I wish I could rate a 3.5 here, but I digress. I love the Union Jack, don't get me wrong, but it isn't without it's flaws. They basically have the best draft list in the area most of the time and the food is decent with the wings being the best around. It's a neighborhood bar, so the crowd is as such, not to upscale, but not terrible. I've been going there twice a week for a year or so and I still dig it. However, the beer list does come and go. Some weeks there will be a good six beers on there that I love. Other weeks though, I'm lucky if there is one or two. The real problem is that they sometimes get caught up in similar styles, so it's all IPAs or all stouts. I like them both, but I don't want to drink either all day. The only other problem is that it is cash only and the ATM is crap. I agree with some other reviewers; I would rather pay a little more and be able to use a credit card than depend on that ATM. Other than that, it's a great place. read more

I love the jerk wings and beer choices. The wings are grilled and then bathed in jerk sauce. Spicy and delicious

I've just moved to the area and this place has by far the best WINGS and selection of beers. Service was good, atmosphere comfortable as well. You should go here! read more

Time for me to update this place. I've become a frequenter of this location. I love the wings they serve and onion rings. I've not had much else in the food area. I have had a lot of beer, all of the craft beer variety. I like the beer list that gets tossed out. It is fun to search for the new offerings I have tried to attend a few of their special events, but not arrived in time to get something free. No problem, I am there for the friends and beer. read more

Right off the bat, I'm going to say that this place frustrates me as they only take cash. Unless, I'm going straight to a strip club, it is unlikely that I'm carrying around cash with me. Which is a bummer as I do like Union Jack's Pub's beer selection. They have a changing selection on tap. This can be good and bad. If you like something one time it might not be there again. However, changing things up in life is good. Right? Also, expect to fight for a table so look towards the bar instead. I was fortunate to look like a sad puppy and a kind elderly man hinted to me that he was about to leave his table. It is a tight pub. I enjoyed their chicken tenders though I hear good things about the wings. I was on a double date so I avoided them so not to get sloppy. read more

I've been to Union Jacks more times than I can remember. They have a great selection of rotating beers on draft and the wings and fries are usually fantastic. I like the wings so much that I've never gotten anything other than wings with fries. It can get very busy on the weekends. Unfortunately, the food prices have increased quite a bit in the five years I've been going there. 10 wings with fries are now going to run you about $12 with tax. I can see spending this kind of money on the wings if they were large, but the size of the wings varies greatly. One time you will get 10 wings that are so large you can barely finish them and the next time they are so small you could eat two dozen. I'll continue to go there occasionally for the beers, but I at the current prices and size inconsistencies I'm done with the wings. read more

Everybody was raving about Union Jack's but I was wary at first... finally a few friends convinced me to tag along. I was blown away by the beer list and variety of liquor, not to mention the food is spectacular!!! I reccomend the Thai-Sesame or Southern Country wings, but Honey-Carib with a side of bleu cheese and hot sauce is my all around favorite!! The crowd has always been super friendly and the service is spectacular.. Not to mention the owner has been very personable every time I've visited. By far one of the best small-town pubs I have ever experienced! read more

This is an awesome little place. It's cozy and kitschy inside, a nice place to spend a night with buddies or on an informal date. Their beer selection is great! (It's the only place I've been to in the area that has anything by Jolly Pumpkin brewery on draught). The food I had was a little lackluster, but honestly they serve your average pub fare so it's good enough so go with some good beer. If you're a beer snob, or just looking for a cool little place to hang out in Glenside, I suggest hitting this place up. read more

As has been mentioned, the beer selection and the wings are great. In fact, the wings are definitely the best in the area, and the only place that I can think of that gives Jack's a run for their money is Tangier over on Lombard in Philadelphia. The only non-standard flavor I've ever tried were the Honey-Carib, which were good, but I see no reason to ever venture outside of the standard mild and hot. I've also tried the crab cakes and the burger and have had surprising success with both. Parking sucks, the booths are uncomfortable and whether due to acoustics or inebriation, it always manages to be the loudest place on Earth, but the beer and the food make it worth it. read more

Best place to pick up some wings and fries when you just need some greasy goodness. We like to sit at the bar, order takeout, and have a few cocktails while we wait. Get the mild, extra crispy. read more

This place is one of my favorites that I discovered while living in Philly for a few years. Everything on this menu is great. Over the times I've been we've had the wings (honey BBQ), crab cake plate (YUM!), fish and chips (best I've ever had), thai steak salad (HUGE salad, amazing flavor), buffalo chicken steak (more meat that you can handle), and the ju-ju steak (perfect for big meat eaters, carribean flavor in a huge portion w/ mashed potatoes). Tap list is always changing so that's another major plus to this place, along with the friendly service and large TV's to watch too! This place gets crowded, so make sure you're patient when you arrive on a Friday or Saturday - IT'S ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT! read more

