Mehh...

Old Union was better. Love the interior and patio, but the tables inside are a major pain to get around. Haven't tried the food, but I only hear mixed reviews. They tried to have a show, but the "stage" was pathetic, you couldn't see anything. Bad layout all around. Staff are nice though, at least the bar staff are, not sure about wait staff.

Great menu and eclectic decor

The menu at Union Bar + Food is wonderful and very diverse. The prices are very reasonable (I didn't think it was terrible like other reviewers.) The decor is awesome with some of the neatest and obscure music videos I have ever seen. I recommend you visit this great establishment before a long night of hedonism. Plus, the waiters are cute.

Showtune Sunday's Rock!

By far the best day to go for a great night out. Food still overpriced but far better than the few other bars that have a menu.
