'Hidden gem' rooftop bar to close as Curzon cinema in Sheffield shuts down
Sheffield city centre has several cinemas. But the Curzon is the only one with a rooftop bar.
One of Sheffield’s favourite rooftop bars - a hidden gem in a listed building - is closing down.
The first floor bar at the Curzon cinema, overlooking elegant George Street, will be lost when the movie theatre closes on Monday June 29.
Sheffield city centre has several cinemas. But the Curzon is the only one with a rooftop bar.
The closure announcement came without warning earlier this week.
Posting on social media, the business said: “We are deeply saddened to inform you that we will be permanently closing Curzon Sheffield on 29 June, 2026.
“The admissions have fallen below the level required to remain profitable, and therefore the company has made the difficult decision to close the cinema.
“On behalf of the entire Curzon Sheffield team, we’d like to thank our employees past and present for their dedicated service.
“Above all, we’re so grateful to you, our visitors, for all your support over the years. You made Curzon Sheffield such a vibrant, welcoming community.
Curzon has 16 venues in the UK. The Sheffield branch opened in January 2015.
In addition to showcasing independent films, it also cultivated a community of film fans and theatre lovers through a membership scheme and showings of National Theatre Live productions.
