I took time to visit this place and finally was invited for a trivia night by my friends. I was hoping this would be a good place but I was not too excited after visiting. Since it's trivia night place was crowded but that wasn't the problem. They have huge variety of beer but they were not great in taste for me. They have pour your beer and it's a bit tough to get a full glass on our own with out the foam :) Food was average too. We tried nachos and fries and I would say they were decent. But overall a disappointment beer to my taste read more

Bar was impressive and specials were less expensive than expected. Dodd was very tasty, and the overall experience was enjoyable.

Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Bourbon Sriracha pizza with bacon (on my half) on a cauliflower crust. Absolutely delicious. Great beers and cocktails too. Awesome bartenders and service. No complaints! read more

Fantastic addition to the Eagan area. Located in the former home of Time Out and BlueStone, I hope this Union 32 Crafthouse breaks the curse of this particular retail spot. Its contemporary and "of the moment" proposition should resonate with working professionals in the area looking for a new happy hour location and local residents searching for a fun new watering-hole alike. As others have pointed out, there is a "wall of beer" self serve option and that is what I would recommend for anyone's first visit. I particularly liked the sour bomb and blonde ale options. It's a fun user experience and engaging way to explore new beers. Everyone in my party created their own flights of beer. It appears the "indoor" food truck options rotate since most of the food mentioned in other reviews were not on the menu today. I had the bacon ranch sandwich with fries. Pretty decent sandwich and good fries. I would say the fries are a bit greasy. Room for improvement but not terrible. read more

Good beer and good wings. Live music on Thursday night that was lively. I'm not even a beer guy but their in house beer is good. Buffalo wings had just enough but not too much spice. Two thumbs up on the wings. Staff was friendly and even will give you a sample of their beers which was helpful. I would recommend this as a nice place to meet up with friends to watch a game, have a snack/meal, and a beer! read more

Union 32 Craft House - Buffalo wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

I'm surprised to see that Union 32 doesn't have more positive reviews. It's a great brewery with a large selections of beer. You can order at the bar or do self-serve, there's food, games, free popcorn, patio seating....what more could you need? We ventured out to Eagan to drink some beer on a Saturday and we had a lot of fun. We ordered beers from the bar and did self-serve. They have a large selection that is constantly rotating and the variety was great. I had an apricot ale and a sangria that were both really good. We ordered some food, prices were a little high, but you get good quality food. We had a burger and fries. Fries were fresh/hand cut. The burger had a lot of flavor and overall we were both satisfied. The free popcorn is a nice addition for snacking and the patio was really nice. The service here was absolutely amazing from explaining how everything worked, getting us menus, making beer recommendations, and letting us sample beers before purchase. There are large TVs if your wanting to watch a game and they offer happy hour special throughout the week. If you haven't tried Urban 32 I would definitely recommend it, especially for the beer selection. read more

It looks like they had only had a few employees working- the lady who took our order and made our drinks was so nice and so fast!! The drinks were delicious. The food was good. I do wish they had more of a variety on their food menu though. Overall the restaurant was unique and cool, tons of beer where you can pour your own glass, and inside and outside were clean and spacious. We would come back! read more

Fun new concept in a tap room! (Kind of a tap room plus). It's a big space with plenty of seating - bar, high tops and a large patio. You can choose to sit at the bar and be served or serve yourself when sitting elsewhere. The bar serves all MN made beverages, from beer to spirits to wine. If you're there for the beer, the best bet is to get a card from the bar that allows you to pour your own from the beer wall. You give them a credit card to connect to the beer card and off you go. "Beer Ambassadors" are waiting to show you how to properly pour a beer and to give you tops on which of the 32 options you're likely to enjoy based on your tastes. You can choose a 16 oz. or 8 oz. glass or pour yourself a flight of 4 small glasses. The Beer Ambassador will show you how to use the card to get the beer. When you're done for the night, go back to the bar where they'll run your beer card to see how many ounces you consumed and charge your credit card. The only reason I have it 4 instead of 5 stars is that they just have some kinks to work out with the beer card system. There is one station to pick up the card and and to pay. That resulted in a long line the night we were there - and it wasn't very busy. Part of the reason for the slowness is that they have to explain the system to every new person who walks up. I'm sure they'll work this out. We did t try any of the food they have onsite (an indoor food truck!) so can't comment. It's a great spot, fun concept and the staff is really friendly! We'll be back. read more

