The Printworks Cocktail Bar & Lounge, Seaham re-opens

The Printworks Cocktail Bar and Lounge on Stockton Road in Seaham re-opened on January 19 under a new name and ownership as it rebrands into a upmarket cocktail bar.

Formerly known as The Ranch Meat House before its closure earlier this month, the site's main building has been sold and the side extension has undergone a small renovation.

The new menu includes 45 different cocktails, draught beer, wines and spirits as director Adam Thompson hopes the dog-friendly bar will offer "something for everyone". 

Ahead of the opening, he said: "We are hoping to hire acoustic singers and make the live music quite low-key and use as many local artists as possible.

"In terms of what we're doing now, we're putting our own touch on things. New draught beers, a new range of spirits and over 45 cocktails on the menu."

Inside, the space has been transformed to include plush seating, soft lighting and the venue is available to book out for events.

Since the launch day, Adam and fellow owners have said they have experienced a wave of custom as they hope 

Here's a glimpse of what the venue now looks like inside.
