The latest Roxy Ball Room to open will be right here in Yorkshire.
We all love a game or two at Roxy's (that's no secret) but now there's a whole new location to keep us entertained with beer pong, pool, curling and so much more.
Taking over a whopping 15,500 sq ft of Sheffield's iconic Telephone House, the latest Roxy Ball Room is the latest to bring games aplenty to Yorkshire's up-and-coming city.
Expect to competitively take on the likes of American pool and shuffleboard tables with friends before grabbing a puck and playing a round of the newly-developed ice-free curling lanes.

If that's not enough, you'll be able to sing your heart out in a private karaoke room, shoot some hoops on the basketball games and even duckpin bowling will be available to book in and whilst a strike isn't guaranteed, the classic Roxy's aesthetic of graffitied walls and modern decor is guaranteed to make an appearance as part of the makeover of the historic Sheffield venue.
What was formerly the Roxy Disco venue from the 80s and 90s, the O2 Academy concert venue is going to return to its original namesake, albeit under a new Roxy name and guise, this summer.

Anyone who knows and loves Roxy's endless games and things to do will be drooling over their American-style menu of pizzas, small plates and an extensive drinks list with no less than 16 beers and craft ales, all of which will be available to accompany your games from the day of opening.
Joel Mitchell, Brand Development and commercial manager for Roxy Leisure said:
‘’After several years of success in some of the north’s most prolific cities, it was only a matter of time before Roxy found a home in Sheffield. The Telephone House venue is simply perfect, with plenty of room for our wealth of gaming options and a prime location in the heart of the city’s buzzing nightlife scene.’’

‘’Whether you’re out for a bite to eat and a few games of shuffleboard or need to host a lively stag or hen do with lots of different personalities to please, Roxy is the ultimate all-in-one entertainment venue. We look forward to welcoming the people of Sheffield to our newest bar and am confident the unique Roxy formula will resonate with locals.’’
More details are expected to be announced in the lead up to the opening but for all the latest information, visit the Roxy Ball Room website.

True North Brew Co. to host outdoor fan zones across Sheffield for the World Cup
Football isn't just coming home, it's coming to True North Brew Co.
It's almost time to get your very best England merch on and get cheering on the lads in the 2026 World Cup.
Luckily for us, True North Brew Co. will be providing the ultimate scenes with a number of fan zones across the city.
The hospitality group will be transforming a number of their bars and venues into football viewing hotspots throughout the tournament.
The Abbeydale Ballroom will be on of the city's largest outdoor fan zones, showing every England fixture across multiple screens so no one misses out on the action.
Not only that, but The Ballroom's car park will be converted into a large-scale viewing area featuring a huge LED screen for fans to watch matches together.
Elsewhere, The British Oak in Mosborough will be hosting its very own outdoor screening zone with a brand-new LED screen.
Also getting in on the action is The Common Room, Forum, The Old Grindstone, Riverside and The Broadfield - it's safe to say True North have got us covered.
A spokesperson for True North Brew Co said: “There’s nothing quite like tournament football in Sheffield. Whether you’re watching in one of our fan zones, booking your own private viewing area, or joining hundreds of other fans for the big England games, we want our venues to be the best places in the city to experience the World Cup together.
“The atmosphere is going to be incredible and hopefully we’ll all be celebrating deep into the tournament.”
