I really liked the atmosphere at union pub, it was a fun meetup spot to grab a burger and a drink with friends! Service was pretty fast too, you order online though so that's a convenient feature. I ordered the "that "one" burger" and it was good! The fries were perfectly crispy too. My only complaint with the burger was that it was definitely a bit burnt. The place also had a strong chemical smell of cleaning products which was fine with me but my friend did find it overwhelming. But overall, I enjoyed my experience here! read more

I stopped by Union Pub in DC recently and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. I ordered an espresso martini, not really expecting much from a spot known more for its casual, sports-bar vibe--but it was honestly delicious. The cocktail was smooth, well-balanced, and had that perfect mix of rich coffee flavor and sweetness without being overpowering. It's not often you find a dive-style bar that nails a craft cocktail like that, so it definitely stood out. Union Pub itself is very much a laid-back, neighborhood bar--a little divey, but in the best way possible. The crowd was friendly, the staff made me feel welcome right away, and there's an easygoing energy that makes it a comfortable place to hang out. It's the kind of spot where you can grab a good drink, chat with locals, and just relax without any pretense. Overall, Union Pub exceeded my expectations--great vibes, great people, and surprisingly great cocktails read more

We've come twice now and have no complaints. The first time it was a slower night so we sat at a table and service was 5/5. We got the buffalo chicken wrap (every needs to try this) w curly fries and a burger with curly fries as well. Both were delicious. The second time we came on wing night right around Halloween and it was SLAMMED! We sat at the bar this time and despite it being extremely busy service was still extremely friendly and fast! We got a grilled chicken caesar wrap and 20 wings (.50 wings cannot be beat). The wings were soooooo good, they were juicy and had really good flavor. They have a really good selection of beer and it is so reasonably priced. Definitely will be making this a frequent spot! read more

Came there on game day. Place was crowded rooting for the Commanders. Being an out of towner I was looking for a screen that had the Texans game. They accomodated us in a room which appeared set up for non Washington fans to watch their game with captions. Great beers. Great service despite the crowd. Clean restrooms too. Food was really good, but be careful with their version of Nashville hot chicken. high level of spice and Iike very spicy food. read more

The chicken wrap and tots were amazing! The old bay wing are must get when you visit. Thanks me later!

Great trivia spot but underwhelming menu offerings for the price. I tried the chicken sliders for $14 (plus a $1.94 dc fee) so after tip I spent almost $20 on what was essentially 4 chicken nuggets on buns. Service was awesome and really friendly and Two Girls trivia is definitely worth the visit but I'll stick to the curly fries next time - those were really good! read more

good place to see Chicago Bears games with Friendlies and all tvs and sound dedicated to Bears regardless of the time slot I will say in 2024 April I got food poisoning here --that put me in the hospital for 4 days --once I recovered and called the restaurant to inquire about others saying or having similar experience--GM or Acting Mgr on duty denied at the time of call any knowledge on this ? So was all disappointing! (I had a Philly Cheese steak and curly fries and a couple of Cokes ... Anyway, I will go back when in the area again to watch games BUT will never get anything other than bottled drinks from there going forward read more

I was watching a university of Georgia college football game at this dump on Jan 1, 2026. The feckless and gutless security staff ejected me before halftime without explanation. I left right away. I was by myself and was buying strangers cocktails. I spent about $100 in 60 minutes before halftime. They did not want my money . That's a poor business plan. to Union pub. Thank you very for your attention to this matter read more

Food was stellar. Buffalo chicken dip was very good and simple. Definitely can tell it's a neighborhood favorite and now I know why. Service was great everyone was very friendly and the ambiance was 10/10 read more

Susie and Brick are some of my favorite bartenders. I recommend the wing deal on Wednesday. Beer could be a little colder.

name one thing I love more than chicks wings....yeah that's right, 40 cent chicken wings at union!!! - welcome to wing wednesday, when my hangry boys and I go to Union pub to eat multiples of 10 chicken wings for 40 cents a pop - these wings are pretty damn good, the old bay ones shocked me (I mean dry rub....what about that sounds appealing in any way) - super meaty and hefty wings like we LIKE TO SEE - beware two drink minimum so order all together if you're not in the mood. loved my gin n tonic but that cancels out the price discount here - only complaint is Buffalo sauce is not spicy enough like if ppl can't handle spice they can order old bay, bbq, or plain - ranch and blue cheese were average but the old bay didn't even need any w all that flavor (just don't say dry rub out loud) read more

Great food and amazing people! Was close to all the attractions. Great place to watch sports or the inauguration :) Will visit again!

