Arc Inspirations is set to expand its portfolio of bars into a new city with the launch of Manahatta, Sheffield.
The group currently operates 18 premium bars across the North of England, under the brands of Banyan Bar and Kitchen, BOX and Manahatta.
It secured planning permission for the new site located in Sheffield which will be transformed into a Manahatta bar launching in February.
Manahatta, Sheffield marks the eighth site for the brand, which has other venues in Birmingham, Harrogate, Leeds, Manchester and York.
Inspired by New York loft bars, the venue will comprise two floors and will be located in the heart of the city. It will feature bookable booths, a 12-metre feature bar with a DJ podium, external seating and a first-floor balcony overlooking City Hall.
Arc Inspirations CEO Martin Wolstencroft, said: “We are delighted to continue growing our successful portfolio of brands and it is always such an exciting adventure introducing what we do to new cities and locations. Coming to the new city of Sheffield, we are confident the Manahatta brand will be a popular addition to the already existing nightlife and bar scene.
“Sheffield is a vibrant city, undergoing transformational investment which we want to be a part of. Their large population, with over 17 million visitors annually, makes this the right time to bring the brand to the city as we seek to continue expanding the business over the next three-to-five years.”
Alongside offering a new space for up to 500 guests, the bar will also create 70 jobs in the local area, including managers, bar, floor and kitchen staff.
