    Harp Lager
    Ed S.

    My wife and I visited Pints & Union for St. Patty's Day. We had a blast. The bartenders, busy as they were, found time to ,are us feel welcome. Never rushed us and gave excellent advice on their various beers. I'm not a Guinness fan, so I was steered toward a Guinness lager, Harp. Great suggestion, very much like the lite beers I prefer, just ore full flavored. My wife chose a Daredevil Dark Ale, almost coffee like in flavor and exceptionally drinkable. Even for a lightweight like me. I ordered fish & chips for dinner. Two large, lightly breaded and crispy pieces of cod on top of a good sized portion of crispy fries served piping hot. My wife went with fried cauliflower and hummus with naan. The cauliflower was a disappointment. Heavily coated in breading, deep fried and then tossed in a wing sauce. The menu didn't really explain the dish accurately. Not bad. Just not what we expected. There were two dancers from Ryan's Academy and they were a joy to watch. They really added to the evening. Our fellow patrons were friendly, most were willing to strike up a conversation. Finally, when we checked out, our bartender brought out the remainder of the days hummus. Not enough for a full order, so he added it to our takeout. Good food. Cold beer. Nice people. Excellent, friendly service. What's not to like?

    Randomly stopped in after dinner on a Saturday night. We lucked out- there was one booth open. Bartender hollered and said come up to order when you're ready, QR code menu on the tables. So we sat down and scanned the QR. I was surprised they have food- lamb curry that night sounded good but we had just eaten. They had one cocktail. Otherwise, beers and wines. You could see they have a ton of whiskey on the bar wall. But I wasn't sure what they had for gin? This place is more of a dive bar than a cocktail bar Nothing fancy, but they can make whatever you ask for. I had a boulevardier. It was delicious and pretty. TVs were playing old He-man cartoons lol. Hand sanitizer on the tables. Last call at 10 pm. A little strange. Maybe a covid curfew? So we requested an Uber, finished our drinks and left. Overall, good place to stop by for a casual drink. Food looks good too.

    We had a great time at points and Union for their inaugural comedy night had a wonderful dinner downstairs and took our drinks upstairs and enjoyed eight or nine comics who did a pretty good job of getting the audience to laugh it was well worth my time . I imagine we will go back again when they have another one

    Always love a stop into Pints & Union with its little wink at Poe. The cocktails are delicious and so affordable--half the price of Louisville places with cocktails of similar quality. The champagne cocktail (Butchertown Girl) is a particular favorite. The fare makes me think of my days living in England--great cozy pub food. I always go for the Indian curries with house-made naan, and my husband likes the fish & chips and brats.

    Celebrated Louisville Burger Week here at this cool place! You order at the bar and the servers bring your food to you. We knew right away what we wanted so it didn't take us long to order! We both enjoyed a beer and ordered the hummus with naan bread for an appetizer. The naan bread was outstanding! Hummus was good too! We both got the burger special, the Union smashburger with fries. Everything was yummy! The bartender was super nice and a manager stopped by our table to make sure that everything was ok. Will go back again.

    Louis the Ton was a neighborhood favorite, so we were devestated when the owner decided to sell. However, we were overjoyed to hear that our Ton bartender was opening his own place across the Bridge. Pints & Union is in Downtown New Albany in a lovely block of quaint shops & restaurants. The decor is eclectic with mixed lighting, taxidermy, and a reading & games area. We bellied up to the spacious bar and perused the menu. I love a shandy and they have several to choose from on the cocktail menu. I chose the Banned in N.A. and it was delicious! Holy aioli was a huge bowl of fries with a trio of mayos - curry, sriracha, and garlic- lime. Sriracha was my pick. My friend ordered another shandy and adored it. Wish I lived closer to Pints & Union because it's got a homey vibe and serves inventive drinks. I'll definitely stop in next time I'm shopping in historic downtown N.A.

    We really liked this place. Really cool and unique atmosphere to hang out. Great selection of beers (my kind of place) both on tap - and the beer can/bottle list will take you a half hour to absorb. Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA ($6) and Daredevil Liftoff IPA ($8) were my choices and if I say so...excellent selections. We ordered the Red Lentil Hummus ($9) which was a little thin in consistency but the serving of seasoned naan was fantastic! We also went with the Chicken Chili Cheese Nachos ($10) and I can say we've never had anything quite like that before. The bed of naan bread was really special (notice a theme here) and the flavors they put together on this plate we thoroughly enjoyed. In fact, we couldn't stop eating them. Service was fine....but keep in mind you need to go to the bar to order for both food and drink.

    Good everything at Pints & Union.

    Finally stopped in to highly-recommended Pints & Union September 2020 for a quick drink (COVID 'review' at the end). Building is another in a long line of repurposed structures in downtown New Albany...and another great job of making something out of what was previously nothing. There is a long, solid feeling bar and several booths, as well as a common 'pub style' area at the front. There is a staircase that may or may not lead to additional seating/bar area - we didn't explore (COVID). Overall feel is of a 'rich mahogany and leather-bound books' vibe. Very good selection and variety of beers on tap and in bottles. They were out of what we really wanted, and the barkeep made a suggestion for a substitute and we very much liked what he came up with for us. Looking at the menu, there seem to be some interesting signature cocktails etc as well as their plentiful beer selections. I don't think anyone will leave thirsty. We didn't eat, but their menu indicated it'd be right up our alley. Think 'accessible upscale bar food' and you'll probably visualize their food options. They do also have veggie options which is cool. It seems like they 'host' local food trucks every so often as well...might be cool to check out. Vibe seemed subdued while we were there mid-afternoon on a Saturday, with some obvious regulars milling about and lookee-loos like us checking things out. Seems like things could get a bit crowded in there w/he design and space limitations, but was fine when we visited. *In terms of COVID precautions, we felt they were doing as good a job as possible changing up their procedures to accommodate the local restrictions and the needs of their guests. All workers we saw were masked, and they were distancing people and limiting capacity at the time we were there in Sep. 2020* It took us a while to get there, but we will definitely be back. Good on you, Pints & Union!!!

