My family and I went there as I'm a huge offspring fan and wanted to check out the pub in the show.
It's a really good honest old pub. It's got the atmosphere and staff were really friendly. We had some drinks and ate dinner, really good food and huge servings!!
The kids played the pinball and arcade table and we had a great evening.
We will be back regularly!!
Hi guys!
I had my 30th up in your private space this weekend. Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU. Everyone was amazing and Amy on the bar was super chilled, helpful and some of my guests assumed she was part of the party because she was so friendly!
All the food was delicious and everything went smoothly. Thank you for putting up with us and packing up everything for us to collect the next day. Will definitely recommend using the space for a private and easy party!!
Cheers,
Ruth
Dropped in here for a few drinks before dinner elsewhere. When we entered felt like we had entered a time warp. This is a real old pub, no updates, no interior designers, no nothing! It is beautiful. We had a few drinks which were refreshing and delicious. People at other tables were playing scrabble. It was delightful.
We saw meals being ferried to tables and they looked and smelt yummy. Based on this we perused the menu - a great traditional pub menu. We will be back for dinner soon.
My partner and I dropped in here for a pre dinner drink. This is a great old pub, very old school, it was fun.
The service was great, v relaxed but attentive. They have some good beers on tap, an extensive wine collection and a number of spirits.
This was a great place for a casual drink, and the menu was HUGE, one of the biggest I’ve seen catering for everyone I guess lol
Ordered the steak for lunch and dips but the food took a while to be served. Atmosphere was nice, especially next to the fireplace. The price was a bit on the higher bracket but the serve was large and flavour was delicious.
Classic old school pub with a lovely roofdeck! Came here with a group of friends for dinner, the meals were all really tasty and the parma's were huge - good value for money! My vego friend was particularly impressed with the range of vego/vegan friendly options available. Great range of beers and friendly staff 👍
Brought my husband here when he became an Aussie for the Kangaroo steak and LOVED The place.
When so many old pubs are going for the revamp and cashing in on 'fancy' pub food, it's so cool to see a venue sticking to its roots. Complete with linoleum floor and box telly in the corner. Menu is great with very generous portions, great selection of tap beers, what else do you want?
Absolutely LOVE it.
Great lunch today, had the veg special (eggplant with mixed grains and lentils) which was surprisingly sophisticated for a pub meal. Only drawback was two of the accompaniments were missing!
Love this place in winter especially by the open fireplace. Just a classic pub. I've only had the chicken parma and I'll probably stick to that as it's close to my favourite in Melbourne. Wish I was a northsider! 😯
Hadn't been to the union for a while and forgot how good this place really is. A classic local pub, great atmosphere and the service and staff were terrific.
People, please make sure next time you buy a Parma you make sure the chef DOES NOT put the Parma on top of the chips. I have recently made a discovery that will rock you socks off!
For over 20 years the Government has been providing kickbacks to pubs that put the chips under the parma. Why, you ask? Well, I'm not going to get too technical, all you need to know is that a mixture of Napoli sauce, cheese, ham, chicken and potato causes a chemical reaction in the brain, that the government uses to control your thoughts. I swear this is true! An older gentlemen I shared a dart with on Swanston Street told me. He has actually met members of the illuminati.
So please, enjoy your Parma but never, ever, ever accept one with the chips under the chicken breast!!!!
This pub is good, I didn't take my chances with the Chicken Parmigiana. I had the fish.
Always good but today's lunch was seriously good. Perfectly seasoned and cooked calamari followed by one of the best desserts I have had anywhere in a long time. You must try the deconstructed lemon tart, simply delicious!
Fantastic food and venue.
Great pub feel.
Kangaroo steak was pretty yum
Busy place, cheerful bar staff. Alot of warmth, and a cosy atmosphere. It was a miserable 9° out side and the just was nice and toasty inside.
Great to be back at the Union Club after 5 or so years and discovering that pretty much nothing has changed. Still a traditional pub serving real food and drinks to real people. Long may it continue!
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it was a bit crowded for this now rural resident and took a while to get served on occasions but we loved it all the same.
Just moved into the area & came here the other night. It's a 2 min walk off Smith Street. Such a warm & friendly welcome from the workers. Drinks are well priced & there's a really happy & friendly vibe - well needed in the middle of Winter! I left my bag on the chair next to me & called the next morning. Despite not being open until the afternoon the workers took my call & asked me what my bag looked like & what was in it - thankfully it was there! Again, despite them not opening until the afternoon they were very happy for me to come straightaway & collect it - Legends! This pub really knows what Hospitality is & I look forward to going back again soon & thanks again re my bag!
Love the Union. Been one of my fav locals for years. Ace crowd, great staff and perfect decor! Although I've never quite forgiven them for taking their crispy skin chicken in creamy mushroom sauce w/- bashed potatoes off the menu 😢
Really nice staff and excellent food. Loved the barramundi!
It’s one of the oldest bar in Melbourne city, I assumed. They having the old setup and old photo, it full of history, the bartender was so sweet and nice. Like this place
Great innercity pub, great beer, pool table and friendly staff. Fireplace, lots of zones to sit including courtyard and roof area. Not pretentious, full of normal people.
