I’ve been working the late night bar and restaurant circuit lately trying to keep the World Cup fun and interesting. Union was on my list of ‘heard-the-hype-so-must-try’ places. First, Carlsberg was discounted for the World Cup (star). Second, sitting at the bar I had both the projection screen and the flat screen within view. They also had a long high table in front of the bar that was great for those that didn’t arrive in time to sit up front. Third, service was great. I asked and I received. There was very little wait between the two each time I was greeted with a smile. Our request for more chips - after they had stored them away - was granted much to my party’s surprise (2 stars). Fourth, the chicken wings were so good we decided to order them twice (star). Finally, when the bill came we were all shocked how little it was after two World Cup games and plenty of beers (star).
By my accounting, Union is a 5 star restaurant / bar.
Caveat: if you’re going specifically to watch the World Cup you’re not going to feel the rowdy sports pub vibe here at Union. If that’s your scene, you will need to go to Paddy’s, Goose & Duck or Frank’s.
