STACK Lincoln is a leisure and social hub in the St Marks Shopping Centre, built from shipping-container-style street-food traders around a central bar and a large stage. It bills itself as a local hub for street food, drink and live entertainment, with live music, tribute acts, sports screenings and quiz nights seven days a week and free entry for many shows. Food traders range from burgers and pizza to Mexican, Greek and Asian, and there's an outdoor roof bar plus 'Sideshow', a circus-themed competitive-socialising space with darts, shuffleboard, pool and karaoke. The slug's 'london' is wrong; STACK is in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
