  Sheffield's hospitality scene just got a major upgrade with the arrival of Kapital - the city's largest European-style beer hall - now open on Wellington Street.
  
  The £750,000 venue officially opened its doors on 27th June as part of Sheffield's £470 million Heart of the City development. It joins a growing lineup of destinations revitalising the city centre, alongside projects like Cambridge Street Collective and Leah's Yard.
  
  Kapital is the latest creation from the team behind the award-winning Two Thirds Beer Co. on Abbeydale Road. After two years of planning and building, co-founders Ben Stubbs, Danny Clare, and Adam Inns are finally welcoming customers into a space they say is inspired by the great beer cities of Europe.
  
  "It does feel quite surreal that we're now at the point where we're going to be opening the doors," said Ben Stubbs in a recent interview. "We spent a lot of time in Germany, in Prague and the Republic of Belgium - so we saw how they do things and are then bringing a little bit of each of those into one big space like this."
  
  The result is a bold, high-capacity venue with more than 30 beer taps and an atmosphere that combines continental influence with local character. The centrepiece? Three enormous tanks of Budvar, the unpasteurised Czech lager, imported directly from South Bohemia.
  
  "It's a cracking beer," Stubbs said. "Unpasteurised, fresh and comes straight from the cellars of the brewery. It's put in a tanker and driven over into the UK, straight to here."
  
  Despite the team's deep passion for beer, Kapital isn't aiming to be exclusive or high-brow. Stubbs emphasised their goal of "grown-up drinking" - a quality-focused space where anyone can enjoy great drinks in a comfortable, thoughtfully-designed environment.
  
  "Quality environment, quality product and quality service," he added. "It's a place you can come and have a decent beer, in a really nice environment."
  
  With its massive footprint, curated drinks list, and a clear vision rooted in European beer culture, Kapital is set to become a standout addition to Sheffield's evolving city centre - and a new go-to for beer lovers across South Yorkshire.
