Maz Salt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferdydurke
Salt first gained prominence for establishing Section 8 in 2006. The bar was built inside a shipping container relocated onto a disused Chinatown car park. The venue has since become one of Melbourne's prominent music venues, regularly hosting laneway festival shows.[1]
In 2012 he established two venues, the burger chain B.East in Brunswick East,[3] and a neighbouring venue to Section 8 named 'Ferdydurke', styled as a New York themed bar.[3][1] In 2015 he opened Belleville, a venue inspired by a visit to Paris. In 2019 he took over the license of the nightclub Lounge, re-opening it under the name Radar.[8] Other venues associated with Salt include Globe Alley, and Park Melbourne.[9]
In November 2021 Salt announced all but three of his venues would be permanently closed, primarily due to strains associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][5][1][2] His remaining venues are Section 8, Ferdydurke, and B.East.
Ferdydurke is another bar operated by Salt based in Melbourne, Australia.[10] The interior of the venue is themed after New York, and it was named for the polish novel. It opened in 2012, and neighbours Section 8 in Tattersall lane.
The venue hosted an event for the MEL&NYC festival in 2018.[11] It hosted a wedding on the night same sex marriage was legalised in 2018.[12]
