Great food. Great friendly service. Wonderful atmosphere and fantastic bar vibes. Fun place to watch a game or just grab a beer. Patio is always serviceable. read more

This is my go to bar. Few blocks from my house, walking distance and open till 2am! Food is pretty consistent. I love the buffalo wings! They are cooked to perfection and I always ask for only drum sticks, extra crispy and they oblige. They are a bar but their kitchen cooks up some mean wings and great chicken Cesar salad. At least once a week I go here just for the salad. You get the entire stalk of the Romain but they charr it for added flavor before serving. They have daily happy hour specials and during the holiday season they carried Trongs mad elf on draft. I was soooo excited about this and to share the love for that beer when family came over to visit. It was a little piece of Ny! Other thing I really love about this place is that they are very neighborhood friendly. They often have many specials if there are special events like Super Bowl, New Years, olympics, of professional football. They also play soccer which is cool because not a lot of bars offer this. Oh yes, they even gave furlough specials when the govt shut down! The place is huge and has two bars. One is bigger than the other but the service is great on both. They offer unlimited boozie brunch that I haven't partaked on yet. But it's on my list. They play great music, and it varies. Some days it's top hits, other 90's music and other times hip hop yay! The ambiance is casual, divey feel, but who wants to go to a stuffy place after a long day at the office. Here you feel like home. Good Service and no pushy waiters trying to get you out. 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

Service is slow and management is lacking. Went for bottomless mimosas and it was a waste of money. Everyone at the table has to pay for bottomless regardless of if they drink and good luck getting a refill if you do drink. Waiter looked like he was in shock when we asked to split the check and he was too confused. This place is definitely not nice enough to force everyone to pay for bottomless! read more

I came here to watch some college fooball. I am visiting from California, The bartender was very nice and accomadating. I received my drinks in less than 5 minutes. I ordered the sausage and eggs, I was amazed the food was very tasty. It came out hot and ready to be enjoyed. Thank you :) #rolltide read more

I'm from out of town (Michigan), the service is second to none, and the food is amazing. Thanks to the friendly staff, you made my stay in Washington DC a much more enjoyable experience. have to rave about the Old Bay Crab Tots as well as the Buffalo Chicken Totchos; decent drink specials that last past a standard happy hour as well! read more

Got food poisoning here earlier this year. Wings were undercooked but they said the kitchen was closed so they couldn't make new ones. I was throwing up all night after stomach pain. Ended up almost passing out, had to go to the emergency room. They put lots of fluids in me since I threw up everything in my system Also the white people (other customers)will be rude to the people of color there read more

Great food! The wings were excellent! Great game day specials too! If you are in the DC area and want to watch a Bears game with Bear fans, this is the place to go! Fun atmosphere, really good food and a great location! The Bears let us down but Union Pub did not! read more

Came here for their happy hour on Tuesday. There's a great outdoor area with pretty ample seating, even if you're coming in a big group. Their Tuesday Happy Hour drink specials were okay ($6 for well drinks, $13 bud light pitcher, $4.50 select bourbons, $4.50 Belgian bottles), but would have loved to see more beer specials or even a wine special, as well as a food special. Additionally, there wasn't a happy hour menu provided. However, the drink specials change daily, and the nice thing is that it's happy hour from 5 pm to close Monday-Friday. Service was pretty slow, even though we had 4 different servers attend to us. Food: Options were decent - my favorite was the cheese curds (would DEFINITELY order these again), and my least favorite by far was the spicy chicken quesadilla (having lived in both Mexico and Texas, it was definitely neither Mexican nor Tex-Mex). Other things we tried: -Fried pickles: more pickle than fry, and not too greasy -Crab cake sandwich: the tater tots were excellent and come with a homemade ranch (which wasn't as creamy as I like usually), and the crab cake was decent but have had better crab cakes -Buffalo chicken wrap: again, tots were excellent. The wrap tasted solid but fell apart almost immediately. Verdict: It's close to work so I will probably return for a happy hour at some point since the food and drinks were decent, and the hours for the happy hour are great, but probably wouldn't make the trip if was further away. read more

My friends, and my daughter and I came here on Saturday for a good time and to eat. It wasn't all that great. Our server was taking a long time in getting us things that we needed. I had the spicy chicken quesadillas, my daughter and friends had the Buffalo chicken wrap. Their chicken was dry and not as tasty as my daughter or friends stated. read more

