Deadwax, the latest venture from Dan Teh and Conor O’Brien of Otis fame, brings a bar experience where vinyl, contemporary tunes, and cocktails collide.
Paired with chef Daff Blacksmith’s late-night menu, this is a place to share music, hang with friends, and discover tracks you didn’t know you needed in your life.
The venue doubles down on its music-first ethos: a colossal vinyl collection curated with Crosstalk Records, DJ sets every weekend, and weekday request nights where you pick one record to play. From funk and soul to Tyler, the Creator and Taylor Swift, Deadwax spans decades and genres for everyone from hip-hop heads to 90s nostalgia junkies. The bar itself is a showstopper too, featuring a resin-coated, 70-layer denim-topped surface and acoustic treatments that let you chat without shouting.
