Breath of fresh air

I find Union Station refreshingly different. The crowd offers a full line of diversity from gay males/drag queens/lesbians/straight. I really enjoy the atmosphere and when you go ask for Autumn as your server...so cute knowledgeable on the menu and offers you a smile that can turn your day around.

Bad service and bad bartenders

Bartenders at the main bar give bad service unless you start tipping them extra (it should be the other way around). Food is advertised as being gourmet, but most of it is just frozen stuff dumped in the deep fryer. They're not good enough to cook a lot of the stuff on the menu.

BEST BAR EVER!!

One of my favorite places to go to in the united states. The food is good and the waiters are very cute. Many sexy guys and great energy, with beautiful, trendy decor.

Terrible STRAIGHT bar with a gay influence

This place was great and now its sold out to the influx of "trendy" straight invaders of the short north. The only time UNION is gay was gay pride week so they could rake in the money. Go to LIQUID down the street, better food, better service, and its not full of straight couples, wankers and overweight college girls hoping to land a confused gay boy. Hmmm intresting since the owners got very rich on the gay community and now have sold out.....