The outdoor covered area is pretty dirty, but popular and has room for lots of people. Servers were very nice. Sadly, food was pretty mid. Grilled cheese is not very grilled. Fries are not great. Fried pickles are breaded all wrong so the breading falls off and you just have a hot pickle with no crunch. My friend got wings and said they were good and a large quantity, so go for wings, skip other food. read more

Great atmosphere for Tuesday trivia! We loved the small and intimate area, the extremely kind bartender, and the delicious food. I am never turning down totchos haha but these rocked. Excited to come back here for more trivia! read more

Nope. They'll take you to the cleaners. $30 pitchers of American beer, to which a 21% "large party" fee is added. There were six of us and we had no food. 21% was for plonking a pitcher of beer on wonky outdoor tables. Then they had the gall to add another 4% "operational costs" fee. End result, 4 pitchers of domestics suds north of $160! read more

Dope spot with a lot of bar space! Especially when the weather is looking good! This spot has 2 bars and some good stuff on draft with an extensive list of bottles. It give me the regular pub vibes but also on a classy tip, more so when the white and blue collar people come in after work for happy hour during the week. The food slaps man! I love there deal for wings on Wednesday's.. also they also have a few more deals through out the week. Can't forget the music definitely a good selection!!!

I've been here before a few years ago. I had an ok meal then. But today I'm here to watch the bears game. The space is pretty open. Arrived early in case I'd have to wait. Plenty of open tables. You seat yourself. Took a while for the server to come over, but it seems there are only two here today. When she came over she was not very friendly or welcoming but took my order and explained how my mimosa would come out. I ordered the breakfast classic. They did not bring out my grits. Took a while to get her attention to tell her that plus asking for condiments. After about 20 min I still haven't received my grits and my other food is cold. So I'll just enjoy the game and the unlimited mimosas. Next time I'll just get wings and fries to be safe. read more

Came here while in DC to do some team building away from the hustle of the hotel we were staying at. When we arrived there was hardly anyone in here which made for a pleasant evening. When we came in we were shown to a seat and immediately asked to be moved. Not because it was a bad table, but the night we were here it was unreasonably cold and windy as all could be. Every time that door opened we got a gust of the very cold air outside and decided it was time to not be near a wind tunnel. After we moved we were greeted by our servers. We had two, the night we were here a young man was being trained and we were along for the ride. We kind of sent him for a loop, because we went a little crazy on the menu. Since this was essentially going to be a working meal, we order a lot of different things. Shout out to James, you were amazing, even though you were on your last night of training I hope we weren't too harsh to deal with. We went with all apps basically. We ordered Plain 'ol Tater Tots (one regular and one spiced them up a bit with added cheese and bacon), Pickle Fries, Fried Cheese Curds, Curly Fries, Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, and some wings. Our table looked like we had been out bar crawling all day by the time everything arrived. It was nice since we were all sharing a bunch of things and going over work related issues. After a bit work went out the window and we focused on our food and drink. We started to dip things in other sauces that weren't matched and found our flavor combos working just fine for us. As the baskets got emptier and the glasses lower we started to wind down for the night and made our farewell to James. He truly did make the night more fun for us. He was very good at his job and easy to carry on a conversation with. Decent place to stop and I am sure it is better when there is a game on or when the weather is nice. The outside area looked pretty amazing, but not on a cold, windy night. read more

This establishment is my guilty pleasure for Nashville wings and curly fries. As amazing as their wings are- they are sadly not Black friendly (unless you are one of their paid bouncers). Situated in the heart of Washington DC you know the moment you walk in who they cater to and the length of time you spend waiting to be acknowledged confirms your suspicions. It's ideal for grab and go- but whenever I sit to it, I am left to questioned if I am safe consuming the food when it reaches me. After today's unsettling experience- I'm not sure it is even worth giving of my money to this establishment for a grab and go. It's been real Edit: after I received my Nashville Hot wings order, it is safe to say that I bid adieu to the establishment. Please rename the wings to Nashville. They went from Hot, to sub- medium the last few times I came here, to just plain old Nashville. There is no spice whatsoever in the sauce. (Go figure- white DC patron ). read more

Interesting place. I've been there just once. The wings are good (not great). I also had a weird situation with the ordering, as I got a beer at a bar, but the food from waitress, and they were not synced. So I was the one who did a wrong thing :) read more