Nothing like sitting outside on a fine day in the evening enjoying your hops. As Bar food goes - this place is as good as any other for veggie bar food. Though they do have a good selection on tap and they try and change their offerings. On this particular (after a long) day we enjoyed their "ways and means" IPA (btw, still searching for "filibuster" and "gridlock" beers) and it was hoppy and yummy. Though on one of my earlier visit here, we tried their Nachos (sans meat - they really don't have veggie nachos per se) and it does look and taste like a "gridlock". Not the best, even by the bar standards. It's a neighborhood (big) place so don't expect a lot of quiet during the happy hoppy hours. Stop for a late night rejuvenator and you may enjoy some quiet! read more

Honestly, this place was mid. It took a while to get our food, and the food was average at best. Our server only checked on us twice, so it was frustrating to eat this not-even-very-good food. read more

Food was terrible. Not worth the cost. Forced 22% tip on tables of 5 plus and you can't split it. (Even when the restaurant is empty). Very loud. read more

Amazing service and delicious food. I had to place an on-line order that needed to be delivered in a specific time period due to a tight lunch hour, on a busy Saturday - and the team swooped in and helped me navigate a tricky order. Seems that the lunch items that were desired, somehow did not appear on the website. The team heard my plea - took my large order and got it to where it needed to be, quickly and deliciously . Danielle was on the spot with her terrific customer service and great attitude. P.S. The Turkey/Ruben was outta sight. Thanks for the ole' school customer service! EAT HERE!! read more

Union Pub is a place for Hill staffers who want a less constrictive environment to socialize with fellow aspiring political operatives. That's about it. The actual refreshments offered are quite bad. Pros: -energetic atmosphere -where Hill staffers socialize Cons: -Food is pretty nasty -DC Prices for pretty sub quality -Hope to find seating yourself Food: I ordered the Buffalo Pizza and wow. That was a struggle. A pretty plain pizza that was drizzled with bottle hot sauce. It brought heat, but also an unpleasant sourness to it. Stopped eating it after the second slice. Would not recommend at all. The Chicken Tender Basket was much better. Pricey, considering what it was, but still better. Their house sauce needs improvement tho. Drinks: Also way overpriced. I had the "I'm Drinking of a White Christmas" hot chocolate cocktail that was pleasant for a cold day, but didnt really feel like it fit as a concept. I would not recommend this place for drinks, only as a networking tool with other people. read more

Union Pub is part dive bar, part sports bar, & part pub lunch destination. Somehow it manages to do all three pretty successfully. Here you'll find a hunting video game, multiple tvs, a jukebox, 2 full bars, not-so-clean bathrooms, HH specials and the main thing I come for...loud Bears fans. (I believe it's also a FSU bar if that's your team). But hey, you're not coming here for a 5 star experience so it is it's not a bad place just not over the top amazing either. If you live over 10 miles, I wouldn't make the trek unless you're a die hard Bears or FSU fan BUT if you live or work nearby, go grab a beer. For the food: I do highly recommend the Chicken Philly sandwich...it's one of the best grease on bread sandwiches I've had. The wings aren't bad either. read more

Union Pub - Chicken Philly - Pubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Generous amount of champaign/prosecco in their brunch drinks I was a little surprised at first at the price of their brunch seeing as it is a pub, but the portions definitely justified the price tag. Maybe it was the result of being a bit hung over, but for some reason I had the hardest time choosing what item to get (it's not like there is a Huge selection). Anyways, the waitress recommended the omelet so I got that, and my bf order the hang over breakfast sandwich. In the end his was much much better. I was worried the croissant would be one of those tiny ones, but that was surly not the case. I'm not sure I've ever seen a croissant that big. Finally, it doesn't say it on the menu, but just about all of the breakfast/brunch options come with potato fries. read more

Been coming here for years for Bears games. Food has changed a little bit over the years but one thing that had stayed elite is the burger. SO good and made to order, I always upgrade to the curly fries because delicious. The staff have been consistent and remember you, although they have a lot of people to serve I just sit at the bar and don't wait to be asked for my needs. Holidays are also a nice vibe because they decorate! read more

