What had started off as a novelty soon became one of our best-loved night spots once Stack staked its claim to its prime city site.
Container village set-ups were in their infancy when Stack first opened in Newcastle but now that location in Pilgrim Street is set for redevelopment and its drinks, shops and food outlets soon will be closing for good. News that Stack will shut on May 2 came as a blow to both its many traders and customers; the social hub having become so popular that many forgot it was only ever supposed to be temporary.
There is, however, a little ray of light in the darkness with hints there may be an alternative future location found for the set-up. With fingers rossed for that, we here reflect upon what we will miss about Stack once it's gone.