Came here with a group of friends which is a great spot to hang out for hours and casually eat/drink at your own pace. All the beer is self serve and you are charged by the oz. You can fill a full pint or make yourself a flight from a selection of about 40 beers that rotate weekly/monthly. Ordering food is somewhat like a food truck in the corner of the brewery. You order when you want and they bring the food out when it's ready. I tried a couple flights of beers to sample as many as possible and actually found an IPA I really enjoyed. Guavatron by Big Axe. It's not too hoppy but very strong and sweet. For food we ordered a huge assortment: and I'll rank them here from best to worst: cheeseburger sliders, cheese curds, chicken strips, fried pickles, chipotle chicken pizza and fish tacos. Everything came out super hot and was fresh. The flavor was solid on a lot of it but it was basically your standard greasy food truck/bar food. come for the beer and snacks read more

Went on Friday night for the first time, and was a little put off by all of the kids there for the Eagan football game. I know Union 32 serves food too, and that it's somewhere you can take your kids, which is great. But on a Friday night it wasn't what I wanted to be surrounded by, and I could tell that a lot of other patrons felt the same. The wait was long, but wasn't a big deal because there was space to stand around or sit and talk. I loved the free popcorn! It was a great addition to the beers I tried. Union 32's concept is cool, and the beer cards are convenient. It was also nice to play bartender and pull my own beer, even though I was horrible at it. The bartender by the tap wall was really nice and helped me out, without making me feel dumb or uneducated. The elevated bar food menu was interesting - I had the Marky Mark, and it's definitely something I would order again. read more

The concept of picking and pouring your own beer sounds great in practice, but isn't great on execution. That combined with having to go up to a window to order food (which was mediocre at best), seems to cut out the service experience, which takes away from making this a great place and makes it harder to base what to tip for. read more

We came here on a Friday night to use our PubPasses, worked well they gave us a selection. The food I'd say was very subpar. We got cheese curds, bc tacos, and a bbq chicken sandwich. The sauce with the cheese curds was disgusting... RIP. the salsa with the tacos... tasted like Pace :/ the service was great but i wouldn't return because of the food quality. for $16 for an entree id expect better flavor. read more

This is such a cool concept that I wish every city had a place like union 32! A great outdoor patio and indoor seating with tons of tables, TVs..which is such a great place for a family/friends gathering. If you've never been here before it's kind of confusing, but you go to the bar counter and get a scan card and that's what you use to pour your own draft beers. They have tons of different beers that changes often and you can also get it in flights, 5 oz, 16 oz, whatever you prefer. For food, they have an area where you walk up to order and they bring you out your food. I had the pork tacos which was very good, I added the hot sauce that was on the table caddy (very spicy) but so good. The cheese curds weren't my favorite, but the side of chips were delicious. I'm not even a big beer fan and I still loved this place! read more

They only have local MN made beer and wine. Very open and minimal industrial feel. They have a food truck I had a brat for 5.00 it was nothing special but I did enjoy the toasted bun they used. I ate it all too so it kept me from getting hangry. I would not choose to go here by myself or with a group of lady friends but in a mixed crowd I would not object to finding myself here once again for a drink or two if the majority wanted to go. It really is not my jam- I feel it probably appeals to the people that enjoy a beer and sports bar more. read more

I like the idea behind this place but feel like I need to go back and experience it again. Clearly people come for the beer, or at least that is why we picked it. We met up with family anticipating to eat dinner however they'd had a late lunch so we just had appetizers. I was not really impressed with the apps. We had loaded fries that had a cheese sauce including onions and peppers. it was hardly hot when we got them and so eating this type of thing cold, not so good and not very appealing. We also got the pretzel sticks and cheese curds. Cheese curds were pretty typical but the pretzel sticks were weird. The place is pretty much a self-serve kind of deal, which is obviously the point but I had to seek out plates from a random employee just standing around. It might have been because we had a table outside, but we didn't have any silverware or napkins, none of which was brought to us after our food was delivered. But the beer - so we stopped at the bar on our way into the restaurant and in exchange for giving them your credit card they put your information into the system and apply it towards a Union 32 card then you're able to place this card above the tap you want and pour as much or as little as you'd like. They have different sized glasses and if you go for the sample sizes there are boxes to write your beers of choice on (in chalk) and of course carry your beers. The cool thing is you know exactly how much ounces your pour is and how much it is costing you each time and the bill is even itemized this way. There are lots of Minnesota beers to sample and they have a board above the taps that lists them out, as well as an attendant nearby to help answer questions. read more

