About Saw Grinders Union
Saw Grinders Union is a bar on Globe Works in Sheffield, serving burgers, wings and cocktails. Bottomless brunch runs at the weekend, and the cocktail list includes a Bloody Mary. The burger menu features the Buffalo Chicken Burger, with a choice of toppings to add, and peri-peri french fries come on the side. The courtyard has a section that can be given private access, which suits groups hosting parties and other events, and a buffet can be arranged for those occasions. Tables can be reserved.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails draw the most praise, described as beautiful, banging and pretty good, with one reviewer singling out a good Bloody Mary. Food follows close behind: a bacon cheeseburger with free toppings like grilled onions and gherkins, a Buffalo Chicken Burger with just the right kick, and peri-peri fries. Bottomless brunch earns several enthusiastic mentions for tasty drinks, loads of choice and lush food, and staff are repeatedly called lovely, friendly and helpful. The complaints centre on organisation. One brunch guest reports slow service, a condescending and rude bartender, and only about four drinks, leaving them feeling ripped off. A Eurovision watch party is described as poorly organised, with the screen behind the bar where people stood and a projector that might as well have pointed at the ceiling, so some left and watched at home. A corporate summer party, by contrast, got a buffet and private access to part of the courtyard.

“We had our corporate summer party here last week and it was brilliant, the staff were so friendly and helpful, the buffet was incredible. We had private access to a section of the courtyard & the venue was perfect! 10/10 recommend to anybody, whether you're organising a private event, or just going down with friends/ family for food & drinks.”

“Did the bottles brunch at £45 a head. The food was delicious but service was slow and the bar man was condescending and rude. I left feeling pretty ripped off to be honest. I think we had 4 drinks in total which for a bottomless brunch isn’t great. Especially at £45 ! Zero atmosphere and wouldn’t go back. Sad really as the food was great. Shame about the attitude of the staff”
