The Stack, Newcastle

Visited this yesterday. A very interesting and vibrant concept. Excellent for small businesses to start up.

Fits in well with the rest of the offering in the city centre. I'll certainly go there again.

 

Sadly, given the very poor offering that is Sheffield city centre, I doubt it would work here though.

I have to pass it to get my bus. Lots of trendy tropical looking bars, it was busy but I think the warm weather helped.

They demolished the old pictures last year. Earlier this year they started to put these containers together. I had no idea what they were doing, I thought it was going to be used for storage. It only took them a few months to build it and get it up and running. When I realised what it was I expected it to be a load of rubbish, but it looks nice and well planned.

They have done something similar across the Tyne in Gateshead on a smaller scale.

Must be a new trend using containers to build bars and restaurants, there’s a fish and chip shop at Tynemouth sea front and they have used an old storage container.
