Manhatta, a New York-inspired cocktail bar that already boasts venues in Manchester, Leeds and Harrogate is set to open three new UK venues, including a new Sheffield site.

The company which operates the bar, Arc Inspirations, recently reported record financial results and as a result has ambitious expansion plans, including two new BOX premium sports bars in Nottingham and Birmingham.

Arc Inspirations co-founder and chief executive Martin Wolstencroft said: “This was an exceptional and transformational year for our company.

“We started it with significant restrictions still in place during the first quarter, and we ended it by posting record sales and profits, concluding a new growth partnership with BGF, and being awarded two industry ‘Oscars’ – for best company and best operations team.

“This is a testament to our team and culture.  We are now able to contemplate a year without any trading restrictions for the first time since 2019.

“While clearly challenges remain, the business is extremely well-positioned with a clear growth plan, an exceptional pipeline of new sites, strong customer brands and two new strategic partnerships, which when combined will enable the business to capitalise on market opportunities over the next five years.”

No specific details have been revealed yet as to where the new bar will be located in Sheffield or when it will be opening.

Current venues in other cities sport a sleek, modern Manhattan-themed look specialising in unique drinks such as Pornstar Martinis, Rum and Plum and Espresso Martinis.

There is also an American-inspired food menu including burgers, hot dogs and smaller bites.
