Salt Market Social
Street-food and events warehouse on the Fish Quay with rotating traders, bars and live events.
About Salt Market Social
Salt Market Social fills the big Blue Warehouse, a converted quayside building on Liddell Street, with a rotating line-up of street-food traders, bars and events. It brings a large, industrial-feeling social space to the Fish Quay, good for groups and families alike.
The format means the food offer changes regularly, and the calendar takes in live music, markets and one-off events through the year. It has quickly become one of the anchors of the Quay's food-and-drink scene and a reliable rainy-day option.
