After seeing their pizza special listed on the goProvidence Pizza Week website, we decided to try their pizza. We ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken pizza, along with the beer, and found it to be average. The pizza did have all the potential to be so much more, but there were some flaws. First of all, it was not 'hot', as it was medium, at best. Then it was impossible to get all of the ingredients on the pizza into one bite, so there was no real way to see if the pizza was better. In other words, one bite would have the chicken, the next the pickle, and the next the scallions, and the last, just cheese. The prep team really should have cut up those toppings smaller, so that we could incorporate them all, or at least two to three of them, into one bite. The potential is there for a savory pizza, but they did not deliver.

Was quite a wait, but also was quite busy. Food was absolutely delicious, could probably use a couple more waitstaff.

Amazing strawberry crème brûlée from the weekly specials..and a mocktail that will flashback to 2am at the club, without the hangover!A warm and inviting atmosphere if you’re looking to unwind on a Sunday evening. Star staff and service! ?

Good prices for a decent portion. I had just enough food and it wasn’t expensive. Great service too in a convenient location!

Food was good and service was attentive until it got crowded then I believe he had a hard time keeping up with tables - certainly not his fault. Also seemed like staff was a bit confused as they brought us food and drinks for another table twice.

The Nashville chicken tacos had a lot of kick. I asked for extra pickles and the cook nicely arranged them. I'm glad I did because the pickles were also delicious. Beer excellent.

Very underwhelmed. They had my reservation correct and we got seated right away so that was a nice start. Prompt service in the beginning. However the food is lackluster for the price point. I got the barley salad which was supposed to have Gorgonzola cheese sweet potato and pear chunks. I think there was a total of two bites with any of that in it. I was extremely disappointed for the price. Then when it was time to leave I had to ask TWICE for my waiter. We were very much forgotten. I won’t be going back.

we came here after visiting the ice skating rink across the street. the beer was great! my boyfriend works at a brewery in denver and he was very impressed by their setup. the food was also out of this world. i got the cauliflower tacos, they were so delicious that i would totally come back again for them. my boyfriend got the meatball pizza and he really enjoyed it… and i enjoyed eating the crust.
Rate is based off the beer. Had the Aha moment- that was milky looking and flavor seemed muted. Then tried the Kolsch and that had too much sulfur.

Lets just say this was a 3.5 star review but I rounded up because of the save on service that occurred. We arrived on a real busy Saturday Night at primetime . Shame on Marriott , our Hotel adjacent to This location for not telling us exactly how close this was to us !! We wandered around town a bit being turned away without reservations by 5 local establishments, then we finally found the Union Station Brewery, after several bouts with Directions- we normally plan better !This place is busy! A bustling brew pub atmosphere for sure . The host told us to our surprise they had a table momentarily and sat us right away. We lingered without staff contact for 12 minutes- we were starving!! Like I said the place was beyond busy at this point but looked like a real fun place so instead of leaving I went back up to the hostess station and voiced my concerns nicely. The host was super apologetic and within 60 seconds a very friendly waiter came by and immediately recovered the service and experience. Super friendly guy, from Atlanta got our orders in and drinks immediately. He actually save The evening for us as we were beyond starving from traveling and college tours.We ordered focaccia , calamari, a cheeseburger, shrimp scampi and nachos. We also tried the Providence Rugby Lager which was excellent as it did not tip the “too much hops” scale for me . Great beer!!The waiter whipped up a chocolate milk for my son who was beyond starving at this point, which is was delivered immediately. Focaccia was simple and my son thoroughly enjoys his bread . Burger was also Excellent according to my burger expert in residence.Calamari didn't meet my expectations, but my wife enjoyed it. Good quality product in the Land of the best calamari on earth, Rhode Island, but too much garlic all around- took away from the other ingredients . Tossed in garlic butter with creamy garlic aioli , one or the other , but not both may work , but not a fan of creamy sauces when Pickled Banana peppers and pickled red onions could be the star accompaniments .Again, just My personal preferences, but I have eaten calamari 20 times before in RI so I consider myself well versed in this territory.Shrimp scampi over pasta was excellent , but the nachos missed their mark - while the nachos portion was very big it lacked cheese and may have spent too much time under a heat lamp in the kitchen . Plenty of other ingredients as well as added grilled chicken ,which was very good on its own. Perhaps some queso could improve the situation and a little less char on the chips?All in all we would come again , perhaps when it’s a little less busy, but overall the experience was positive and deserves a second try.

Busy Saturday night with a PC basketball game on tap, but still seated promptly at a high top as requested. Started by sharing a Caesar salad, could have used a spoon to divide up the salad, but the croutons were great! Roasted half chicken was a very generous portion and very tasty, although the mashed potatoes not so much. 1/2 rack of St Louis style spare ribs very tasty as were the cole slaw and fries sides. Plenty of both meals to add to a doggie bag. No room for dessert tonight.

Really cool spot. The atmosphere was great. It was easy to get to. They held a free show with a band that is nationally known. The beer was decent and they made a great martini. The food though - horrible. I’m not picky with food and I couldn’t finish my meal. We ordered calamari and we had the plate in front of us the second we finished ordering, which shouldn’t happen. I appreciate not waiting super long for food but I at least expect to wait the time that it takes to cook. The calamari was double fried, super greasy, and definitely not originally cooked for us. We also ordered the Caesar salad and smoked meatballs. The Caesar salad was gross - I don’t even know how that happens. It was watery and flavorless. The smoked meatballs tasted like they just doused it in smokehouse seasoning and called it a day. If you wanna go to a cool spot with music and good drinks, this is the place but definitely don’t go hungry planning to have a good meal. We stopped at Burger King on the way home so clearly, we’re not super picky.
