Crystal Bar, GPO Sydney - Sydney
Descend the granite and steel staircase and enter through a hidden sandstone tunnel with vaulted ceiling where you'll discover a space that's all sandstone walls, padded leather nooks, thick columns and modern, halo-shaped chandeliers with crystals.
Crystal Bar in the bowels of the former GPO in Martin Place is tasteful and elegant, with a glitzy pink bar backdrop, gold gauze curtains and subtle Crystal haloes suspended from the ceiling. Rough-hewn sandstone walls and original mailroom tiling add a masculine touch, as to the plush leather banquettes and cool red lighting. Simple, stylish, understated.
The venue's Cabaret/Burlesque, Crystal Boudoir Show every Saturday night, billed as evoking classic vintage glamour in the style of 1920s Paris, the Crystal Boudoir Show is like performance art, and a little dream sequence. There are a lot of stilettos while a contortionist in a Crystal black cat suit pokes her sinuous leg up and over her head, a touch of vaudeville that leaves the audience gobsmacked. Between acts, a saxophonist plays a seductive groove, the perfect accompaniment to the killer cocktails. There's also plenty of vodka on hand and all the bottles are positioned in a specially designed ice trough, which allows the alcohol to be chilled to exactly the right temperature while still remaining on display.
