Food was delicious here. Great happy hour deals, amazing drinks and the cozy vibe of it was really nice. Service was a little slower for a non-busy Tuesday night, but still great nonetheless!

Wonderful spot. Food menu was original, concise, and well executed. Non-alcoholic cocktails were top notch. Staff absolutely lovely. Ambiance was low-lit and quiet enough. Will be back!

Delicious food. The burrata specifically is so yum. Great whiskey list and a very game bar and server who worked with me to make my own scotch flight.

We had such a great dinner at The Union in Chicago! Our server, Tyler, was incredible — super friendly, attentive, and made the whole night feel fun and easy. Highly recommend both the food and the service!

Union burger is solid. Ordered a medium and got a medium rare, but they happily made another one and waived the cost on another drink that I ordered. Great service, great selection of beers, and the atmosphere is great. Moderate to loud noise.

Popped into Union for dinner after hearing good things about this place. Started with the Wood-Grilled Broccolini. This dish was far above average for broccoli. It has a sweetness and smokiness that has me craving more. We then moved on the Lamb Meatballs which was also a cool adaptation of a more traditional dish. Lastly, we ended the night with the Union Burger which was good and full of fresh ingredients. Overall the food was great and showing up on Whiskey Wednesday was the cherry on top. Also the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Get the burger with bone marrow aioli, the spicy gem salad and pork trotters. The service is unmatched. Live this place!!

Great experience at Union! Awesome beer menu and the food was outstanding. We had the fried olives, grilled squash, red snapper and lamb meatballs. All were thoughtfully prepared/plated and very delicious. Hope to return soon!

The staff was fantastic. They were attentive but not overly so. The food came out with good timing. They told us about the specials and other such things. The food was good. Decent prices and good portions. Flavor-wise, it was pretty good as well. Got the union burger and it's a good burger...but just a tad dry and not enough cheese.

This place is absolutely disgusting. I have never experienced such blatant racism in my life. My friends and I came here on a Friday night just to have fun, but from the second we walked in, the server gave us nasty looks like we didn’t belong. He then had the nerve to call the manager, and instead of fixing the problem, the manager told us to LEAVE.
Why? Because we are Asian. That’s it. They simply did not want to serve us because of our race. This is pure racism, nothing else. It was humiliating, offensive, and unacceptable.
Shame on this restaurant for allowing such hateful behavior. No one should ever support a business that treats people like this. If you care about basic respect and human decency, DO NOT come here.

This was honestly the worst bar experience of my life. My friends and I came here on a Friday night, and we didn’t do anything wrong, but the staff kicked us out, saying we were being rude to them. We weren’t rude at all—in fact, we even asked calmly what exactly we did, but they never gave us any explanation, just told us to leave.
The truth is, it wasn’t us being rude to them, it was them discriminating against us. We were polite the whole time—even when the dessert tasted awful, we still said it was good and thanked them. They close at midnight, but by 11:30 the staff came over and took all our dishes away, and then right after, the manager showed up and kicked us out.
It made absolutely no sense. Honestly, I believe it was pure discrimination—because our entire table was Asian.
