The recent opening of STACK Newcastle has brought a bold new social space to the city centre. Set within the historic Worswick Street building, the venue successfully balances its heritage surroundings with STACK’s distinctive, contemporary energy. The result is a space that feels lively and modern while remaining respectful of its architectural roots.

A defining feature of the interior is the extensive use of bespoke upholstered seating throughout the venue. Designed to encourage people to stay, relax, and socialise, the seating combines comfort with durability, adding warmth and texture to the industrial backdrop. The choice of materials and finishes enhances the overall aesthetic while standing up to the demands of a high-footfall environment.

Acoustic panelling has been carefully integrated into the design, playing a crucial role in managing sound across the busy, multi-level space. This thoughtful approach ensures the venue maintains its vibrant atmosphere without becoming overwhelming, allowing conversation, music, and live events to coexist comfortably.

Together, the upholstery and acoustic elements elevate the overall experience, demonstrating a clear attention to detail and functionality. STACK Newcastle feels well considered, energetic, and built for modern socialising — a strong addition to the city’s food, drink, and leisure scene from the moment it opened.
