Consistent with its name, The Shipyard is a two-story structure that is mainly made of stacked-up shipping containers.

These shipping containers have been reconstructed to be the restaurant’s kitchen and places where customers can sit, eat, and chill. You can choose to either stay outside or inside an air-conditioned shipping container.

THE SHIPYARD'S KITCHENS. Can you imagine creating an entire kitchen inside a container van? Photo by Alecs Ongcal/Rappler

The Shipyard’s high ceiling, its lights and music, and its grand graffiti wall, easily attracts the attention of students, backpackers, travelers, or anyone who’s passing by. Their graffiti wall was made by a group of students from the University of the Philippines-Diliman.

The Shipyard calls itself a mini-food park, because there are only two food stalls you can choose from – Bernie’s Southern Fried and East London Kebab and Burgers.
