Newcastle drinkers have voiced their disappointment that Stack will soon be closing for good so that a major office development can take its place.
The Stack on Pilgrim Street in the city centre will shut on May 2 to make way for an office block that will house 9,000 staff from HMRC. The food, drink and shopping hub which is made up of shipping containers, opened on the former Odeon site four years ago to bring new retail and leisure operators to the city centre.
It has been home to popular street food vendors including Acropolis and Bao Down over the years, but now businesses are serving up their final meals to customers before they move on from the site. Neill Winch, CEO of Stack owners Danieli Group, confirmed that the venue will close at midnight on its final day of trading to make way for the Pilgrim Place development works.
