The Yardie Crackhouse, located on Holywell Street, is the smaller of the two Yardie Crackhouses and is owned by Jamahl and the Yardies. The other larger Yardie Crackhouse is located on Rivington Street. There is a compound just out the back of this warehouse which is also owned by the Yardies. This particular Crackhouse is first seen in a cutscene of Mission 5, Taxi for Mr Chai?. Jake Jolson wants Mark Hammond to go and drop off the dead body of the Triad, Johnny Chai, outside the Siu Fung Restaurant in Chinatown which is owned by them. This will anger the Triads so they will chase after Mark and try to kill him. Jake tells Mark to lure them over to this compound by the Crackhouse and says that he and some of the boys will be there to help him massacre the Triads. Mark believes him but doesn't realise that this compound is actually part of the Yardie Crackhouse which is owned by the Yardies. Mark does this job, and lures the Triads over to the compound where a gang war erupts between the two gangs. This happens in Mission 6, Out of the Frying Pan.


Mark kills all the Yardies inside the Crackhouse and gets a hold of the money, as seen in the opening cutscene of Mission 10, A Cat in a Bag. It turns out there is 300 grand total, and Mark stashes the cash in the back of a Nissan Skyline parked outside the Crackhouse. He then leaves and tells Liam Spencer to collect the cash for him while Mark goes and deals with the Jolson's at the depot in Kingscross. Jamahl later returns to this Crackhouse, to find his money stolen and all of his men that were there dead. He then gets a call from Charlie, who tells him he has captured Mark Hammond, the man responsible for killing his men and stealing his money, and offers to hand Mark over to him. Jamahl is pleased by this and agrees to meet Charlie at the Sol Vita boat so he can have his revenge. This is seen in the opening cutscene of Mission 11, The Prodigal Son. This is the last time this Crackhouse is seen. Due to Jamahl surviving the events of The Getaway, it is likely that he and his gang returned to this Crackhouse with his gang and continued to use it as a hideout. However, although the Crackhouse can be seen in The Getaway: Black Mondayand looks the same as it once was, it is never actually mentioned or visited in the storyline of the game. In Free Roaming mode in The Getaway, it is possible to go around the back of the Crackhouse but not possible to actually enter it. In Free Roaming mode in The Getaway: Black Monday, it is not possible to even go around the back of it, you can only see it from outside the front of it.
