£2.7m investment will see sports bar open this weekend

BOX Sheffield, the latest venue from sports bar brand BOX, will open its doors in Sheffield city centre on Barker’s Pool on 23 November.

The £2.7m investment in this venue has created 55 new jobs.

It is part of the Arc Inspirations family, the team behind Sheffield’s Manahatta bar.

Set across two floors in the renovated Gaumont building, BOX Sheffield is designed with sports lovers in mind,

Every table and seat has been positioned to provide an unrestricted view of one of 30 TV screens or Sheffield’s largest indoor screen, all centred around a raised stadium-style seating area.

Three private rooms offer exclusive spaces for karaoke, corporate events, or private gatherings.

Saturdays at BOX will spotlight the city’s talent with locally sourced bands joining the entertainment line-up.

For craft beer enthusiasts, BOX Sheffield is collaborating with local craft pioneers Thornbridge Brewery and Kelham Island Brewery, alongside a selection of some of the best canned brews in the North.

Martin Wolstencroft, CEO at ARC Inspirations, said: “We’re thrilled to open BOX in Sheffield alongside Manahatta, especially with the city’s Heart of the City transformation underway.

“Sheffield is famous for its passionate sports culture, making it the perfect fit for BOX. We’re excited to see locals creating unforgettable memories here.”
