Yorkshire revellers go coconuts for tropical new Palm bar in Sheffield
Palm, Sheffield’s first Caribbean garden bar, is bringing a taste of the tropics to South Yorkshire — and locals are going coconuts for it.
Its fresh take on the tiki bar is transforming part of Kelham Island into a mini paradise escape.
The hotspot , with sunshine vibes and flavour, has been packed out week after week, with hundreds booking in every month for its Caribbean-inspired bottomless brunch, as demand continues to soar.
The recent Bank Holiday weekend proved especially popular, with the venue enjoying its busiest period since opening.
’90s supermodel Heather Stewart-Whyte, former Sheffield Wednesday/ Leeds United defender Jon Newsome and the recently crowned Miss South Yorkshire, Whitney Dsane, were among the guests who turned out to experience the unveiling of the £500,000 investment by Sheffield-based Ascent Leisure in Kelham Island late last year.
Dominic McKaig, Group Marketing Manager, said: “When we first opened, we wanted to create somewhere that felt like an escape from the ordinary - somewhere full of warmth, colour and atmosphere. The reaction over the last six months has exceeded expectations.
“The bottomless brunch has really taken off and the recent Bank Holiday was our strongest week yet in terms of bookings and revenue. We’re now seeing customers travelling from across South Yorkshire and North East Derbyshire to experience what we’re doing here.”

Designed as a blend of Caribbean vibrancy and Sheffield’s industrial heritage, it aims to set a new benchmark for destination venues in the city.
A brand new menu boasts classic Caribbean 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.
There is also a popular weekly reggae night.
Available for private hire, Palm will offer flexible event packages with handcrafted cocktails, tropical décor and laid-back summer vibes.
The bar is open every week from Friday to Sunday every week.
Palm is located at 92 Burton Road, Kelham Island, Sheffield S3 8DA.
