    Really cute small tap room with tons of amazing choices and reasonable pricing. Love the small inviting atmosphere and handwritten menu. Also LOVE that there is a cool old school gaming system so our kiddo enjoys coming with us too. Service has been excellent every time. Love to have a new place close by like this!

    Great local joint with a sizable menu of rotating beers on tap. One of our favorite spots to try new drekker beers / fruited sours / local brews

    This place has a ton of games and it would be an amazing date night! They have a ton of beer and wine choices. I had the sangria and it was super refreshing and my wife had the pomegranate mule. There is a lot of room at the bar and little bar stools all around. The bartender was quick to check in. I just wish he was a little more friendly. This was our first time coming so it would've been nice to have some conversation and a little more information on the beers and drinks other than reading a board. This is a very calm space from what we experienced. It seems like it is a local sport; not to many people. I think the time we stayed there was about 5 people in addition to us. It looks like they have a happy hour from 1-7 everyday. The only other thing I wish they had was dine in foods. It does look like they offer snack foods. It looks like they offer a grilled cheese, popcorn; and a meat & cheese board. They also allow you to bring your own food in if you want which is super nice!

    Stopped in here thinking it was a restaurant since I was shopping in the area but it's more like a pub-type environment. Upon entry, I immediately felt out of place as the staff and everyone inside(only a few people were inside) looked at me as if I didn't belong in there. Talk about an awkward moment so instead of seating myself to explore and possibly stick around, I just started snapping a few photos and left. I was so out of place and was such in shock at not being greeted by the lady who worked there that my nervous awkward moment kicked in. Nope, I'll never return and nope I don't recommend it unless you've visited before and fit in. I'm not 100%sure that they are used to diversity, to be honest ...seriously you wouldn't know what I meant unless you've experienced some type of uncomfortable " you don't belong here" moment! Js ‍ It's a no for me but don't take my word for it... go check it out for yourself! ‍ ‍‍ I'm still not sure if they serve food or other drinks besides beer ... On a positive note, it's a cute set up inside

    Our favorite new bar. It's close to home, the service is great, the beer selection even GREATER! We have been here on quiet days, and we have been here during a ROCK PAPER SCISSORS competition! Good vibes, always!

    Not a lot of games, so don't go expecting a Cobra-like experience... very chill, though, with a cider that tastes like grape juice!

    Ask the Community - The Whining Pig - Gilbert

    Can you watch NFL games here?

    We have multiple TVs and can showcase all public games but don’t have the NFL ticket. Thanks for asking!

    Can you bring your own food? Do they have a food menu?

    They have 4 types of flatbreads and a meat/cheese board. I feel like they'd be cool with outside food, but I've never specifically asked. Really cool vibe in all of their locations, though!

    Is there a live music?

    Sometimes there is - we had a guitarist playing the night we were there.

    What's some of the HH pricing? Reasonable?

    Happy Hour runs 7 days/wk, 1-8pm! It's $2 regular prices, so a good deal.. and runs later than most HH's. Good for weekend day drinking!

    Do they have trivia night?

    I don't think so but they do have trivia cards on the bar and a couple board games to play.

    Kinda bummed... I…read morecannot really review this place because as soon as we walked in--we walked right in front of people playing live music. It's not a very large establishment to cram live entertainment inside (IMO) and we stood inside for 5 mins and just had to leave. It was hard to talk to my fiance or have any conversation. To be fair there was seating outside. They have misters but when you want a couple of cold ones with your significant other to unwind from the week--this unfortunately wasn't the move for us today. Reviewing the tap menu they have some promising options so one day we will try to come back on a chill day to finally give this place a try.

    My parents had been here a couple times over the years and seemed to enjoy their selection over…read moreother tap rooms they'd visited. So, they took me here one Friday evening to try it out. One important note: I hate beer. I don't even like seltzers you'd get in a can that much. Cocktails and mixed drinks are my go-to. However, I do like ciders and my mom likes meads, which means she thinks I'd like meads as well. Anyway, we arrived around 5 on a Friday and the place was smaller than I expected, and not very crowded at all. There was only one bartender and he wasn't busy when we sat down at the bar, meaning he was very friendly and attentive. I like anything fruity and/or sour, so when I saw the sour gummy candy drink, I knew I had to try a sample. Not surprisingly, it wasn't as amazing as I expected. I then tried a sample of this honey pear cider, and it was a little better than the sour gummy candy drink. My mom ordered a 5 oz of the other flavor we were eyeing: the key lime pie cider. That was the best cider we had tried. The mead flavors all looked intriguing, but I just didn't feel right spending $11 on a drink that I didn't even know if I'd like (since you can't sample meads). If I was feeling more adventurous, I would have gotten the pb&j mead, but I opted for a prickly pear and vodka lemonade. I watched the bartender make it and he poured quite a hefty amount of vodka in the glass. I wasn't complaining one bit (my mom was scared though lol). Upon tasting it, it wasn't the best mixed drink ever, but it was strong and went down easy. Plus, it was a better price than these $16 cocktails you see at all restaurants nowadays. My dad got the moose drool brown ale and I hated it whereas he liked it. It was a nice, clean place with just the perfect temperature air conditioning, and the happy hour time range is honestly amazing if you're like us and prefer to go out early and be home for the rest of the night. Also, sick merch. It was giving Game of Thrones (hence the dragon name haha).

    Union Grill and Tap is a consistently great local spot that delivers every time. Whether you're…read moregoing out for a casual meal or looking for a solid game day atmosphere, it's an easy go-to with great energy and reliable service. The food is always solid with a wide variety of options--there's something for just about everyone on the menu, and everything we've tried has been well-prepared and enjoyable. What really stands out, though, is the staff and overall hospitality. We've even gone with our kids, which can sometimes be a challenging dining experience, but they've always been incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. They go out of their way to make us feel welcome, which makes a big difference. Overall, Union Grill and Tap is a dependable local favorite with great food, a fun atmosphere, and genuinely welcoming service. Highly recommend for families, friends, or game day gatherings.

The beef stroganoff with a dark beer gravy on it.... to die for. The Tuscan chicken was very good as well, huge chunks of garlic in it (which we like) and largely portioned. Even the kids fish and chips was pretty big and tasty. The garlic bread wasn't too bad either, but personally not my favorite. I think it needed more cheese for me. Not a huge brunch menu which is why we initially had come, but will definitely be back for more lunch/dinner. Service was quick and friendly, and the price was slightly above average (~$20 for the beef stroganoff). But they give you a lot which is always nice.

If you're an Alkie definitely your place. It's sticky, dirty, and smells. You'll probably get an STD if you touch anything in the bathroom and I think they like it that way. I tried to tip the waitress a bit over and she handed it back saying something of the effect of "Not here sweetheart." Additionally the wooden blinds and filthy carpet really hold in the despondence of the place. The staff is super nice very attentive. What I wasn't a fan of was the cockroach crawling across the bar. Made even worse by the fact I just ordered wings. Now I did eat the wings and they were absolutely great!!! Highly recommend! Additionally, there are some savory characters in this place so if you're a Snotsdale Princess that wants to go to a dive bar because for fun, stick to Coach House. The bathroom stinks of piss, and is dirty as shit. If you want to play pool, know there's no reason to check your cue, they're all bowed and crooked. Overall it's a DIVE, but if not for places like this where would people go when down and out. Maybe this is your vibe. Again the staff are super nice. Give it a shot!
