    Fish Tacos
    Steffie T.

    I used to go here more frequently to drink at the bar, so this time is the first in a long time and I still enjoy them as much as I used to. My Mediterranean bowl was excellent and had everything I wanted, including crisps to dip into the hummus. The fish taco were crunchy and came with a side, and the sweet potato fries were crispy and delectable. They has a nice selection of beer to choose from too, so you'll always have options. Our waitress (and really any bartender I've ever had since I've first been) was great and served us from start to finish. Definitely a place for a brew and bite to eat if you're nearby.

    This is another staple in VB that I've visited many times before. They used to have an amazing brunch that's sadly discontinued :( so we decided to try them out for a nice casual dinner and the flavors were beyond what we could have hoped for. Our server was attentive and quick to help us find recommendations. We ordered their beer battered fish and chips that came out fresh and crispy! That's the best combo. The other entree we ordered was the black and bleu burger (I'm a huge bleu cheese lover) and the crumbles added the perfect contrast with the savory patty. Also, those sweet potato fries are to die for and I couldn't stop eating them! We went on Friday when they had live music, so it created a nice cozy feel for really anyone that wants an enjoyable night out with some good eats!

    Came here with higher hopes honestly. It's a nice, chill location with modern vibes. They weren't that busy but it took a while for us to be served. The food and drink menus aren't extensive by any means. When we finally got our food, the only thing hot was the kids meal. The fries are delicious! They do have happy hour.

    We were at Union Alehouse recently for a friend's retirement party. The staff was very accommodating to help with setting everything up. The food was excellent and everyone had a great time here.

    I stopped by Union Ale House on a Monday night because I had a craving for a really good burger and let me tell you, I am so glad I did. We were seated right away and I couldn't help but notice the rustic vibes and decor in this place, it was very nice. After looking over the menu, I was torn between the Elote Burger or the Whiskey Row Burger. The server mentioned that both were great but recommended the Whiskey Row Burger. All burgers are served either 'traditional' or 'smashed' so I chose the smashed option with Truffle Fries. As we waited, I ordered the Union Margarita which included fresh, squeezed orange juice and it was great! Once the burger arrived, I was shocked to see how big the 'smashed' patties were. The Whiskey Row included bourbon bacon jam and blue cheese crumbles on a brioche bun! It was absolutely delicious and the burger was cooked perfectly!!! The sweetness from the jam mixed with the saltiness of the blue cheese created the perfect combination. The truffle fries were good as well but I feel lacked the abundant, truffle flavor. I highly recommend stopping by Union Ale House to try their drinks and their amazing burgers! The staff was nice and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. They offer great, Happy Hour specials and have live music on the weekends. Definitely check them out!!!

    Everything was amazing! We had a couple of beers, the nachos, and burgers. It was fresh and super flavorful. The restaurant is clean and tastefully decorated/inviting. The service was on point & we will definitely be back!

    Quite the selection!

    Yesterday evening was my 3rd visit to Union and they just keep getting better. If it wasn't such a drive for me, I'd probably be here weekly. Parking here is private lot and is a little tricky to access if you're eastbound on the Blvd. You'll have to turn onto Great Neck, turn into a shopping center and wind your way around to the restaurant. It's easy to access if you're heading west on the Blvd. Last night, it was just hubby and I, so we sat at the bar. It was a fairly quiet Sunday evening and it looked like half the restaurant was not in use, but the bar was lively. They had a few games on, which is always a plus for us. Of note, they have music bingo on Sunday evenings, which is a good opportunity to try to win a gift card. The bartender was engaging and super friendly. She had great recommendations for us. Hubby opted for steak tacos. He liked the flavor, but the portion size was more like a small tapas or non-shareable appetizer. There was plenty on the menu he wanted to try and will opt for something else next trip. I had the Med bowl with grilled chicken. This entree, on the other hand, was huge! I loved the pita wedges and the hummus was a great addition. All ingredients were really fresh and tasty. I've always had a good experience here and I look forward to returning!

    Average bar/pub food. The service was a bit slow for a Friday night. The ambiance is fine.

    Are reservations needed?

    Not at all unless it's a huge crowd. Then I would call to ask.

    Another great meal with Family at Park Lane Tavern. Very lively atmosphere because of Octoberfest…read morebeing celebrated already and of course Thursday Night Football. The food and service were great as usual. I had Fish & Chips. The Fish was cooked perfectly and served with the right amount of fries. After looking at the Dessert Menu, I couldn't resist the Guinness Brownie Sundae. Guinness Stout brownie topped with vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream & toasted almonds. Oh my goodness it was amazing and the perfect ending to a great dinner. Thanks Park Lane for a very enjoyable evening. I will definitely be back.

    We stumbled upon this neighborhood Tavern and what a find it was. First visit was on a Saturday…read moreevening and surprisingly not busy around 6;30 pm. We returned a second time and super busy on a Tuesday same time-why? Fish and Chips Thursday (1/2 price). Not too long of a wait though -1/2 hour and went fast as we had a drink at the Bar. We tried a couple of appetizers-goat cheese dip and fire cracker shrimp-both tasty. The Bacon stuffed Gouda burger was ordered on both visits -Ground Chuck/Proper Tavern Burger and it was that good! Fish and Chips were also ordered both visits-perfectly battered Haddock living up to the Tavern billing. The Tavern Monte Cristo is one to try. Battered and fried sandwich is never a bad idea-we loved it! We had a mix of draft beers (import)-they had Carlsberg (Danish) which isn't easy to find as well we had a Scottish Ale. Overall, an ample import draft list. Service was super engaged and upbeat from beginning to end on both visits. They are a Futbol Tavern and they mentioned they do get quite busy and have an even more of a fun atmosphere during the season-too bad we only visit during the Futbol off season-summer. We saw banners for Oktoberfest celebrations. Specials Monday-Thursday including Whiskey, wine and Wellington! Also, have a couple of sister locations in Hampton and Fredericksburg. Most definitely has been added to our must stops when visiting the Beach!

    Visit: 21Aug2026 I…read moredefinitely want to give a huge shoutout to Colton! This location was extremely busy and packed when I visited, and honestly, that's usually a good sign...when a place stays that busy, clearly something is going right. What really stood out to me, though, was Colton. He went well beyond what I would normally expect from someone working the host/to-go area. He personally made sure my steak was exactly how I wanted it and genuinely seemed concerned about whether I was happy with my order. That type of customer service deserves recognition. He knows how to take care of customers, and in my opinion, he deserves a raise! I do think there is an opportunity for improvement when it comes to management. There was a manager positioned at the front during my visit, and while I obviously don't know her personally or whether she is generally a nice person, her disposition toward customers did not come across as particularly friendly or welcoming. More importantly, I noticed a clear difference in how warmly she interacted with certain customers versus others. When you're in a management position, customers should feel like they're receiving the same level of courtesy and hospitality across the board..you shouldn't pick and choose who gets the friendly version of you. It was especially noticeable because she remained at the front for much of the time, closely overseeing the hosts, so those of us waiting on to-go orders could clearly observe the differences in her interactions with different patrons. If you're going to be that visible and hands-on with your staff, I think it's even more important to model the same customer service you expect from them. Thankfully, Colton did exactly that. Despite how packed and hectic the restaurant was, he remained attentive, personable, and genuinely cared about making sure I left satisfied. Colton was absolutely amazing and was easily the standout of my experience. Management should recognize him because employees who care about customers like that are a huge part of why people come back.
