Stack Newcastle accessibility
We popped in to explore what Stack Newcastle had to offer today. Described as "A CREATIVE SOCIAL HUB FOR ENTERTAINMENT, CULTURE, WORK AND PLAY. A DESTINATION CONCEPT IN THE HEART OF NEWCASTLE CITY CENTRE" on its website, this venue is created out of what look like shipping containers creating space for a multitude of small businesses that range from take aways and restaurants, coffee shops and bars to small shops selling ranges including local photographs, ethical clothing, vegan pet products, jewellry, a florist and a barbers.
Places to eat offer a great variety including Sushi, Lebanese bake, Texas grill, pizza, fish and chips, crepes, vegan , Korean food, cheesecakes and tacos, so you are spoilt for choice.
There are a few bars offering specialties that include Gins, craft beers and cocktails mostly situated around an open central seating area on benches that surround a pit fire. As this is outdoors with a covered area above, there are numerous heaters to keep the chill off.
We visited on a Friday lunch time and everything was open but fairly quiet. It was fully accessible to mobility scooters and wheelchairs, although in some areas space is limited where you need to turn around or back up. There is an accessible lift to the upper floor and a disabled toilet upstairs which appeared to be clean with plenty of room to manoeuvre.
Staff were very helpful, opening the lift door and offering assistance without even being approached, explaining how the lift works etc. Security staff offered to show me around.