Brewery meets food truck in an airy, open setting. With 32 self-pour taps offering Minnesota beers, the experience is more about the beer than the food. Food is available at the counter inside but the options are limited to about 12 different items from sides like cheese curds and fries to sandwiches and a burger. The wings were the only thing tried on the first visit. They were ok. The main question we had was how do we tip? We sat at the bar and ordered our food, but we poured all our beers. Do we tip on food only? And, if you sit at a table, order your own food, and pour your own beer, should you tip at all? How does it work? 1. Open a tab at the bar or with one of the beer ambassador using your state ID and a credit card in exchange for a pour card. 2. Choose your drink size, taster, 12 oz. or pints. 3. At the wall of taps, put your card on handle slot to pour - Information about every drink is available on the screen below the pour handle and the card registers the ounces poured. Good to Know: 1. The pour card is set to deactivate after pouring 32 oz. for each person on the card and you can have up to 7 people on the card and you'll have to have it reactivated by an employee. 2. Full service is available at the bar only. 3. Small arcade in the back and a patio with bags. 4. Beer is charged by the ounce and the costs are listed on the screen above the beer wall. read more

Interesting concept. 32 self-pour taps on the wall and a decent number of taps (including Union 32s own) behind the bar. You can do either option. Going with the wall requires putting up a credit card in exchange for a beer card that you use to fill up your glasses using the wall taps. We weren't there at a particularly busy time, but I could envision this turning into a zoo on really busy nights (picture nights during future Viking training camps). This night it worked pretty well. The food is all done thru the food truck like entity that is set up in the far back corner with a menu that encompasses the standard burgers, taco, sandwiches and the like plus a tempting appetizer section. We just ordered from that section given the time of day and went with the Final Final Fries, Pretzel Sticks, and Cheese Curds. Those are pretty standard bar fare. The curds came with a strawberry chipotle jam that is definitely different than the typical ketchup accompaniment. A nice change up. The fries were loaded up with cheese sauce, peppers and onions, and shredded cheese heaped on top. Pretzel sticks were too far on the other end of the table so I didn't get to try those (I was focused on the fries anyway, they were really good). Its a large building in at least the third iteration of establishments in that spot. Previous attempts had failed there due to the lack of surrounding population and development. That is changing now with the Vikings coming into the area across the road so they have gotten in at the right time in my opinion. Big indoor spot with plenty of space and a large patio. Its directly in the flightpath of MSP so if you are outside you will be fighting the planes on approach to hear your companions speak. Its not that bad though. Given the beer options you won't have a problem finding something to your liking and the food options are enough to guarantee that you won't leave hungry. There is room for improvement but they have a good baseline established. Once the immediate area undergoes the expected development it will be a gold mine. read more

This place is awesome! 32 beers on tap on the pour your own beer wall. I tried 6 beers, you can make your own flights or just drink pints, you pay per ounce. I had the burger and my friend had the roast beef, both were excellent! I would be here every week if I lived in MN. One of the owners came over and spoke with us, very nice. The bartenders were incredibly nice, they explain the whole procedure to you and even show you exactly how everything works. read more

The whole "pour your own beer" concept is really cool unless you're like me (and most of the people around me) and waste most of your pour on foam. We had gone there to attempt to catch the last bit of sun on a 70 degree day but the patio was unfortunately shaded over by the time we got there so we ended up inside. The place was really busy on a Friday night but they still had a few tables left and they have some games available to play (we grabbed checkers) while we waited for our food! My table got the BBQ burger and a chipotle chicken wrap and they were good but i will note - don't expect to fill up on the side of fries. It was a really skimpy handful! Overall, I'd probably go again for the atmosphere but might ask someone else to do my pouring for me ;) read more

Union 32 Craft House - Chipotle Chicken Wrap with a pretty lacking side of fries. - Sports Bars Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

Solid brewery, decent food, upbeat and knowledgeable staff. A+ for cleanliness and size of space.

