The flagship STACK site will open in the heart of Newcastle on Tuesday December 2.
STACK Newcastle at Worswick Chambers on Pilgrim Street is preparing to welcome visitors following a multi-million-pound refurbishment of the historic site.
Along with a range of bars, streetfood traders and entertainment spaces, it will also be the first STACK venue in the North East to offer Sideshow – the circus-themed competitive socialising experience. Previously, Sideshow has only been available at STACK Lincoln but is now coming to the region, with a range of interactive games such as shuffleboard and darts along with karaoke booths.
The Grade II-listed site has been completely transformed – though it still retains many of its historic features – to offer eight bars, eight streetfood outlets, and an outdoor terrace with a stage and large screen set across three floors.
STACK’s most popular outlets – including ZZA Pizzeria, Bao Down, Acropolis, Brack Burger and We Are Melt, which opened at St. James’ STACK earlier this summer, and YOLO Coffee and Kitchen will all feature at STACK Newcastle – along with a range of first time STACK vendors.
Pattersons, a Liverpool-based fried chicken operator, is moving out of its home city for the first time to come to the North East. There will also be pulled pork dishes from The Cheesy Pig, also opening in the region for the first time; along with Mexican food courtesy of La Cocina Mexicano.
The venue also has three external units, with details of all the occupiers to follow in the near future.
Neill Winch, CEO of STACK, said: “STACK Newcastle has a special place in our hearts as it is so close to the site of our very first venue. We are very proud of the fact that we have brought this landmark building back to life after being vacant for 25 years. It has our signature look, but at the same time we have kept its historical integrity. We can’t wait for everyone to see our most ambitious project to-date.”
