Sheffield’s flagship Heart of the City development is to get a taste of the continent with the opening of the city’s largest ever beer hall and restaurant.
Kapital, located at 14 Wellington Street, opens on Friday 27th June and is the latest venture from the independent, award-winning team behind Two Thirds Beer Co. The 4,500 sq ft venue will focus on European beer, food and top-class service mixing continental cuisine, fresh tank beer, cocktails and live big band entertainment all in one huge city centre destination.
It’ll be the second venue for the team and marks a major expansion, something that wouldn’t have been possible without help from Sheffield City Council.
We’ve had big ambitions to grow for a while, but nothing ever quite felt right - until the Council introduced us to this incredible site on Wellington Street, right in the heart of our hometown. The moment we saw it, we knew it had the potential to become something really special. The location, the scale - it was exactly what we’d been searching for to bring our modern beer hall vision to life here in Sheffield.
Once we had secured the location though the Council’s help and assistance didn’t end there, they were fantastic in helping us navigate through the whole process right up to the point where we are preparing to open our doors for the first time and share what we’ve built with the city we love.
Ben Stubbs from Two Thirds Beer Co.
Two Thirds Beer Co. will continue to trade out of their first venue on Abbeydale Road with the new Kapital Beer Hall & Restaurant giving them a presence in the city centre for the first time.
We love our neighbourhood bar on Abbeydale Road - it’s where it all started for us, and it was so important that we didn’t have to give that up to take this next step. Thanks to the Council’s support, we’ve been able to grow without compromise - keeping our original home alive and thriving, while launching a huge new flagship venue right in the heart of the city. It really feels like the start of something special for us and for Sheffield.

Our incredible Heart of the City development is continuing to attract big name businesses, both nationally and locally, wanting to have a presence in the city centre and the addition of Kapital is the perfect example of a local business putting their faith in Heart of the City to expand their business.
For some businesses, making such a big move to a massive project like this can seem incredibly daunting but we have a brilliant and experienced team on hand to guide them through the whole process, just like they did in this instance. We want our city centre to be filled with incredible national, international and local businesses, offering residents and visitors something unique, an experience you can only get in Sheffield. With the addition of city’s largest ever beer hall and restaurant, we will be adding to that offering.