I enjoyed the space, which was accessible (may want to put a railing along the ramp to get in though) and had a celebratory atmosphere. Service was good. However, I don't like being lied to. The menu advertises a "black bean burger," which I ordered. I was given a veggie burger. You just need to be real about the items you are offering- change your menu to reflect what you serve. read more

A DC classic with great drink specials and good "drunk food". Highly recommend the chorizo grilled cheese and tater tots! read more

Here watching a Caps game tonight. This sports pub is exactly the recent grad/millennial magnet that you'd expect it to be, plus a few unexpected bonuses: 1) the food is actually great. The black bean burger is amazing and the fried donut balls with ice cream is killer. 2) service is great. Servers are attentive although busy and the managers are thoughtful. Check out this Caps themes drinks menu for Memorial Day libations during the game 3) they are totally pet friendly on the patio. And 4) I am like 2x the average age of the clientele here and nobody (customers or staff) cares or makes me feel uncool. And did I mention the metro friendly location means you don't have to drive home... read more

I was in DC on Saturday with another human and a dog and was looking for a place where the three of us could grab a drink -- so glad we stumbled upon Union Pub! We called ahead to make sure that my pup wouldn't have a problem getting in and to ask about the Happy Hour deals. Dogs were indeed welcome (which matched what we saw online) and there were a variety of daytime HH special -- $5 rails, $3 beers, $10 buckets. We were sold. We settled at an empty table at the patio on what was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. Our waiter greeted us with 2 waters and a nice bowl of water for the pup -- what a nice gesture! Throughout our afternoon, our water was truly top notch. Checked in on us thoroughly and made sure our drinks were always full. We just relaxed for a while and sipped on rum and cokes and Frose's. Frose's are this wonderful lemonade/citrus based slushy cocktail -- I had a little taste and it was great! We eventually decided to get a couple of appetizers; we went with the dry rub cajun wings and a big side of tater tots. Both dishes were great! The food unfortunately did take quite a while to come out -- apparently there was a mixup in the kitchen and our food was mistakenly delivered to another table. Once the mistake was realized (the waiter figured out that something was wrong due to the wait before we brought it up) our order was resubmitted -- within 10 minutes we were chomping at the fresh grub. Always appreciate a tentative, apologetic waiter when something goes awry! The ambiance was really great -- the outdoor patio had multiple large TV's which were used to project different sports games. There were many other patrons on the patio, a few of which brought dogs of their own. Definitely recommend this spot for a Saturday happy hour! read more

This is a fantastic pub to go to if you're just in town for a bit on a solo work trip (super friendly bar staff). When there is politically relevant stuff happening on TV, they often play it and have relevant themed drinks which are super fun! read more

Union Pub is one of the first pubs I've visited since moving here. My friends and I didn't have to wait too long, as we came here at around 5 when work was just ending. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather. First things first - the service. I think my server was professional, but she took a while to get our orders and everything else that came along with it. I felt like I was sitting there with the menu off to the side for quite a while, and believe me - I was getting slightly hangry. I ordered the cheese curds for the table, and got myself the Thai Chili Wings. My s/o got the Angus sliders. All of these were really good. For a Canadian born American, I was very happy about these cheese curds - I was a little skeptical about the price, but then realized how much they actually gave for the table. I was really happy about it. The Thai Chili Wings had the perfect amount of sweet and heat - let me tell you, I did not look pretty eating these (but then again, who looks attractive while eating wings? You're just doing it wrong at that point). The Angus sliders were cooked to my s/o's perfection. They were pretty delicious as well! The one complaint I would have is the price of soft drinks. $3 for a soda to me is a little much, but then again, I do appreciate the free refills (when the server came along, that is). read more

We went here to get a quick bite after seeing the capital, the service was amazing. I had the wings and fries some the best wings I've had. read more

- Chicago Bears HQ. I love the Bears atmosphere during game days. They provide plenty of seating throughout the pub. - The staff was really friendly & helpful. When we told the hostess it was our first time visiting she made us feel welcomed. We drove over an hour (w/traffic) to get there so that was really nice. - Food was really good. Got to try the spinach w/goat cheese & veggie burger. Both amazing! They offer a pretty sweet brunch menu too. - Most of the parking in the neighboorhoods have no limits on Sundays but make sure you check the signs. read more

