Bask Stockport

Bask Stockport

Located at Stockport Exchange (next to the train station) Bask has taken over the former Cafelito unit. Bask is a self described “speakeasy” which has live music at its heart. One of the owners Ben Taylor tells us “we chose Stockport because of the love for my hometown. That was the biggest pull for me. The future is looking so sharp for the area and we hope to be bringing something new and exciting to town”.

Bask will be multi faceted with different vibes throughout the day. Due to the proximity to the station they will be offering coffees, smoothies and more in the mornings. As the day goes on the atmosphere will change to a bar with a whole host of different activities and events planned. Mondays will be an acoustic night called Acoustica sponsored by Didsbury Gin and will host 3 artists every week. There will be comedy nights, spoken word sessions, Sunday music specials and DJ sets Thursday to Saturday.

We are really excited to see this new addition to the evening economy especially in a new area of town. The space itself is open airy and has been fitted out to make use of the large space! Whether you are looking for a casual drink, a cheeky cocktail after work, a night out, or a new gig venue – Bask has it all on offer.  

Opening June 4th – Find out more about Bask by clicking here.

Project 53 | Stockport’s New Gin, Beer & Pizza Palace

Project 53 | Stockport’s New Gin, Beer & Pizza Palace

Project 53 


Located amongst the bustle of Stockport Marketplace, Project 53 have managed to acquire a prime location next to the soon to be refurbished Produce Hall.

The Project 53 concept is a run off from a family brewery based in Mobberley. Their main aim is to sell high quality craft ales combined with local gins and stone baked pizza.

I mean pizza, gin, and beer, how could anybody be against that set up…

After having a lovely chat with manager Sophie, who had an incredible passion for Stockport, she told us how they really wanted the interior to match Stockport’s industrial vibe. The use of open brick, stone floors, recycled wood and low lighting really give a nod towards Stockport’s heritage.

All they are missing are a couple of hats… Maybe they will drop some in soon.

Sophie said of the renovations; “we wanted the decor to have an unfinished shabby style whilst everything we serve to be executed with overwhelming perfection”.

All we can say from our experience is that they have triumphed in what they set out to achieve.

The space truly matches the Old Town chic and the drinks and pizza were served with true care and attention.

The range of ales on offer would be enough to satisfy any beer connoisseur. It is great to see more locally brewed craft beer finding its way into Stockport. Importantly for some, we were made aware that many of the beers on offer are vegan friendly. It is of course great to see more establishments catering for a wider audience.

In regards to the gin, what can we say. The Project 53 team seem to have compiled a huge selection of locally sourced gins. We of course went for something pink and filled with fruit. It was prepared fantastically and we couldn’t fault it. If we have any gin fans amongst we would love to know what Project 53’s Parma Violet gin tastes like. Let us know!

Now to that stone baked pizza… 

At present their are 5 options to choose from. Ranging from a fantastic Pepperoni that includes Basil and Chilli Flakes to a Goats Cheese pizza that includes, Caramelised Onion, Spinach and Balsamic Vinegar.

We must admit the goats cheese pizza was one of the best we’ve ever eaten. The Stop in Stockport team recommends you give it try. Seriously though, try it.

Unfortunately there isn’t a vegan pizza on offer at the moment. Although, we have been assured that they are currently working on a vegan option which I have no doubt will be fantastic. We will keep you updated, you’ll know when we do.

We absolutely loved our trip to Project 53 and will be heading back to Stockport’s newest bar as soon as possible. As always it is great to see more and more places popping up and bringing more life into our town.

We highly recommend paying these guys a visit and sampling all they have to offer. We are sure you will have good time.
