But don’t panic, it’ll be back as a new venue in the new year!


Well, it’s the end of an era! The owners of ever-popular Division Street party bar Gatsby have announced that following a NYE do, the venue will cease to be the Gatsby as we know it.

Over the last 13-years, the venue has been home to countless pints, pals and parties but its Sheffield owners now feel it’s time for a change and are busy cooking up something new to take its place.

For now, they are keeping plans for the new venue firmly under wraps. James O’Hara, co-founder of Gatsby and other Rockingham Group venues Public, Picture House Social and Ambulo, told Exposed: “We’ve had some of the best times of our lives at Gatsby, I even lived upstairs in the flat at one point which was less than ideal.

“Sheffield is a very different place to when we started, and we think it’s about to have an amazing few years with so much going on in the city centre in 2024.

“It’s time for this building to grow up! There’s a lot of history on this corner of Division St and Rockingham St and we’re looking back to the past to take us forward in to the future.

“We look forward to unveiling it early next year.”

Thanks for the memories, Gatsby, and let’s send it off in style over the holidays!
