The trendy Highfield neighbourhood has welcomed a new addition to its vibrant food and drink scene. Poco, a chic new wine and cocktail bar, officially opened its doors on 14th June at the Stag Works on John Street, just off Bramall Lane. As the little sister to the well-known Piña in Neepsend, Poco is already creating a buzz among Sheffield's discerning bar-goers.
Poco is situated in the heart of Little Sheffield, an area that's rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the city's trendiest districts, alongside hotspots like Kelham Island and Neepsend. Nestled within Stag Works, Poco joins an eclectic mix of businesses, including Zephyr’s bar, the grass-roots music venue Lovely Rita's bakery, Mamnick fashion store, and Sophie Farrar ceramics. Owner Joe Cribley describes it as a "lovely community," reflecting the area's creative and welcoming atmosphere.
Unlike Piña, which is famous for its bustling atmosphere and mezcal- and tequila-infused cocktails, Poco offers a more intimate experience. "It's more of a sit-down cosy cocktail and wine bar, with table service," explains Cribley. "We're still very much inspired by Mexican and South American spirits and cocktails and want to elevate and showcase new drinks that we don't necessarily have chance to at Piña."
The focus on elevating the drinking experience is reflected in Poco's seasonal cocktail and wine menu, which aims to introduce guests to new and innovative drinks. With rotating selections, customers can always expect fresh flavours and exciting combinations to enjoy in a laid-back setting.
Poco also features a carefully curated menu of small plates, offering a delightful accompaniment to its wine and cocktail offerings. The small plates rotate with the seasons, keeping the menu fresh and in tune with the changing tastes of the city.
This combination of carefully crafted cocktails and vibrant small plates makes Poco a destination for those seeking a refined, yet relaxed, drinking and dining experience.
Poco builds on the foundation laid by its sister venue, Piña, which has been a huge hit since opening in 2018. Located in a former warehouse on Harvest Lane in Neepsend, Piña has made a name for itself by serving up authentic Mexican street food, including its now-famous tacos, alongside an impressive selection of tequilas and mezcals.
Piña's success has not gone unnoticed - BBC Good Food has listed it as one of the best places to eat in Sheffield, and it earned accolades on Channel 4's Come Dine With Me: The Professionals, where judges praised its "perfect" tacos. With Poco, Cribley hopes to replicate this winning formula by offering a fresh take on cocktails and small plates in a more intimate setting.
As Poco settles into its stylish home at Stag Works, it's clear that it will be a key player in Sheffield's blossoming bar scene. Whether you're a wine enthusiast, a cocktail connoisseur, or just looking for a cosy spot to enjoy a night out, Poco promises to be a delightful addition to the Highfield neighbourhood.
If Piña's runaway success is anything to go by, Poco is set to become a must-visit destination in its own right, offering Sheffielders a sophisticated yet laid-back space to sip, snack, and socialise.
