The Bloomery

Walk into The Bloomery and you'll find yourself in that sweet spot between a serious drinker's pub and somewhere that actually takes its kitchen seriously. Broomhill's got no shortage of student haunts, but this place has the kind of easy confidence that comes from knowing exactly what it is—a local's local with ambitions. The vibe is relaxed enough that you'll see people nursing a pint at 3pm without feeling watched, yet there's proper thought gone into both the drinks selection and what's coming out of the kitchen. It's the kind of place you stumble into on a Thursday evening and suddenly it's closing time, which is the highest compliment you can pay any Sheffield pub.