This is a fun place to grab a beer and a snack. The self serve option is a cool feature if you have never tried it. They have a food truck inside the building and food is great but a little overpriced. The staff is friendly and the space is kid friendly. read more

I was leery of Union 32. I had read some less than stellar reviews. So I dismissed it as an option until it came on my husband's radar. And it was, "yeah, I've heard of that place. We can try it it out." It was a trick to find, it was tucked in a business park. It was a Friday and I really needed some adult recreation! I couldn't get there quick enough! When we walked in I was a bit confused as to how it operated, but quickly figured it out. We picked our high top table in front of the food truck/finger food counter and strolled over to the beer wall. Oh my gosh! It was as if a light shone down from the barley and hops heavens! I get giddy thinking of it as I type! A wall of beer, 32 taps, AT MY FINGERTIPS! All with numbers and corresponding descriptions of the beers on big screens above the taps. You can sample by the ounce, create a flight and once you find your favorite you can pour a pint! And to top it off, there were a great many that were local brews that I'd heard about on social media. I love it! We sampled a few of their appetizers including chicken fingers, curds and pretzel bites. They were all good and delicious with the many beers we sampled. To top it off, it was busy and another couple asked to share our table. Turns out our kids all go to the same school and we are from the same community. They tried to teach me to play cribbage but I failed miserably. Union 32 was so much fun and I look forward to going back. Soon. read more

I'm a fan! They do a great job of making sure there are employees to help you if you've never used the pours before, but once you've got the hang of it, it's a nice set up. You control your spending and don't have to get a full glass. Lots of great options that rotate often. "Food truck" options are delicious. Service at actual bar is a little slow, especially if you're just trying to close out your tab, but otherwise it's a good happy hour stop read more

This place had a lot of hype so I was excited to try it. The positive is the novelty of using a card and helping your self to 32 different taps. The reality soon follows. You pay for foam. If you don't know all your Minnesota beers you're wondering around kind of feeling like your in the way of others doing the same. However they are very helpful too assist you. The food wasn't anything special. Very average standard bar food. All in all it was ok but not a place where I felt I'd let me to go back or recommend to a friend. I was there with a group from work . We had the smothered Fries, wings, chips & Guac, cheese curds, tacos. The wings were the only thing that I thought had some flavor. Everything was bland. Think old country buffet does bar food. They are definitely trying a new innovative approach too the local beer scene but they don't offer much else. read more

Interesting place. Food was good beer was good but there was a definite disconnect in the ordering. The food is ordered like a food truck and then servers bring it to the table. Bartender offered to put in our order for us but forgot. We waited quite awhile before we realized the error. Self serve from the side taps which is good IF one knows how to pour properly read more

If IPAs and hoppy beers are your style, you might get better enjoyment out of this place. I wanted to like it because of a larger selection of beer, but I tried 7 or 8 beers in styles I normally like and didn't care for any of them. The setup here is a little chaotic and the food is definitely overpriced for the portion size and quality. I don't know that I would try it again. We came on a Friday night around 5:00 and it was definitely crowded. They told us a little bit about the setup and sat us at a table. Basically, you get a card to use that they charge you based on how much you pour. The food is a separate area and you have to order food there (you don't have to pay there if you have an open tab), but we just paid at the window. We build a flight from multiple beers, but I didn't find any of them that I loved. Most of the beers were overly hoppy for my palate. I had a stout that was just too bitter as well, which was disappointing. Our food actually came out fairly quickly, but I was really disappointed with the size of them. We ordered the wings with the cajun dry rub, but for $13 it was only 8 small wings. The dry rub was pretty decent but they were a little dry and overcooked. The cheese in the curds was good, but for $10 it was a pretty small portion and the batter was a little soggy and bland. It came with a strawberry sauce, which was surprisingly tasty and complemented the cheese. Unfortunately, with the two of us sharing, we left there pretty hungry. Service isn't much here. They will bring your food and occasionally clear your glasses if you have time, but I wouldn't say they have real service. You have to go to the bar to get your card and to pay when you finish. It's a little strange how it's set up. I wish they had better food and better beers. I might come back again if they rotated the beer selection, but I would definitely pass on the food. read more

Who would have thought a micro brewery in Eagan? Stumbled across this when killing for some a mutual location across many country- workers, and was more than pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed a great patio (awesome for aviation buffs with flights in MSP Approach), food quick-food, and amazing tap selection. Might be better micro brews in the Twin Cities, but this place is a definitely must when in the Southern Suburbs. read more

A little confused when first time, but after you figure out what to do cool concept. Seat yourself, table or bar. Bar super friendly bartenders will help you. If you sit at a table it's a bit more work. For food you go to windows and order food, they give you a number and they will bring you. Have to pay for food separate. Then walk up to bar and order beers or get a self service beer card. You pay by the ounce, nice selection of local beers. Food was average, outdoor seating, table games and nice atmosphere. read more

Excellent food and beer! We had pizza and wings and they were both fantastic. Will definitely go there again.