They say they have the best wings of Glenside and they def do, their wings are so delicious and they have different type of sauces for different taste, the place is small inside but if the weather is good maybe you can find a table outside, my girlfriend always orders the loaded fries and they are so good, def recommend this place if you are in town read more

Union Jack's Pub - Pubs Near Me - Glenside, Pennsylvania

Can't say enough good stuff about Union Jacks. Sadly I only get to stop by with family when I'm home to visit. However, I always make it a priority for the following reasons: WINGS!!!!!!! Every flavor. Truly the best around. And I've been around the wing-world. I make 'em myself, at home, and I prefer the ones at Union Jacks! They've got some secrets, I think. Also the open-faced turkey is delicious. They do some damn good fries. Amazing and always interesting beer selection! Come here if you're a true beer nerd, or a beer nerd wanna-be. In my opinion, the best beer selection around. Great place to watch a game too. And honest, friendly service! You can't miss Union Jack's if you're nearby and you love wings and/or beer. Though they go best together. read more

My husband's local place of choice for wings. They are "naked", meaning that they have only spice on them prior to cooking, no breading. Deep fried, then tossed in sauce. You can get foo-foo sauces, like teriaki or garlic butter, but he is a manly man & prefers "hot", with "suicide" on the side. Has your lips throbing now, and gives an afterburn tomorrow, if you get my drift. Beer selection is excellent, with many on tap. Other food is aveage, but is good enough to provide a base for your alcohol consumption. I do like their O rings, however. Real rings, batter fried, and served with a tangy pinky sauce. The back porch is great in the summer; looks like a favorite place for local softball teams after the game. In the winter, it's a good place to come and watch the game while your wife has the TV monopolized with reality shows. The wings are also available as take-out. You can drop by, place your order & have a few brewskis while you wait. And if your car is a lemon, that 1-800-lemon guy is right across the street. Talk about one-stop shopping. read more

Good little spot to grab a beer and watch a game. Food is pretty good and they have good daily specials. Parking can be a little iffy with a small lot and pretty crowded streets, so I go over at off times rather than Fridays at 5:30. read more

Classic neighborhood joint with the BEST wings in the area and a great tap list. Tons of TV's let you watch the game regardless where you sit. The curly fries and pub chips are great, ask for a side of bistro sauce to dip the chips. The food is typical pub grub but it's definitely higher quality than most. The staff is friendly and efficient. If you live in the area you will definitely run into someone you know here. Great place to grab a beer. read more

Generally a good beer selection. At least there's always a variety of styles if not unique or great choices. The food is good, not great. I have two major problems with UJs: one, cash only. Folks, this is the 21st century. I can accept credit cards FROM MY PHONE with Square, and a well-established local business can't accept cards? I would gladly pay 2% more for the fare than pay the $2 ATM fee. Two, they are SLOW at lunch and the kitchen is closed with alarming frequency. If you go at lunch, be sure to leave yourself an hour and a half, because you will be waiting for your food for a good 45 minutes, minimum. That said, it's nice to have a bar with good beer a minute from my house. But, given the choice, I'll drive the 20 minutes to Grey Lodge before going to UJs. read more

Union Jack's is one of my favorite places to visit when I go back to Philadelphia. They have good food, beer and atmosphere. There are quite a few things on the menu that make it difficult for me to choose. The wings are fabulous, if you have never had the honey-carib it is a must try! Typically the grill closes down at 10 and the fryer at 11, so I do wish food was available longer especially for those long nights. The beer selection is ever changing and there a quite a few seasonal promotions that are always fun. I am not a huge beer drinker but I can usually find something I'd like to taste and they have a nice liquor selection for a variety of mixed drinks. There is a cash only policy but we have become accustomed to it and plan accordingly when we know we will be making a stop at Union Jack's. It isn't something that bothers us enough to go somewhere else. read more

I wanted to go for four stars, but two things kept it at three. They had no IPA's on draft. They did have about 25 beers on tap. They had lots of Stouts and winter ales. It is winter, so I guess that's not too far off. No IPA's. I had to buy a bottles Dogfish 60 minute. Good, but I had these at home. Number two, no credit or debit cards accepted. All cash. They do have a no name ATM in the back, but these things always scare me. I always think my account information is being stolen. Now the good. I had the turkey burger with pub fries. Lots of burger options available. The turkey burger was great, but the list looked great. I did not have the wings, but here they are great. Lots of wing options, but I did not see any dry seasoning options. This night they had several flat bread options. My wife got the buffalo and blue cheese. Very good. Not too hot. The blue cheese is a sauce, rather than actual blue cheese. We went on a Tuesday night to avoid the crowds. We tried to go on a Saturday night, but could not get a parking space. Parking is scarce in the area. The UJ has a real corner bar vibe. Small and comfortable. Un-chain like. It has about 20 bar stools, several booths, and a few tables in between. Even on a cold Tuesday night it had filled up by 8pm. We will go again for sure. We will bring cash and hope for an IPA on the draft list. read more

