Union Kitchen and Tap Gaslamp

July/04/2025
Very disappointing experience.
I waited a long time for a table, and despite being told I would be seated, they never gave me a spot. No proper updates, no apology — just left waiting with no explanation. Completely unprofessional. I won’t be coming back.

Food and service was good. Lunch menu has variety of healthy choices.

Enjoyed a nice evening here. The shrimp, wings, steak frites, and bread pudding were top notch. Trivia night was also fun. Glad we were able to hang out!

This place is pretty cool. The food was good and the staff were great. The bartender make a really good whiskey sour!

I recommend this place!

Mine and my friends vegetables were undercooked. My friend asked for a side of another vegetable they said no because of price difference. Spoke to the manager and he said they would discount her meal and drink.

Definitely a cool location and atmosphere. We were there on trivia night and had a blast

Watched Dodgers v Padres, had beer, great company, and great food - no complaints from me! I really recommend the sharable plates. It's not pictured but their Skillet Cornbread was my favorite. Pictures are the Creole Shrimp (loved the sauce but needed more bread) and Moroccan Bowl (I think) which was a hearty grilled chicken salad.

The establishment's low occupancy level was highly appreciated, resulting in a wait time of under five minutes. Both the beverage and the meal were exceptional.

After a long day at the SD Auto Show, we headed over to the Gaslamp for a late lunch. Stop into the Union Kitchen and had a good meal, enjoyed the atmosphere and good service. Shelly ordered the Bacon Mac and Cheese, Kylee ordered the Union Jack Burger, and I had the Blue Lump Crab Cakes.

Food is okay, but the wait is long and the vibes are sort of chaotic with football playing everywhere. Came here with my family with two little kids and was a bit disappointed by the long wait for food. Food tasted okay, but nothing to write home about, but the prices are hefty.

Came in on Christmas Day for a Bloody Mary and a beer. Luke was our bartender and he was absolutely fantastic not just to us but to everyone including his coworkers 👏🏼👏🏼

Where Gaslamp vibes meet killer brunch and craft cocktails. The menu’s a hit, the beer list is solid, and the people-watching is next level. It’s busy, but hey, that’s the price of being popular. Pro tip: don’t skip the truffle fries!
