    Great spot for a quick snak/drink. Nachos- OMG are they large and full of flavor- we opted to add chicken and they did not diappoint. Queso is spot on with a little heat feom the jalaepnos!

    Great location with lots of outdoor games and seating areas. Inside bar is nice & cozy. Union hosts several tasting events each year and their bourbon dinners are legendary! Staff are hard working while having fun & taking care of business.

    We lovedthe games and drinks at Union Game yard! The Lime and Light margarita festival they sponsored was a fun time! #uniongameyard @union_restaurant_gameyard #buzzybooth

    What a great concept! Sit and eat, or kill time playing games :) The food is excellent and prices are reasonable... would spend every weekend here if I lived here! Also, Uber is easy and reliable in the area.

    Fantastic little spot located right off of the big floor bridge. Super family friendly. Wonderful when the weather is nice. Lots of options for kids and adults to play and eat. We enjoyed some appetizers and a beverage with our toddler and the three of us had an amazing time. The weight staff was kind and helpful and checked on us several times, even though we were out and about in the yard. Definitely worth a stop and we're just happy to know that there is a place we can go to now in Jeffersonville.

    Fun restaurant with a variety of games inside like board games and video games and then outside there's giant beer pong, bag toss, axe throwing and foosball. The cocktails are reasonably priced and have good flavor. The burger and seafood basket were large portions and you get a choice of side. You have to order at the bar, so make sure you know before sitting a while and waiting for a server.

    After a walk across the Big Four Bridge, we wandered just a few steps over to Union Restaurant & GameYard and immediately knew we'd found a good post-bridge hangout. The big open GameYard was alive with action--people playing bocce, regular and even giant corn hole, while a few groups lounged in cabanas. The cabanas are available to rent if you want a little more service attention and an upscale vibe, even in this otherwise casual, family-friendly space. One woman nearby was sipping on a "party pouch" (think adult Capri Sun) and looked like she'd discovered the secret to a perfect afternoon. We grabbed a couple of drinks, found a sunny spot, and took in the scene. Families were hanging out, kids running around while parents relaxed, and groups of friends laughed over games. The vibe was equal parts backyard barbecue and neighborhood block party, with the bonus of the Louisville skyline just across the river. It's the kind of place that works for almost anyone--families by day, friend groups into the evening, and anyone who likes their fun served with a side of sunshine and a cold drink in hand. One big personal downside is the non Heinz ketchup.:/ come on bro

    Games!

    Super fun evening! Had a birthday party for a 21 year old. The yard games were so fun. Good happy hour specials, good food! The nachos were a hit we shared two and had leftovers !

    Such a fun, and fabulous festival!! The Union restaurant is a unique restaurant with wonderful atmosphere and fantastic wait staff!! #buzzybooth

    The 3 little pigs sandwich
    Jeremiah K.

    This place was phenomenal. Our adorable little server was great and very patient with us. The food was amazing, I had the Cali burger and my girlfriend had the 3 little pigs. We also had the badger bites and the Van Damme which were both so good and looked exactly like the pictures we seen on Facebook. The bourbon fest is what brought us in here and it far ecceeded our expectations. We will definitely come back. Also our beautiful server Sara honestly made this experience that much better. #uniongameyard @union_restaurant_gameyard #buzzybooth

    Union Chicken Sandwich...the Fries are top tier
    Teresa R.

    Fantastic outdoor patio! Great for large groups or Date night. Fast casual concept. Place order at register, take table number and they bring the food to your table. CAUTION: portions are YUGE! The nachos could feed a team! Drinks were just as tasty as the food. Would definitely return when in the area.

    Place looks awesome! Unfortunately it was rainy, but don't let that stop you, it's an awesome place on in an awesome area. Can't wait to come back during better weather

    Are there any gluten free options on the menu? Looking to accommodate coworkers on future after work outings.

    Hey Kori. Not a ton of options especially for folks with Celiacs because potential cross contamination. Our In a Bowl section is easily gluten free. Other options as well… 

    Is it hard to park your car to go there? Is it street parking only or do they have a substantial parking lot?

    It really depends on when you go there. The public parking gets filled up quickly, especially on a warm evening.

    Is the outside area dog friendly?

    Yes it is. Until 9pm.

    Does anyone know their hours? Their Facebook is incorrect. It said they were open on Monday and they were not. Could not find the hours on their website either. Thank you!

    Hi Aysia! We are open 11a-11pm 7 days. Monday was just a 1 off issue. Sorry about that!

There's all of 3 indoor tables and not one was clean. Heaven forbid someone steps out from behind the counter and wipes a table or empties the over flowing trash can. But let's get to the BBQ. Barely smoked. Little seasoning. No bark. Honestly, we couldn't tell the difference between the pulled pork, brisket or chicken. Yes, BBQ should be moist. But ours was served dripping in liquid. The best part of our meal was the green beans. The pork rib was meaty, but again, without any true smoke flavor. The sampler I ordered, with 1/4 pound of brisket, pork and a single rib was way overpriced at $20 without so much as a roll or side. My wife's pulled chicken taco was ok, but she wasn't sure it was chicken in the tortilla. The taco was simply 2 small corn tortillas with a bit of chicken and a speck of Cole slaw as a topping. For $8 we expected something more substantial. Oh, but there's more. Beer &. BBQ go hand in hand. But River Road, which only serves bottled or canned beverages, had a broken cooler. Warm beer. Full price. As there was another huge cooler with plenty of room, we couldn't understand why they didn't move the beer to the working cooler. I pass River Road BBQ several times a week and was hoping it would become a regular stop on my way home. But barely average food with below average value just won't give me a reason to stop again.

Melts in your mouth and well seasoned. We loved the Mac and cheese, my wife is particular about that and this met her standards. The vinegar slaw was perfectly tangy and refreshing.

It made me star dipping everything in the sauce- slaw included!! Burgoo is fantastic!! With a gentle heat, I would get it alone if it came in a big bowl!

The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

Not only was she super patient but she recommended some great items and even threw in a free dessert since it was my first time. So let's go ahead and rate everything! The turkey was a 20 out of 10! Seriously some of the best smoked turkey I've tasted and it was super moist and it pairs nicely with the mesquite bbq sauce(TRUST ME). I also ordered the Mac & Cheese and I'd say it was a solid 8.5 out of 10. I'm a fan but it felt like it was missing a little something but overall just a great taste. The collard greens were delicious! Sweet but not overly done and I really loved that they didn't add meat and just kept it simple with peppers! Very good. The cornbread tasted like my mom was back there making it from scratch. Seriously good! Now for the grand finale? The peach cobbler!!! Are you serious?? This was sooooo good! The peaches, the crust? I mean it deserves an award. Overall probably some of the best dessert I've had in a long time! This place has a new fan and weekly customer, it's worth every penny, and I'm happy it's not far from home! I ordered to go and the service was beyond quick and food was hot even when I got home.
