    It's hard to get a good picture, but this place is a whole vibe. Located on the Monon path pretty close to the Hotel Carmichael. It's a brewing company set up in a garage with a simple outdoor seating area. We've gone here twice now when we've needed a break from Carmel Fest (July 4th). It's a great atmosphere with fun times and a good variety of tasty craft beverages. Blink and you'll miss it - and you definitely don't want to do that!

    I'm an OG mug club member so a bit biased but the new UBC has the same vibe as the old spot. There are some improvements including a larger tv and more taps. The old bar made it and no more hooks for mug clubbers. We have shelves. You want a good local pub then this your place.

    Union brewing is such a cool place right off the monon! They always have live music which is an A+ in my book. The vibe of this place during the day and at night is amazing. I also love that they are super dog friendly! Their beer is pretty good. It's a limited selection, but what they do have is good. They do usually have something for everyone. They have a lot of seating options, however you can opt to bring your own lawn chairs so you don't have to wait for a table to open up. It does get busy on the weekend!

    A good place to grab a beer off the Monon Trail. I use this place sometimes as a reward for running: I'll run on the Monon for a while until I get to Union, and then jog my sweaty self up to the bar and get a nice cold pint. I hate running, but I will run for beer. And they don't care at Union Brewing Company if I'm sweaty and out of breath. This isn't a fancy bar -- it's a come-as-you-are place. Some of the people seemed to know the bartenders, and they chatted while the bartenders whipped around helping everyone. There's a nice and friendly vibe in there. There are beer mugs hanging that belong to people, and apparently you can leave one and then just grab it when you come in and get it filled? That's a neat concept. When I was there, it was a nice sunny day, so Union has their doors open to the outdoor seating area, and the breeze was blowing in and it was pleasant as fark. There are seats outdoors just off the Monon, and there's also a little free community garden right by here.

    Outdoor Area

    Love this place! The best part about UBC is their outdoor area. It's a huge space with tons of seating and tables. Also, the area backs up to the Monon trail, so you can drink a beer and watch all the people go by on the Monon! I could sit out there for hours; it's such a nice, laid back atmosphere. The beer is good! Cask beer is Union Brewing's specialty. Cask means the beer undergoes some of the fermentation in a barrel. It's less carbonated than normal beer and has a slightly different taste. I tried their Red Irish Ale on cask. It wasn't for me, but I tried their Tropicannon IPA (New England IPA) and Raspberry Shandy. Both were FANTASTIC! I also tried a can of cider. Although the cider was not brewed at Union Brewing, it was absolutely delicious! I had a great experience at Union Brewing! If you've never been, Union Brewing Company is definitely worth a visit!

    I've always seen this place from the Monon but never been. We finally stopped in for a beer and loved it. Super chill environment and great for people watching. They have a lot of outdoor seating and large open windows with bar seating too. When we went in they were transitioning between new brewers, so only had guest taps. We can't wait to go back when they have some of their own beer on tap.

    A wonderful laid back bar with an excellent outdoor patio seating is how I would describe Union Brewing Company. It is in a strip mall in Carmel and the location is perfect for this type of bar. The beer selection is decent and they have a stout that is wonderful and tastes good. The bartenders are great and happy to offer you samples of whatever beer you want to try on tap. The quality of beer at Union Brewing Company is not what I am used to from being at other breweries in Indy, which is probably what makes it unique and stand out from the competition. It is a good place to unwind and relax after a long day at work, and in the end, that is what really matters to me. Union Brewing Company is a great bar to hangout with friends and family, and I always look forward to coming here for a beer and conversation.

    Came here the other day to try the place. It's a great location just off the bike trail with a spacious patio. The inside itself is pretty small and tight, but it's got some charm. The beer options were limited. They had about 4 taps of their own beer and 4 guest taps. We tried the milk stout and the moroccan blonde. The blonde was actually really good, slightly sweet and well balanced. Unfortunately, the milk stout was pretty bad. Tasted lots of bitterness in it similar to 100% dark chocolate and even some soapy off flavors in the beer. TLDR: Patio is great, and stick to the lighter beers

    Limited selection that appeals to me, but the music here - i think they stole my playlist!! And as soon as they have 2 that match my palate, I'll be back! Nice location, off monon, dogs allowed and nice breeze. Recommended. Some smartassery present but that's better than dealing with dumbasses.

    The best chill place around! Come and enjoy The outdoor area is second to none. The vine is second to none. Beer selection works.

    Ask the Community - Union Brewing Company

    Can we bring food in?

    I have seen people bring outside food into the brewery, so I would say yes. I do not recall any signs in the brewery stating that you cannot bring in outside food. You should be Ok.

    Can I bring my 18 tear old with me?

    Lots of people bring kids and sit outside to enjoy the patio and adjacent areas especially when they have live music. Only 21 can enter the inside portion of the business.

Three members of our group ordered Chicken Alfredo, and all said that it was very dry with so little sauce that it looked like no sauce at all. Two requested extra sauce from our server and one just didn't eat hers at all. It took quite some time for someone from the kitchen to bring the extra sauce, by which time the others had finished eating. They were all charged for the extra sauce, even though it had been missing from their entrées. The server hadn't checked back with us or offered refills. Two in our group ordered salads, and they were happy with them. I observed two employees sitting on a bench, having a conversation while it appeared that tables needed to be bussed and cleaned. We waited a long time for our server to bring our checks, and then longer for our payments to be taken. I also had a recent experience with a carry out order where some of the items I had ordered were missing when I picked up the food, even though I had been charged for them. I was picking up an order to take to work so I didn't have time to return and pick up the items missing from the order. Crafters has a great atmosphere but improvement is needed in both food and service.