I was a bit wary at this local hole in the wall but the wings are right on point: fried to a good textury crisp while still flavorful. It's not a kid-friendly place but saw multiple patrons with children so knew the food had to be legit. Fries were a little undercooked but string beans were great with an awesome dipping sauce which made up for the slow service. read more

Union Jack's Pub - Can't go wrong with beers, wings, fries + battered/fried string beans - Pubs Near Me - Glenside, Pennsylvania

I needn't tell you about their wings. They are good enough that I think they should start teaming up with other local eateries so they can have "Union Jack's Famous Wings" on their menu, too. So I've been trying to nail down some of my favorite flavors and I haven't tried many but after two tries of the "Thai Hot" flavor, I've determined they're just not hot. I thought maybe it was a mistake the first time and I received "Thai Sesame" but apparently not. The flavor's great, but don't get it and expect anything spicy. Parking is atrocious and the place is tiny, cramped, and filled with people every time I stop in, but I guess that's what you get when you've got something good. read more

Best wings I've had. We all know the places that has wing that are swimming in a soup of sauce, while other places can even cover the wings in sauce. Wing are cooked perfectly, no fried to death like others. Not sure if there is a light coating on the wings, if so, not noticeable. Highly recommended. It's a 20+ minute drive for me each way, but it is worth the trip whenever I want wings. read more

Worst restaurant I've ever been to. We sat down and eat dinner there one time and it was good but then the last two times we ordered from them the food was horrible. The chicken wings that they say they're so famous for is not true they were dried out when we ordered them at to our home. But my husband and I ordered some like late lunch for today I ordered a chicken wrap and it was a sandwich which had nothing on it that I asked and he ordered a burger and they gave him a chicken sandwich so I don't get it. They refuse to refund our money unless we I drove down there and show them what we were returning outrageous. Then the cook came out of the kitchen his name is Chris and stared me down and told me to get the F out of his restaurant. So I asked him to call the police because I didn't like the way things were going and my husband and I went outside. We went outside to start the car and three of the employees came out yelling at us and swearing at us. The one girl I believe was a waitress and she said that I wasn't very nice to her daughter who's underage and probably shouldn't be working in the bar. This pregnant girl said I'm pregnant but that's going to stop me from hitting you so there's a threat I wasn't going to hit this girl ever that's wrong. Please spread this news around do not go there you can't go to an establishment and become a regular if their staff is going to treat you then that matter. I'll still be looking for some kind of corporate number or Better Business Bureau but I'm not done with these people read more

It's thee best neighborhood bar to hang out and grab the most amazing wings. The wings are huge & juicy with so many different homemade sauce selections. They have a huge selection of IPA's & great beers on draft. The owner, Andy & the rest of the staff are awesome. Love this place! read more

Food is amazing but the service SUCKS. Waiters walked by us (& made eye contact) for a least a half hour before asked if we needed menus, I got a wine glass with pink lipstick on it, we didn't get utensils until 10 minutes after we got appetizers, take forever when requesting anything, etc. Seems like servers don't have selected sections, no one was on the same page with who was helping who. Very unorganized. read more

Some days have a good beer selection, others it's pretty drab - so says my two beer snob buddies. The wings are pretty good though. Go there with an empty bladder so you aren't tempted to use the restrooms. They are downright nasty and only occasionally have soap or paper towels. I think they attempt to be a sports bar because they bought a few flat screens and put them up. Ummm... Maybe they are trying to be a corner bar with an eye for sports? Overall, this place is in DESPERATE need of some paint, floor wax, and a bunch of other stuff to make it not gross. The tables aren't sticky, so that's good, right? For some reason, I keep going back there. I think it's the wings. If you aren't a wings fan, (not Detroit Flying Tires), then I probably wouldn't bother. read more

Want wings and beer? Go here! (Nice little rhyme to it, right?) I always heard about how great their wings are, and they definitely lived up to the hype. Meaty and flavorful are the first two things that come to mind. I love hot sauce and their's is one of the best. Union Jacks is a small local bar but has a great atmosphere to go with friends for a couple of cold ones. read more

