Sheffields newest concept bar set to blend Barbados sun with industrial cool
A lush slice of the Caribbean is arriving in Kelham Island at the end of this month as the city’s first ever Caribbean Garden Bar opens its doors
With a £500,000 investment, ‘Palm’ venue will blend the district’s industrial heritage with the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean. Soaring beams, cascading greenery and sunset lighting will create a warm, tropical backdrop for handcrafted cocktails and street-food flavours.~
Set to open to the public on Saturday, November 29th, Palm takes the familiar idea of a Tiki bar and raises it to a new level – combining designer drinks, island-inspired décor and authentic Caribbean cooking.
Guests can expect classic dishes such as jerk chicken and rice and peas, given a Sheffield twist by Ascent’s executive chef Tom Wells-Lomas, working alongside a Caribbean chef to ensure genuine island authenticity.
Open Thursday to Sunday, Palm will also introduce its own Caribbean take on bottomless brunch, pairing relaxed weekend vibes with island beats and a menu full of sunshine flavours. It is the latest investment by Sheffield-based Ascent Leisure.
Tom Wells-Lomas, executive chef at Ascent Leisure, said: “Palm will bring the heart of the Caribbean to Kelham. We’re taking traditional flavours and giving them a creative twist that feels at home in Sheffield.”
Available for private hire, Palm will offer flexible event packages with handcrafted cocktails, tropical décor and laid-back summer vibes.
Stuart Jones, manager at Palm, said: “We wanted to create somewhere that feels like an escape – where people can sip, relax and repeat under glowing lights and tropical greenery. Palm brings together Sheffield’s energy and Caribbean warmth in one stunning new space.”
Palm opens on Saturday, November 29th, 2025, and will trade Thursday to Sunday.
