News for BOX:

• 3rd November 2024

  Arc Inspirations, the group behind popular venues like Manahatta, has announced that its newest sports bar under the BOX brand will officially open on Saturday 23rd November. Located at Barker's Pool in the heart of Sheffield, this £2.7 million project promises to bring a fresh, high-energy space for sports enthusiasts, music lovers, and partygoers alike.
  
  BOX, while under the same ownership as the New York-inspired Manahatta, is a departure from the cocktail-centric, upscale ambience of its sister venue. BOX offers an engaging, relaxed atmosphere where patrons can "watch, play and party." Described by Arc Inspirations as a "game-changing high-quality sports bar," BOX has already seen success with other locations in Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds. The Sheffield location aims to capture the spirit of the city's lively sports culture and provide a laid-back daytime vibe that transforms into a high-energy entertainment space by night.
  
  Arc Inspirations CEO Martin Wolstencroft expressed enthusiasm for expanding in Sheffield, where Manahatta has thrived since its opening last year. "We're thrilled to be doubling our presence in the centre of Sheffield, a city where we've seen great success," he said. "Sheffield's rich sporting heritage and passionate community make it the perfect home for BOX, and we're excited to introduce a new kind of venue to this vibrant city."
  
  Set within the renovated former Kingdom nightclub building, BOX Sheffield spans two floors and features a bold, modern design. The venue boasts Sheffield's largest indoor screen and 30 large HD TVs, all positioned to create an optimal viewing experience, including raised "stadium-style" seating for an immersive feel. This extensive setup ensures fans won't miss a moment of the action, whether it's football, boxing, NFL, or Formula 1.
  
  In addition to the impressive sports-viewing experience, BOX will offer a range of interactive games and live entertainment, including electric darts, immersive horse racing, and karaoke rooms for private gatherings. These features align with Arc Inspirations' broader City Centre Growth strategy, which includes a target of 50 bars nationwide by 2030.
  
  BOX Sheffield aims to become a top destination for sports, food, and entertainment. Highlights include:
  
  * Thursday Night Events: ‘Bandeoke’ nights where guests can perform with a live band, and the "Big Box Quiz."
  * Weekend Entertainment: live music every Friday and Saturday featuring local talent.
  * Bottomless Brunch: a 90-minute experience available for £34.95, with unlimited Prosecco, cocktails, and select beverages.
  * Happy Hours and Deals: two-for-one cocktails all day from Sunday to Friday and until 5pm on Saturdays, £8 weekday lunch specials, and £5 after-work pints.
  
  The food menu at BOX caters to a range of tastes with a selection of loaded fries, Neapolitan-style pizzas, burgers, kebabs, and sharing platters. Arc Inspirations has designed the menu to complement the laid-back, social setting of BOX, offering crowd-pleasers that are ideal for sharing among friends and family.
  
  BOX's launch in Sheffield will create approximately 55 new jobs, contributing to the local economy and offering a variety of positions in hospitality, entertainment, and management. This opening is part of Arc Inspirations' strategy to expand its footprint across major UK cities, with additional locations anticipated over the next year.
  
  With its wide-ranging appeal, BOX Sheffield promises to be more than just a sports bar - it's a space where fans can experience a unique blend of sports, music, games, and quality dining.
