I went to the new Stack in Newcastle and was amazed for one key reason

Boasting eight bars and as many food vendors - including one which is appearing in the North East for the first time - Stack’s newest site in Newcastle is a step forward for the brand in the North East.

The group closed the doors to its first Newcastle spot back in 2022 but returned to Pilgrim Street in the city centre on Tuesday, December 2.

Now the third continuously open North East site after Stacks at St James Park and Seaburn in Sunderland, the new option stands out in an amazing way.

Rather than taking vacant land, the new site looks to revitalise the Worswick Chambers on the corner of Pilgrim Street and Worswick Street to turn a Stack into something we haven’t seen in the North East before.

Entering through the listed building, the main stack visuals we know and love are still prominent, as are the street food vendors and stage setup in a rear courtyard area, but the star of the show comes from how the team have been able to combine the two into a do-it-all entertainment venue, the likes of which have not been seen from the brand locally.

In addition to the regular street food and bars, which run over a towering three floors, the venue hosts an indoor cocktail bar with views up Northumberland Street as well as Sideshow on another floor in the old building, offering revellers the chance to enjoy shuffleboard, darts and karaoke - another first for Stack North East sites as this is the first Sideshow outside of Lincoln.

We all love Stack and what it brings to the region, and the new site will ramp up the brand’s offerings thanks to the amazing shift between Stack favourites and the pre existing listed building.
