The 17,000 sq ft sports bar has opened in the Gaumont building in the city centre.

Owner Arc Inspirations has leased the venue from Queensbury Real Estate.

Spread across two floors, the venue will have 30 HD TV screens and the biggest indoor screen in the city, alongside a raised stadium-style seating area.

Cllr Ben Miskell, chair of the transport, regeneration and climate policy committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “Joining the many new hospitality venues, shops and offices that are opening up throughout the city centre, the latest venue for Arc Inspirations is also a great boost in creating new jobs and investment in Sheffield.”

Andrew Davison, project director at Queensberry, added: “We’re excited to welcome BOX to the award-wining Heart of the City redevelopment scheme in the historic location of the Gaumont Building with its new contemporary design.

“It fits perfectly with the venue being a leisure destination, bringing further vibrancy back into our city centre and creating another must-visit place within Sheffield.”

Headquartered in Leeds, Arc Inspirations has been operating since 1999 and mainly runs venues under three brands, BOX, Manahatta and Banyan.
