Luxe Spirits’ Pr ivate Back Bar adds a new dimension to the original MPB experience.

As the name suggests, the Private Back Bar occupies the rear of MPB’s Sydney address and is a collaboration between Martin Place Bar and renowned design group SJB Interiors.

“We have designed the back bar space as a separate area for pre-dinner drinks, bar dining, event location, private dining room and lounging – so it’s very versatile,” says Martin Place Bar owner Peter Wynne.
“While it’s a compact space, the look is very much downtown New York meets Sydney inner city style.”

Xorel fabric panelling now lines the walls behind the existing, luxurious leather banquette seats, and an Ici Et La feature wall light creates soft shades over the bar area. Reflective black glass and a stunning polished stainless steel shelf enhance the display of luxe spirits.

In addition to the new Private Back Bar, Martin Place Bar itself has undergone a series of renovations. Striking Gineico David Chipperfield chandelier lights create a moody ambience throughout the space, and the entrance now houses an impressive black steel custom-made wine rack.
