    Vanilla Chai Old Fashioned.
    Emma G.

    I think it's time to accept facts: I'm not a 21-year-old anymore, and that is exactly what every single Hoboken bar is targeting. I came here with my chum the Shanimal for a drink last Friday when it was extremely nippy. She's doing a dry January so I tried to find an establishment that had at least taken the time to craft a nominal mocktail menu, as well as one with an interesting bourbon-based cocktail. After sifting through a dozen or so bars metaphorically covered in Malibu Rum, Union Hall seemed like our best option. It was conveniently located a few blocks from where we'd had dinner right off the river, and was pretty much a straight shot down to the Terminal (which turned out to be moot because I just missed my train and opted for Uber. Oh well.). The first potential red flag was that it was about 6:45pm on a Friday...and maybe one or two other customers in what amounted to a HUGE interior space. I initially thought this was the spot where my former employer had their holiday party a few years ago, because it legit could have housed it (it was actually a short walk away at House of Q). It's very spacious, both by the bar and in the more formal dining/seating area, and I'm assuming that's because they're expecting a lot of standing patrons later on in the night. Maybe it was due to the frigid temps, but we were both surprised no one else was in there on a Friday night. I'd also point out that I've known my share of young adult party animals, all of whom were willing to go out on the town weather-wise in anything short of a state of emergency. I ordered a Vanilla Chai Old Fashioned, which sounded like an interesting spin on the classic cocktail, and the Shanimal got the What's Up Doc, which featured carrots (of course), along with ginger and watermelon juice. I was honestly a little disappointed by my drink, despite the concept. It was surprisingly watery/bland, and I could tell from the warmth or lack thereof on my cheeks that there was barely any bourbon in it; they opted to go heavy on the chai. It definitely should have had more of a balance to it. The worst part by far though was the service. We were greeted by an unsmiling young female at the bar who honestly gave off more of a Daria impersonator vibe than a professional bartender. The drinks showed up fairly quickly, but then...nothing. Keep in mind again that I could literally count the number of other customers here on half of one hand, and yet the bartender (which DID switch to someone else by the end) couldn't be bothered to come over to our area for 40 minutes. That's not an exaggeration, and it wasn't even acknowledged as an issue. We had empty glasses and almost certainly would have ordered a second drink, but they lost out on that opportunity, which is a dictionary definition self-inflicted wound on their part. Easily some of the worst customer service I've experienced in the post-COVID era, which is saying something. I'd warn potential customers to steer clear, but based on what I saw the word's already out.

    Celebrated a birthday here and it turned out great! It started with a little confusion regarding the reservation so I would just recommend confirming your reservation a few days before, but after that it was good. They were kind enough to let us decorate the table and bring balloons. The food was good, for apps we shared the charcuterie, wings, guac and chips. For mains, everyone got something different. They were kind enough to accommodate my picky friend and let her have chicken tenders and French fries. I had the salmon which was very good, but cooked more rare than medium rare. Someone ordered the shrimp pesto which was also good. Everyone else seemed to be happy with their meals. For dessert they brought out a chocolate cake and ice cream with a candle.

    Great brunch menu. Salad today and there was four of us. Pasta, two Salad and Mac/Cheese. Service is attentive and you can't beat the view.

    Trash Can Yellow & Blue Corn Nachos

    We came here in a Sunday and our criteria for finding a spot was that we wanted a view by the water but still had sports on so we could catch the game. Union Hall checked all those boxes! It has almost an industrial decor/ feel inside, but there is still outdoor seating. The cocktails were excellent. We got the "trash can" nachos which came at a hefty price tag ($24) but they didn't skimp out on the portions. Good for an app/ drink with a view! The dinner menu looked nice, but it was a little more expensive than I anticipated. Service was nice and prompt!

    Fun and affordable brunch venue in Hoboken. Easily accessible from Manhattan. Great quality American food, lots of options to choose from. Spacious, and perfect for private events. Mimosa bar was a game charger! Tons of different juices to choose from (passion fruit was top tier). Great service as well, attentive and prompt waitresses.

    Went here for brunch on a bachelorette party and had a fun experience! They have mimosas and sangria in extra large mason jars!! I had a Bloody Mary and it was one of the best that I have ever had! For an appetizer, we had the kale Caesar and the disco fries - both were amazing!! Probably the highlight of the meal. As for entrees, I had the fried chicken BLT with fries and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we had two people in our group who's eggs came out extremely cold. Along with that, one of our group members didn't receive her meal at first - we had to flag down the server and she realized that the kitchen forgot to make it. Our server wasn't very attentive and got a little upset when we asked to split the check three ways. Outside of a few hiccups, I really enjoyed my meal and brunch experience!

