BOX Sheffield: Firm behind Manahatta reveals plans to bring ‘award-winning’ sports bar to city centre

Award winning bar group, Arc Inspirations, the leading operator of premium bar brands including Manahatta, has announced plans to open a new site in Sheffield this year.

After successfully launching Manahatta, next to Sheffield City Hall, in early 2023, the company will double its presence in the Steel City with the launch of BOX Sheffield this autumn.

The firm says BOX Sheffield will bring a game-changing, high-quality sports bar and kitchen to the city, where customers can watch, play and party.

Relaxed by day and energetic by night, BOX has something for everyone, and already has award-winning locations including Leeds City Centre, Deansgate in Manchester and Brindleyplace in Birmingham.

Arc Inspirations co-founder and chief executive Martin Wolstencroft, said: “We’re thrilled to be doubling our presence in the centre of Sheffield, a city where we’ve seen great success in the last year. 

“Manahatta Sheffield was one of our best ever launches, and we can’t wait to bring our award-winning sports bar concept to the Steel City.”

The new site will create around 75 new jobs, with team members at all levels able to take advantage of Arc’s industry-leading training and development programmes.

Building on its city centre strategy, Arc is also opening new Manahatta bars in Nottingham and Edinburgh this autumn, as well as eyeing further launches in London, Liverpool and Cardiff in the near future.

Sheffield’s new venue will build on Arc’s city centre growth strategy, which is key to its ambition to operate 50 bars by 2030.
