Shipping Crates

A local brewery has recently added a restaurant. And they made it out of metal shipping crates! The owner drew up the design plans by stacking Jenga blocks!



Let's take a peek at some of the diners upstairs.


And here is the side, where some of the electric work is. The people who sold the crates even gave them free electric car chargers, so people can eat and drink while their car charges.
 On my next post, you will not believe what else shipping crates can make that is all the rage.

“Then she served it all up for Saul and his servants. After dining handsomely, they got up from the table and were on their way that same night.”
1 Samuel 28

What a clever, clever idea. That would be a fun place to enjoy a meal. Did you eat there? That is taking recycling one step beyond. Good for them. Now hopefully they have proper steps and people don’t have to climb a vertical ladder to get to the second floor, and yes I am laughing at the thought of me trying to do that at my age. I once climbed a Jacob’s ladder up the s side of a ship in my 20s.

I love it love it love it!!! have you eaten there? is this close to home for you? I have seen homes built from these crates but not a restaurant. seems there are thousands of them all over the word, to old to use for transport. they could even build housing for homeless or seniors. waiting for MORE

Interesting! It definitely is not a run-of-the-mill restaurant.

I like this idea of converting them into a restaurant.

Wow, I could never think of making restaurant with shipping crates! Such an unique and playful idea! Looks very pleasant upstairs with open concept :-)

It is a fun idea. I would hope it is engineered well to keep things all together. Our tornado country would take it out of there quickly. I really think it is a good looking idea.

That is a unique way to make good use of these.I wonder what the decor would be like on the inside.