Average food and average atmosphere. Am planning to go back to try the wings because I hear they are awesome. My burger was tasty and the beer selection was good. read more

I frequent this pub often, and typically enjoy the beer list, food, and atmosphere. Today, however, a group of us caught some unwarranted and unnecessary attitude from the hostess. Not sure I'll return any time soon. read more

My family has been coming to this place for a couple years now, the bar is fun and management and servers are very nice. We went to their outside seating during this pandemic and service was still immaculate. Will definitely be eating here again in the coming weeks. read more

Needed a fish and chips "fix" so grabbed my Brit friend and were driving over again today

What is Flourtown really lacking? How about a place to get great beer and wings... Good thing Glenside is a 7 minute drive - a drive that ends with the best wings around (sorry mcmennimen's) and tasty beers with rotating taps. Want a big IPA that'll make you feel warm and fuzzy, talkative but not loud, drunk but not wasted? How about some wings that have some crunch and spice and aren't vulture sized? UJ's is your place. Burgers and FF's are good - FF's handcut.... Go there soon and drink up. read more

The atmosphere is cool and the owner is friendly. He's definitely trying to clean up the place by adding the outdoor deck etc. Bathrooms definitely need an overhaul!!!! It would be beneficial to add an extra bathroom (a handicap bathroom) for the amount of customers they serve. The food is good and is consistently good especially when a man named Pat, I believe, is cooking. The prices have gone up a lot. Wish they had more specials and a better Happy Hour. Overall, pretty cool spot. Update .... the waitress staff is friendly but it takes FOREVER to get a refill!! read more

One of my favorite "go-to's" spot. Good spot for football season.... Great food.... friendly environment.....!!!

This place is average at best. The beer selection was decent, at least 3 IPA's on tap. The soup, Manhattan crab, was Campbells vegetable soup with old bay dumped in it in large quantities, no crab in sight. The wings cannot touch PJ Whelehan's in Blue Bell. The wings were maybe 5, on a 1-10 scale. Then the bartender overcharged me, methinks on purpose, as the apology was more like "ooops, I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar". Not going back there for awile. I think the person who reco'd the place to me must have been drunk at the time. read more

Mexi jalapeño wings are awesome, as I've mentioned! But the beer selection is terrific and changes often. The newer menu offers a lot of variety. I'm a huge fan of the soup of the day (almost everytime I've been there all of the soups have been awesome). And the Big Ben Burger and the Hey Vinny Burger are really really good. It's an "Everybody" knows your name place. I really do recommend it. Cheers! read more

Great beer selection and large portions of food. That's why I am giving 2 stars instead of 1. Service was terrible. Our waitress never made eye contact, and was dressed in her yoga clothes. Was she just coming from the gym? Food was flavorless, and half my wings didn't have any sauce on them. Refill drinks were never offered and we went to the bar for our refill. I ended up sick after eating spending the night in the bathroom. I will not be coming back. read more

My fiance had the wings and I ordered the crab cakes. I tried a wing and was instantly jealous. I think I'll be getting wings from now on when we go there. DELICIOUS. Best wings I've ever had actually ... aside from Byrne's which I also love. I can't wait to try their different sauces. Casual bar, no pretensions. Great place to watch a baseball game (as we did). They also played awesome music, which is always appreciated. I can't wait to go back. read more

I was there tonight and I was not happy at all! I got there before the rest of my party of 5 arrived and was not approached by anyone for 10 minutes and the bar wasn't busy at all at 9:30. Then we ordered our wings (3 orders of 10 Honey Carb) and our waitress (the one with the glasses, didn't even get a name that's how bad she was) only came out with two orders so I had to wait an additional 10 minutes to make my order. Then we tried to order four different drinks (three beers and one cocktail) and after multiple times of coming over and asking if everything was alright and giving us wrong orders she finally gave up and hid in the kitchen for 10 minutes and spent another 15 minutes talking to another waitress. Finally we wanted to order more wings and by the time she came over it was 11pm and apparently the wings are done at 11pm, if she wasn't blabbering her mouth off for 15 minutes we could have order more food giving you more money. I was HIGHLY disappointed with the service and the lack of professionalism the waitress had. This was a major black mark for Union Jack's and I am sorry I have to bring this up because I love Union Jack's, but this was unacceptable. I love the wings and the rest of the food, but the wait staff is horrible. Honestly go for the food and beer, but don't expect to be wowed by the staff. read more

Only giving 3 stars because they only accept cash. Had mild wings...very good. I had the Big Ben burger...it was ok...a little dry. The English chips were good. Our server, Grace was awesome. Very good customer service. read more
