Bar SAM to stage first 2025 opening on 28 March 2025.

Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) is pleased to partner with Elsewhere at SAM to open the bar and terrace located on Level 4 of the SAM building. Bar SAM will be open on select Friday evenings throughout 2025, with upcoming dates announced each month through the SAM and Elsewhere at SAM social media channels and websites.

From 5.30pm on Friday 28 March, patrons are invited to enjoy drinks and a light food menu at Bar SAM whilst overlooking spectacular sunset views over Lake Victoria. The architectural space, designed by Denton Corker Marshall, presents an elevated interior experience that stands apart in the Shepparton landscape. No entry fee will be charged to patrons, and no bookings of the space will be available. The venue is strictly open to patrons aged 18 years and over, and welcomes walk-ins only.

Gabriella Calandro, SAM Head of Engagement, says of the new experience:

“We’re thrilled to be introducing Bar SAM to our community this month. The regular opening of our Level 4 bar to the public has been highly anticipated since 2021, and we’re excited to give people a new experience to enjoy as part of our region’s hospitality scene. Bar SAM offers a new way of engaging with the museum, and we are excited to team up with our friends, Elsewhere at SAM, to make this a great after-hours museum experience.”

Bar SAM will be open to the public on Friday 28 March from 5.30pm to 8.00pm. Information on the upcoming dates for Bar SAM can be found on the SAM website and social media channels: https://sheppartonartmuseum.com.au/your-visit/bar-sam/
