Become a Founding Member

Welcome to the beginning of something truly special.

For the Ones Who Feel Music, Not Just Hear It.

Black Wax Social is where music, atmosphere, and connection converge.
More than a bar - it’s a movement to create Winnipeg’s first Social HiFi whiskey lounge and listening room: a space for those who believe that great sound, thoughtful design, and great company can elevate everyday life.

Let’s build it together - with people who care about culture, craft, and sound.
The ones who know that great music deserves a great room, and want to be part of our story from day one.

Your contribution is a founding-level membership that helps bring this experience to life.
In return, you’ll receive lifelong recognition, early access, and invitations to private events
available only to the Founders Circle.

This is a rare opportunity to shape something truly new for Winnipeg’s music and social scene -
a venue rooted in community, creativity, and craftsmanship.

Why membership funding?
We are building a culture space — not just a bar. Our founders aren't just supporters; they are part of our origin story and community.
