Quay Bar
Quay Bar was a building situated next to the Bridgewater Canal basin in Castlefield, Manchester. It was designed by architects Stephenson Bell (now Stephenson:ISA Studio) for their client Wolverhampton & Dudley Brewery (better known as Banks).
Shortly after completion in 1998 the building won a number of awards, including an ''MSA Design Award'', ''RIBA Award'' and the ''Manchester Civic Society Award''. It was also shortlisted for the prestigious ''Stirling Prize''.〔(Manchester Confidential - Killing Castlefield )〕
With competing bars and restaurants opening closer to the city centre, particularly the popular Deansgate Locks, Quay Bar faced difficulties in attracting the same crowds it achieved when first opened. Following a spell of dubious management tactics, the bar closed in 2003. It was bought by Urban Splash who rebranded it as the rather short-lived Modo Clubroom,〔(Tom Bloxham interview )〕 and was subsequently let out on an occasional basis to Vietnamese military themed bar operator ''Canteena''.〔(BBC Manchester - Clubbing - Calling in the troops at Canteena )〕〔(Canteena returns - Clubs - Entertainment - Manchester Evening News )〕 The building became vacant in 2005, subsequently falling into disrepair. During 2006-07 it became notorious for its use by drug addicts, suffering a number of arson attacks and prompting calls for its demolition.
As of November 2007 the building has been demolished, due to its dilapidation and frequent vandalism.