It's ok. Food was fine. I wouldn't deliberately seek this spot out for their food. The burger was decent. The curly fries were good. The buffalo chicken dip was ok. The buffalo chicken salad was meh. The cheese curds were the best of what we ordered. read more

I think I need a drink. Almost everybody does only they don't know it... was famously said by Charley Bukowski and Union Pub is a fantastic place to do exactly that, especially on a sunny day, sitting outside with your beer and people who make you happy. My fiancée and I had a spectacular 'sunday-funday' drinking and eating top-notch bar food - the wings and the totchos - a spectacular amalgamation of tater-tots, chicken, cheese, guac, etc... idk, look it up, I was day drinking at the time, but I vividly remember how happy I was digging in. I recommend you do the same - pick a sunny day and swing by Union Pub to see what the exact number of buffalo wings or tater-tots you need to accompany your beer, now that you know you need it. read more

In for a few days of sightseeing. Ended up in this neighborhood because of a VRBO mishap. Closer to town - great, but it's a bit residential. We were trying to find something easy and kid friendly. This checked all of that - but I should have been more discerning with something like "better than a TV dinner." 15 year old ordered a grilled cheese - a simple grilled cheese. She said it "had no flavor." How is that possible? I asked her "Does the cheese at least make it salty or savory?" And just said "it tastes like nothing." The fries were unsalted. The wife and I split a Turkey Reuben. The turkey was oddly...round. Like it came out of an Oscar Meyer container from Safeway. Which brings me to the fried pickles. I'm not sure when they were fried, but it wasn't recently. They were probably "lightly microwaved" and still even then, had an oddly firm consistency, like someone put frozen Vlassic slices into lukewarm oil. They came with a sauce - sriracha Mayo I think. It was flavorless Mayo with just a touch of insect repellent. My youngest just looked up after a couple of bites and said "this is gross." She's 12. You've been warned. read more

I ordered via DoorDash and everything went smoothly. My food was ready when it said it would be and was still warm when I got home to eat it. I ordered the burger and substituted the normal fries with curly fries. You get a lot of fries and the burger was perfect & delicious! I wasn't there very long but inside looked like the perfect sports bar with plenty of TVs and plenty of seating inside and outside to enjoy time with friends or to watch whatever DC sports might be on. read more

If you're looking for decent service, lots of space and ample tv's, look no further! Stopped by here a few times before to catch a game, and couldn't help but come back! The Chilli is so tasty, it was hearty and the cheese melted in sooo easily! The food and drinks are moderately priced, the bartenders are friendly and will definitely make your experience one to remember. read more

its so unfortunate bc they have such good chili and just food and drinks in general, but 1: they allow kids on the patio which is insanely annoying imo... 2: the kitchen closes way too early and they dont clarify that on their website. i came here to eat just for them to tell me the kitchen already closed.. which is totally fine BUT they like dont clarify that ANYWHERE :( read more

Cool place for a beer, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich was the worst I've ever had, though. Truly atrocious. Fries were good, staff was nice, but I want to know what that chicken breast did to the cook to earn such a horrible fate. read more

I've passed this place many times and finally stopped in due to them being open during the mid day on weekdays and also having a football--err--soccer match that I really wanted to see which wasn't popularly televised at a number of other bars higher on my list. The pros here start with the fact that they have a pretty solid beer selection that rotates with some diverse options. The happy hour specials are also pretty good with 2 good Belgium beer options on additional special during my visit. If I'm not mistaken there's happy hour each day and then an additional drink special in addition to this which changes daily (though I could be wrong). The food was just ok. I ordered "That One Burger" and it was...just ok, despite all the praise the bartender gave it and people coming in to order it. I do have to note that immediately as my burger was being brought out, I got a breaking news message about romaine lettuce being tainted all over the US (literally as my plate was sat in front of me) and as you can see the large cut of romaine is a big part of the burger. I immediately pulled it off along with the tomato (sigh). The patty was a little over cooked for the medium-well that I asked for. It's probably my fault for not just saying medium and leaving it at that. Again, it wasn't bad, a little salty, but not bad. The fries were well seasoned, and also quite salty. I was really hungry so I finished my meal but under different circumstances, I'm not sure completely how I'd have treated it. Another note, the midday bartender on this Tuesday before Thanksgiving was a bit moody. I noticed it and another in my party who came later noticed but the evening bartender who came at the start of happy hour was very chill and a much friendlier guy. Would I come back here; probably out of convenience to union station and happy hour specials but I can't say it has moved any further up my list (I've got an extensive DC list but typically limited time when I'm here). read more
