Stack Seaburn will have a case of aye, aye Captain this Friday (19 May) when visitors will be able to celebrate a new arrival – for free.

The Sunderland container village is about to unveil its latest offering – the new Captain Morgan’s bar. To celebrate its arrival, the first 200 people who visit the venue from 3 pm on Friday will get a celebratory Tiki Sunrise cocktail to try.

Captain Morgan’s bar will take over the space previously occupied by the Hop House on the upper plaza.

The offer – which is open to over 18s only – will showcase the rum available at the new bar. It will serve a range of cocktails and stock Captain Morgan’s rums, including their Tiki and Gold versions.

Captain Morgan is the UK’s most popular dark rum. Tania Woodhouse, Operations Director at STACK, believes it will be a great addition.

“We’re delighted to be working with Diageo – who own Captain Morgan – to create a very special cocktail bar at STACK,” said Tania.

“We know how many of our visitors love a cocktail. and We believe they’ll be very excited by the fantastic new menu that the bar will be offering.

“And of course, if they come along early enough on Friday, they’ll be able to try one for free.”

Charlotte Holland, Account Executive for Diageo in the North East is equally excited about the new venture.

‘We are delighted to be supporting the launch of the new Captain Morgan bar at STACK Seaburn,” she said.

“A lot of time has been committed to branding the new bar and it is a brilliant display of all things Captain Morgan.

“We at Captain Morgan have donated stock and designed the delicious drinks in the Cocktail giveaway. We hope everyone loves them as much as we do.”

Visitors this Friday can also enjoy a night of entertainment, with musician Lewis Curry performing from 4.15 pm. Followed by a performance by five-piece band, Sneaky Blinders at 7 pm.

The night will end with DJ Aaron Robson on the decks from 9 pm until 12.30 am.