Grabbed lunch on the fly since we were in the area. Great food and awesome service! Highly recommend!

Excellent dry rub wings and a very enjoyable light beer offering on tap. Love the food truck options indoors. These guys have hit the mark! Well done! read more

Never had a bad experience here. There is plenty selection of beer to choose from (32 taps), ranging from Pilsner to IPA to stout to sour beers. You pay by the ounce so you can choose whatever size you like and there are flights available to sample different beers and chalk to mark down what beer each slot corresponds to. Besides the free popcorn, the food here is pretty tasty and has always come out relatively quick. The environment is suitable for social gatherings of any kind and the patio is large. I have been here more than once and will continue to keep coming here! read more

Stopped in after a flight to MSP. Wasn't very clear on how to get service or what younhad to do to het drinks. I finally asked another table what the situation was & informed that during happy hour if you order a Union 32 beer at the bar it's $2 cheaper than if you were to get a card to pour your own from the wall. Opted to try a home brewed beer from the bar. It was decent. Ordered a couple of appetizers. Bourbon Sriracha Brussels sprouts which was great & cheese curds that had a strawberry jam type sauce. The strawberry dipping dauce was a complete fail as it did not pair well with the cheese curd flavor. Asked the food runners if we could swap out the strawberry for ranch & they said there was a charge for more sauces. We didn't even use a teaspoon of the strawberry sauce - really crappy they wouldn't just swap it out. I went to the food counter myself & asked a different person & she agreed the sauce was gross on the cheese curds & graciously swapped it out for us. Venue seems like it would be great for summer night patio seating. Inside is decent but does get loud. Would go back if in the area & have the time. read more

Resounding meh. Expensive. Food from their "food truck" is not really a truck and the food is a bummer. What's great about real food trucks at tap rooms is that actual food trucks almost always serve good food (or they don't last) so this set up is sub-optimal. My kids didn't finish the cheese curds which is as resounding of a commentary as there is. The self-pour thing is neat, but the beer selection is weird. Totally local, which I appreciate, but some fun out of state ones would be fun. Also, they had almost one style between blondes, lagers, alts, and kolsches. Only two IPAs? Whatevs. It was a fun place to try, I'd go back I guess, but I'd hope for more diversity from 30 taps and better food. read more

Good location and nice facility. However I was not impressed with the service. Not friendly, not smiling and didn't seem to know very much about the selection they had. The pork tacos were delicious, but overpriced. read more

Ordered a large takeout order tonight from Union 32. Pick up was fast, easy and the food was even better. Each meal was labeled (huge plus), sealed and tamper proof and the food was excellent! Employees were friendly and everyone was safely spaced at tables. Great place to support during these times. Will be ordering again soon! read more

Food, beer, service, and staff have been excellent every time that we've gone. We like to try new places, but we can't help but keep coming back here! read more

i love that you can sample many rotating craft beers from around the state! Love the concept of beers on the wall to try. union 32 has a full bar for my non-beer drinking friends. They also have at least a half dozen of their own beers. Cryo Pop IPA is a favorite. I sweet dream about a beer they made around Halloween called Rosemary's Baby with 6.66% alcohol. So clever and an amazing rosemary IPA. Cannot go wrong with their scratch kitchen that really elevates bar food, great indoor space and large patio. It's near the Viking training facility. My friend has seen players there, but I haven't yet. read more

I like Union 32, It's a good fun local concept. They only serve Minnesota beer, Minnesota wine and Minnesota spirits which I think is cool. The poor your own beer concept is a little gimmicky for me and doesn't add anything. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would because I don't like the food truck concept where I have to go to the window to order. And the food was good but not great bar fair. I rounded my review to four stars because Union 32 is still really new and they need some time to work everything out. read more

Meh, ok. If you like the kind of place that you have to do it all yourself. This is the place for you. Food was decent. Everything is essentially self serve. Interesting business plan but I don't expect to go back anytime soon. If I'm going out I don't need to serve myself. I can get my own beer at home. read more
