THE Go To Spot!

Union Cafe personifies a level of excellence that carries its name upon the shoulders of its amazing service, staff, product and sense of community. Union and its staff have made me feel like family ever since I came to Columbus as an Ohio State student and has never ceased to exceed my expectations. The food is top notch with multiple options catered to a wide variety of pallets by a cultured and experienced staff of chefs. The drinks always put me in the best mood; never watered down nor under-flavored by the amazing and attentive bar staff. There is always something for everyone whether it be singing your heart out on karaoke nights, enjoying a fresh brunch with friends while reminiscing during a day of show tunes, sharing dinner with colleagues or professional contacts, or simply hitting the town for a night of upbeat fun and excitement. I love everything about this place and highly recommend it to anyone however they identify. It is more than a business. It is a family and its doors are always open for everyone!

Great bar

I come here every once in a while and I thoroughly enjoy myself each time I visit. Drinks are very reasonably priced and are very strong for what you pay for. Service is great as well.
