René LePaulJuly 27, 2016The food is delicious! They have great food and drink specials each day. Always a laid back environment! Definitely a Columbus staple!
Jonathan HosterSeptember 24, 2016The Pad Thai is one of their specialties. It is outstanding! This is the Pad Thai with shrimp in fire sauce!
Jaret PosmentierMay 20, 2013Sit in the cooler section in the back with comfy seats. Go for the Sunday all you can eat brunch. Don't forget waffles around the corner.- Presley BurleyAugust 28, 2019Daily dining specials, my favorite being steak & fry Wednesdays! Weekly drag performances too! My favorite dish is the Big Nachos! Union serves from 11am-2:30am daily, & 10am for weekend brunch!
Brooke WeimarMarch 3, 2019The chicken wings are super good and they have homemade dressings for them!

Bernard CrawfordJune 17, 2014It may be a gay bar but the people are great and the pour is the best in Columbus Ohio.

Jeff RyanAugust 29, 2015Lemon caper chicken is good. Beet salad had oranges in it which ruined the taste
Heath K. Has a pretty bad attitude the Baileys he put in my coffee curdles he tried to convince me it was because of the whisky. Even though I've had this drink at 1000 other bars.
Heather AlexanderNovember 10, 2012Servers are marvelous but can't do shots bc management is full of haters!
Sunday brunch is fantastic! Great food+Great value= HOT male servers!
For a place that welcomes gays that have no place to go on holidays... They are sure to welcome the money of bachelorette parties when we can't be married.
- Union CafeFebruary 5, 2013Coming February 16 to Union Cafe! From RuPaul's Drag Race season 5, JADE JOLEE!
Great food, service and atmosphere. Fantastic local favorite.
They have a pretty decent menu, and I am typically very happy with what I order, but STEER CLEAR OF THE VEGGIE BURGER. Totally gross.
Brandon Frost pours the BEST drinks! Rockelle is a close second, though!
'Phoenix Thomas.May 21, 2011Try the Pita and Hommus. Hommus is fresh and the bread is hot. To. Die. For.
Be sure to get your drinks from Rockelle, she makes one hell of a strong drink! Patio is great too!!
Jason Б.April 30, 2011If you can't find Lindsey, look for Jason. Green shirt, bald head! ECT, know I mean?
Play some keno and do the booster!! You can get rich!!!!