    My friends and I have been missing our Thursday karaoke tradition here ever since the bars and restaurants closed to in-dining service. And obviously, we've missed the delicious food and overall atmosphere of Pints & Union. To help remedy this, we ordered carry out tonight! I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE the nachos made with naan and yogurt marinated chicken. So obviously, when I saw Naanchos on the carry out menu, I ordered that right up! I was a little worried about what the difference might be between ordering the food in-house and taking it to go - but it still tasted great and I have no complaints! I don't know how long this new not-so-normal is going to last, but at least I know that I can still get these yummy Naanchos and I'll be back to Pints & Union either way!

    What a neat place! Tons of beers and mixed drinks. Very limited menu but very good. Cool service and watching the guy mix drinks was mesmerizing. Clean, friendly, and quiet enough to hold a conversation or read a book, which I respect. Nightly specials and Thursday is trivia night.

I met up with a friend, and I liked the fact that we could hear each other when we spoke. I ordered the goat cheese appetizer and Moroccan meatball appetizer. Both came out hot. The goat cheese balls had a crispy outer shell and were very yummy. The meatballs were in a unique tomato-based sauce which I also enjoyed. I ordered the Voodoo pasta with blackened shrimp. I am not usually impressed by cream based pasta, but this time I was. The pasta was bursting with flavor as were the grilled shrimp. There was a generous amount of crunchy shrimp in the entree. I also had tried the Drink With No Name. I have nothing negative to say about it. You won't either. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive, so service was, in other words, perfect.

Great ambiance and decor, feels rustic and chic at the same time! Comfortable chairs which is rare to find anymore. We were seated at a low table in the room at the front which was nice as it was quieter than the big open restaurant in the main part. My mom and I had a great lunch! The attentive waitress shared that the chef was new and it was a new menu. There were so many fabulous choices on the menu it was hard to choose. Goat cheese burger, fish and chips, Brie and jam grilled cheese, Nashville hot chicken, just so many things sounded good. I opted for the Nashville hot chicken, it was moist chicken breaded and nice and crisp, with a creamy slaw and a chili oil drizzled on it for more spice, then it also had habagardil pickles on it, the best pickles I have ever had! Only a couple places use these local pops habagardil pickles and they are spicy and delicious. The sandwich was delicious on a brioche bun. Messy, and magical this sandwich was. The fries were so good it was hard to stop eating them! My mom had the blueberry jam and bacon Brie grilled cheese with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and she eats very little but she devoured this sandwich and also loved the fries! The tomato basil soup also looked good! I will have to become a repeat customer because I need to try that goat cheese burger and the salmon bowl, well, and every single entree on the menu!! Bringing friends back soon!! The chef here is creating some amazing food!! The only issue we had was finding parking. She uses a walker and the only place we could find to park was handicapped over at a neighboring restaurant and it was a bit of a walk for someone with mobility issues. Front doors are heavy, and you have to open both doors for it to be wide enough for the walker to go through, so getting in wasn't easy. Food amazing, accessibility challenging.

I came in to pass time with a GLASS OF WHISKEY WITH A CHERRY IN IT while my clothes washed at the Laundromat aross the parking lot, but I left a changed person. Maila is not a bartender. Maila is a Kentuckiana treasure being criminally underutilized by a bar that apparently thinks "vibes" and "one (1) exceptional human being" count as amenities. No Touchtunes. No karaoke night. Nothing. Just Maila, standing there, bending the laws of physics to produce an Old Fashioned so perfect it should require a permit. I have had Old Fashioneds across this entire region. I have suffered through watered-down syrup-bombs. I have wept quietly into muddled orange peels made by men named Carl who think "stir" is optional. None of it compares. NONE OF IT. Maila's Old Fashioned doesn't just taste good, it has RANGE. It has a NARRATIVE ARC. It starts smoky, it develops, there's a THIRD ACT. And she's funny! And warm! Everyone who sits at her bar becomes a regular within one (1) visit, it's basically a cult and I am a proud member. The food, respectfully, is mid. I do not care. I would eat a sad, lukewarm appetizer off the floor if Maila handed it to me with that smile. Fistful manager or owner, if you are reading this: you are one bartender leaving away from becoming an empty room with good lighting. Give this woman a raise, a statue, and full creative control over the menu. Maila, 10/10(the girl dont miss). Fistful 3/5

Our server was Greg and while the restaurant was not crowded - he was covering table tables both inside and out - which meant he would disappear for long periods of time. While he did his best to cover everyone appropriately, I believe the manager should reevaluate table coverage for a superior dining experience. The menu provides ample selection of items to order. I would highly recommend the large pretzel as an appetizer. We ordered the Cuban sandwich with potato salad and a chicken sandwich with waffle fries. I mentioned to Greg that I was lactose intolerant and he was able to accommodate by ensuring he would mention to the chef that no diary should be used in preparation. Both sandwiches arrived with no issues - with the only complaint being that the potato salad was very bland. Other than that, all went well. Overall, the food was good - fairly straightforward bar food. During peak times - seating will be limited, possibly non-existent. If you try Pearl Street Taphouse go during off-peak hours for the best service and seating options.