I'm all about service and at Union Pub, you are bound to cared for by someone with personality! We loved our meal and we're pleased to sit for a bit in the cool air. Highlight: the wings and pickle fries! read more

I really need to give this place two scores. As a bar, it gets a 4.5. Fun place, great location, interesting clientele. And a great place to watch a game As a restaurant-- it gets at best a 2. I have tried numerous things on the menu searching for something that's not gross. Burgers, wings, nachos -- all horrible Rec: stop by to have some drinks and watch a game -- but bring a PBJ sandwich read more

Have been a few times now- it's becoming a regular stop for me. Chris at the bar always has a smile and a good recommendation. If we sit down at a table we always ask for Cintia. Everything we have tried has been great. read more

Awesome place to hang in DC - great wings, love Chris and Cintia - shout outs to you both for the service and drinks!!

My friend, who I was meeting here, works for the Democratic side of the house. When she told her coworkers she was going here, they said, "But...you can't go there...that's a Republican bar!" There's a reason why I never eat on the Hill. How a restaurant or bar can have political leanings is a little beyond me. It's not like a side of Fox News is served with every burger here. Anyways, we went for HH, and I ordered nachos. Instead of shredded cheese there was a cheese sauce which is gross. But otherwise they were ok. Service was really excellent. Our server was so nice and outgoing I felt like I should have friended him on facebook. Prices were pretty reasonable for DC where you can easily pay $14 for a burger. This place isn't great, but it's not terrible either. Republican leanings or not. read more

I will love almost any place with a large beer selection. Naturally Union Pub did not let me down. Lots of drafts and even more bottles = a satisfied lunch. I ate the argentine burger, which was very good. $10 gets you a burger with garlic chimichurri which I gladly paid. There's also a lot of seating both indoor and outdoor. Our party of 15 or so got seated easily and the food came out fast. I don't live in the DC area but I won't be opposed to visiting Union Pub again if I'm in the area. read more

There's no closer place to the Hill or better place to be on election night than Union Pub. I came here with a group of friends to celebrate or cry over the 2018 midterm elections (so DC I know haha). Normally, there seems like there would be tons of space to move around. There's a large room with multiple TVs and a bar in the front, an equally large side room with TVs and a bar, and then a patio with TVs and a bar. But tonight it was packed with Hill staffers and students. The crowd here seems to be a little bit on the younger and rowdier side so prepare for that. Drinks are really cheap! They were running a special with buckets of Budweiser or Bud Light for $12. They also had really cute themed drinks such as the blue wave and red wave. Mixed drinks were around $5 each for well drinks. Food is also surprisingly good! We ordered the wings and it came out really quickly even with how crowded it was. Overall, this a great dive/sports bar and I can't wait to go again. read more

Many other reviewers neglect to mention that Union Pub is the CHICAGO BEARS BAR OF DC! Which makes it awesome in my book. Plus there are tater tots. If you too never forgot the way we thrilled the nation with our T formation, game watching here is a blast. Everyone is friendly, misses Potillo's, and knows the beer served by the bucket is three-one-two, not three-twelve. The bar, which is reasonably large, fills up quick on game days so arrive early if you want a seat. Also worth noting, I once met a dog named Payton wearing a Chicago Bears bandanna on the patio. Loyalty runs deep, yo. Did I mention there are tater tots? Get the tater tots. read more

We came to watch college football and the waitresses and bartenders made it seem impossible to change the TVs to the right channel. Took about 45 minutes of hastling and moving seats to finally be able to watch the game we wanted.You're a sports bar right? they have many TVs but they're all 10+ years old standard def quality. One pro is relatively affordable beer read more

We hosted a catholic university alumni event on UP's patio and just wanted to pass on a massive THANK YOU to the union pub staff for being absolute ALL STARS. I had people all night coming up to me saying how much they love the pub & how they want to keep coming back year after year and a BIG part of that was the entire UP staff just being incredible as always. Thanks to Hunter and Jo for being awesome bartenders outside, thanks to Ashley for having us and controlling the crowd at the door, thanks Brittney and Danielle for keeping all the drinks full and shots poured, and a great big thank you to the server crew and kitchen staff working inside that dealt with crowds from the patio and the restaurant--I got thanks from people who didn't even do the patio deal who had such a good time. read more