    Brussels sprouts

    Came here with some friends on a recent weekend afternoon. We were able to sit outside and have a nice view of the waterfront and city. It seems like a popular brunch place but luckily we came later in the day and didn't have to wait at all. Our waitress was very friendly and gave good recommendations. We tried a few different shareable starters and some drinks. Mt friend and I both had the Hoboken spritz. It was a bit too sweet for my taste and kind of watery. I wouldn't recommend that one. They also have a nice list of wines to choose from though. To eat we had the Brussels sprouts which were amazing! I highly suggest getting those. They were juicy and cheesy. We also had the black eyed pea hummus which came with nice crudités. We then had the nachos which were quite large. It would have been nice to have more sauce for them as they were a bit dry. The toppings were nice and presentation well done. Overall I enjoyed coming here and would try it again sometime.

    French Onion Mac Balls and Sunrise Fries

    Pretty good food, service could be better - The giant mason jar drinks really made me want to try this place. I made a reservation for 12:30 on Saturday for boyfriend's birthday. We started with a mason jar of the mimosas and another of the white sangria, the French onion Mac balls and sunrise fries. Both drinks were good and we could taste the alcohol. The mac balls were tasty but as another reviewer mentioned, they could have use a little bit more seasoning. The sunrise fries were really good. To eat i had the fried chicken blt and my boyfriend had the sliced steak sandwich. Both sandwiches were pretty good. I thought the chicken could of used a little more seasoning but overall not bad. We shared the churro sundae for desert which was ok. The service and friendliness could have been better. The people who brought our plates/ cleared them and a male manager were friendly. However the hostess wasn't super friendly and our server was ok. She checked on us but was a little dry throughout our whole meal. After ordering the sundae I went up to her and asked if she had candles since it was my boyfriend's bday. She dryly said they could do that, but the sundae came out without a candle. A little annoying since I just asked 5 minute earlier about candles. I even noted in the reservation it was his birthday hoping our server/someone would go the extra step. Overall ok dining experience but I was looking for something more special. I wouldn't recommend this place for special occasions but for regular brunch it's fine.

    Very good place to have dinner with friends when in Hoboken. The fries are awesome. Can't beat the view here!

    Colada
    Gokul D.

    Definitely a little pricy. But the waitress that served us was great and kept checking in. The food was also worth the price. That was one of the best chicken sandwiches (not pictured) I've ever had. The piña colada was perfect for the warm weather and tasted great without being overly sweet!

    I have been wanting to go to Union Hall for a long time. Today my friends and i went for brunch. Of course we sat outside, but that was nothing to complain about. The view of NYC from Frank Sinatra Dr is astounding. Looking into the restaurant, it seemed nice as well. My friends got big drinks that were 1L mimosas for $20. Not bad at all. We then all shared the Sunrise Fries, which hit the spot. The truffled bacon and cheddar cheese tasted delicious! For my main course, I had the Chicken & Waffle Dogs, which were chicken sausage corn dogs with a waffle batter breading. It came with maple syrup and a delicious dip. I fully recommend! This was a wonderful take on the classic Chicken & Waffles! Union Hall is a Hoboken Brunch must!

    Went here for a friends birthday and they were able to accommodate 9 people on such short notice. The food was good was a little pricy and we miss their old brunch special but alas! I will probably go back just maybe not for the toast platter... it was $11 for 6 pieces of tiny toasts like one bite toasts... Otherwise great atmosphere very nice staff and pretty quick service.

    One of the things I miss most right now is going to Union Hall for bottomless brunch! However, it's so nice that they are still open for delivery and takeout. The Brussel Caesar salad hit the spot, and my fiancé said the wings were delicious too. Also, it's great that they are doing wine and beer delivery as well. Really enjoying the house Pinot Grigio! Delivery was super quick today - got our order before the estimated delivery time! Thanks, Union Hall team!

While the service was less than 100%, the breezed short ribs were amazing! If I lived in the area, I think I could order those short ribs everyday. Pricing is very reasonable for the area, even with the "included gratuity" of 18% that they threw on the bill, probably because of all the international travelers coming into watch soccer. I understood this was something they probably had to do specifically during the world cup.

Honestly, I think it worked out for the best--the bar felt more spacious than the table seating and had a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere for a Wednesday afternoon. The mocktails were as creative as they were delicious, and the cocktail menu offered plenty of tempting options as well. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and impressively efficient, striking that perfect balance of great service without constantly interrupting your conversation.
