It's been a busy start to 2026, and we're definitely not complaining.
We've had a whole host of new openings pop up in the city, from restaurants and coffee shops to wellness centres.
In case you've missed any of them, allow us to give you the lowdown of what's new in the city.
So, without further ado...
Güs

Say hello to Güs, a brand-new wellness hub which has opened in Sheffield city centre.
Inside Güs, you’ll find two saunas and four cold plunge pools to flip in-between for the ultimate wellness experience. We guarantee you’ll be feeling brand new after a session here.
You’ve got to check out the private showers and changing rooms too with all the amenities you need, making it super easy to fit a session around work or uni.

Taking over the old Pie Minister site is OMOMO, a Korean street food restaurant serving up authentic dishes like tteokbokki, corn dogs, Korean fried chicken and bubble tea.

Have you spotted this adorable koala on Howard Street? Well, the little guy's there thanks to Drop Bear - which has just opened its doors in our city.
This Aussie-inspired coffee spot comes from the same husband-and-wife team behind Sheff's beloved Hygge Coffee so we already knew it was going to be good. And do you know what? We were right.
Matcha Spot
16 Campo Lane, S1 2EF

The Matcha Spot is Sheffield’s trendiest matcha spot that has just opened up on Campo Lane, not only home to some of the city’s best matcha and coffee but the owners, Dee and Naima, are just bloody delightful.
The sisters have created the most gorgeous spot, slinging out incredible ceremonial matcha combinations just like the raspberry and white chocolate and pistachio white hazelnut. Best of all, you can add cold foam onto your matcha too - sounds dreamy, right?
Aux Bon Vivant
27a Campo Ln, S1 2EG

There’s a charming new French cafe in town - everyone say bienvenue to Aux Bon Vivant.
Headed up by couple Pierre and Zara (and their VERY new arrival Léon), this cosy spot brings all-day drinking, dining, and deli to Campo Lane.
Pierre is in the kitchen, whipping up an ever-changing plat du jour menu including classics like galette, French onion soup, and croque monsieur, alongside fantastic charcuterie boards (with homemade butter, no less), takeaway deli sandwiches, and gigantic pastries.
A restaurant where you can dive into unlimited pizza is opening in Sheffield very soon.
Like pizza? Then you're going to love this.
Introducing Slice Club, a brand-new restaurant concept that's opening in Sharrow Vale this month.
The idea has been 14 years in the making, and it's unlike anything you'll find in the city.
For £17.50 per person, guests can enjoy all-you-can-eat pizza, with fresh pizzas circulating around the room and served straight to the table.
There’s no menu or individual ordering, you simply take what you fancy, and a light on the table lets the team know when you’d like to pause or have more.

And it doesn't stop there as there’s no fixed sitting time, either. You simply eat until you're full and then the team will let the next group of hungry punters in, so you don't have to feel rushed.
Dips, drinks and desserts are extra and can be ordered separately.
As for the pizzas, there's plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available so nobody has to miss out on the slice action.
Teasing the opening on Instagram, The Slice Club said: "No choosing a pizza and regretting it when someone else’s turns up. We make them. We bring them round. You take what you fancy. Drinks and desserts work normally."
"You’ve watched the window go up. You’ve watched us get the place ready. Now, you can finally book a table. We’re bringing bottomless pizza to Sharrow Vale, with slices coming to you until you decide to hit pause."
Sounds like a pretty good concept if you ask us, and we don't have long to wait as The Slice Club will be opening on Sharrow Vale Road on Friday 30 October.
Bookings are now open, and you can book your table via their website here.
Traitors star and comedian Joe Lycett is putting cash behind the bar at a pub in Sheffield

Comedian Joe Lycett is putting money behind the bar at a pub in Sheffield this week, as he continues to encourage people to get out and support their local boozers.
The TV favourite – who is also currently one of the stars on The Traitors – announced the news as he bid farewell to his fictional TV pub The Lycett Arms.
On the show, he said: “There are 45,000 pubs in the UK – go and give them some love.”
Joe Lycett then proceeded to list 30 brilliant pubs up and down the country, including one in Sheffield, and announced that the drinks are on him this week.
He told audiences: “[This] Friday I’ll be putting a little bit of money behind the bar in all the pubs you’ve just seen. I hope you can have a drink on me.”
The chosen pub in Sheffield is The Hallamshire House, a lovely old boozer serving real ale in Crookesmoor.
Announcing the news to social media, Channel 4 and Joe Lycett wrote: "Take this as your excuse to drop what you’re doing, call a mate, and head to your local pub. Even if you see this during the middle of a working day. Go. Be free."
Well, you certainly don't have to tell us twice.
Some pubs have even agreed to match the offer, commenting on the post: “Thank you so much for the shout out. Next time you find yourself nearby, pop in for a pint!”
So this Friday, get your friends together and have a free pint on Joe Lycett himself - you know you want to.
