There was an outpouring of disappointment earlier this week when it was announced that popular Newcastle haunt Stack will be closing its doors in just over a month.
Since opening in 2018, the shipping container development on Pilgrim Street, has proven a hit with both Geordies and visitors alike, pulling in massive crowds for the World Cup and Euros, being the place where now established event Kroud Karaoke launched and being home to everyone's favourite festive pop-up Hadrian's Tipi.
Stack has also put a host of local food vendors on the map, as revellers tuck into everything from pizza to duck loaded fries and gyros to sushi as they enjoy a few al fresco drinks. So it came as big blow for many when Stack confirmed it would be closing its doors at the start of May.
