    I have a long history with this building and it's previous owner, who is respectfully memorialized…read morewith a mural (RIP Hack). Used to be called The Pine Lounge. People who used to go to it now own it, so while the name has changed and some required changes have taken place (RIP the old record jukebox!) it spiritually feels like the same friendly place, with a new outdoors and a great local vibe. Not exactly for BU students, but not exactly NOT, either. They don't mind much who comes in as long as you're respectful. Buy a shirt. Make it your local spot if you live nearby, or if you want to escape the chaos of downtown. The pizzeria next door is actually pretty good too. Enjoy.

This renovated house holds the pub and a pizzarria that share a common back area outside where people can smoke cigarettes, cigars and occasionally other substances. The back was filled with college students and locals. Some a bit more jolly on chemical induced happiness. A group of student aged kids were listening to a kid with a guitar try to sing, but they were mostly enjoying the conversations that occupy minds of similar aged people. Inside was a clean area with tables and the bar. A great digital jukebox that will eat your bills faster than you can drink your well priced beverages. I had a draft Yeungling for $3 and double Tito's and soda for $7. Long pours, friendly staff and an enjoyable crowd. 3 different television monitors in case you wanted to follow the ladies US Football (Soccer) squad grab a nice World Cup qualifier round against the lady Kiwis. We stayed in a BnB about a block North on Rotary Ave. a very safe, student filled area of post WWII homes with great front porches to enjoy the late Summer weather

    Cannot wait to go back! We needed snacks and a drink and we needed a good drive on a Sunday! So…read moreglad we stopped here, will absolutely be a new place to get our favorites! The vibe of this place is exactly what's needed in America. I wish there were more places like the Union Hotel. It looks so fun and funky, everything is clean and I'm being serious, it's clean! Fried cheese curds and fried pickles...if that's all we ordered we were already hooked! Then our wings came!!! Pry the sauces out of my hands, I had it on my face, up my arms, the wings were exactly what you beg for anywhere else!! The sweetest and most beautiful bartender was an absolute angel getting our drinks and food! Extremely conscientious and attentive during busy moments! We cannot wait to go back...it was a fantastic reminder of what we used to have local to us! 10/10 all the way around!

We tried the Fried Pierogies which were covered with a Buffalo sour cream sauce, the Texas Roadhouse Burger and the Chicken Philly Cheesesteak. I also substituted the French fries for sweet potato waffle fries which were excellent and fried to perfection. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone and we will definitely be back!
