Shipping Container Street Bar

Singha Beer have proudly brought the authentic taste of Thailand to East London, #SinghaStreet was trending and beers were flowing out of this refurbished, previously used, 20ft side opening shipping container.

Singha Beer, the original beer of Thailand, has launched a good number of Singha Street Bars this year and Budget Shipping Containers were proud to be supplying the container for their latest pop-up bar at Hackney Wick, London. Working with Wholehearted Ltd, a fantastic Creative Production Agency trailing a blaze as one of London’s most exciting new agencies, this was always going to be a one of a kind shipping container!

The Thai beer brand has set up the Singha Street Bar, running for 10 weeks, at Night Tales, a food and drink experience taking place in Hackney, London.

Visitors can head to the glittering deck with a vantage point, enjoy street food paired with a Singha Beer, or enjoy some snacks beneath a pagoda before heading to the dance floor.

The Singha Street Bar is open at Night Tales on Fridays from 5pm -11.30pm and on Saturdays from 2pm until 11.30pm. Night Tales opened its doors on 24th June and runs until the end of August.

As you can see from the pictures this is a side opening shipping container which offers full unobstructed access down one side. Budget Shipping Containers new 20ft side opening shipping containers are very popular with customers wanting quick and easy access to items stored. Often used for pallets, or for the storage of large and bulky items that won’t fit through the end doors of a shipping container.

A side opening shipping container ticked all of those boxes and, with our hiab delivery service as well, we got the container exactly where it was needed – albeit after a bit of too-ing and fro-ing and studying many photos and maps of the site with David Beverly (the chap in charge of Wholehearted’s operations)

These side opening shipping containers are becoming a more popular option and ‘starting block’ if you like for conversions into self contained mobile exhibition stands, cafes, bars, snack stands and even small retail outlets.
