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

    What a great concept! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sit and eat, or kill time playing games :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic little spot located right off of the big floor bridge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful when the weather is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of options for kids and adults to play and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Games!

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

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The big open GameYard was alive with action--people playing bocce, regular and even giant corn hole, while a few groups lounged in cabanas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We grabbed a couple of drinks, found a sunny spot, and took in the scene.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Families were hanging out, kids running around while parents relaxed, and groups of friends laughed over games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was equal parts backyard barbecue and neighborhood block party, with the bonus of the Louisville skyline just across the river.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One big personal downside is the non Heinz ketchup.:/ come on bro

    The 3 little pigs sandwich

    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

    Union Game Yard is a really cool concept and space - lots of cool spaces, games, and music! It's dog and group friendly with cabanas you can rent (and reasonable rates!). That being said, it was super loud - hard to chat with friends without shouting, tons of kids running around unsupervised earlier in the evening (not the venues fault - and I love kids, but it was a little stressful). The food was good and reasonably priced but I felt the cocktails were pricey. Service was good - lots of attentive people, and the lady at the indoor bar was fun to chat with! For a more positive experience, I wish they would lower the volume from the dj just a ji

    Like coming to this place; had family get together and had fun with drinks and games and nice outdoor seating. Bartender was nice and cordial and speedy. We didn't eat here, somewhat limited menu, but the place is great to hang out at.

    Ask the Community - Union Restaurant & GameYard

    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!

    We can't believe it took us this long to discover Pearl Street Taphouse. Although it's been around,…read moretonight was our family's first visit--and it absolutely will not be our last. There were six of us, and every single person at the table was genuinely thrilled with their meal. The food was outstanding across the board--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care--and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions. We also enjoyed the drinks--a cider and a chocolate stout--both of which were excellent. It's rare to find a place where everyone walks away happy, but Pearl Street Taphouse managed it effortlessly. The unanimous decision before we even left was to meet back there again next week for dinner. That alone says everything. Highly recommend this local gem--we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Seating was available inside and out - accessible seating for those in a wheelchair would be difficult indoors due to limited space - tables are very close together. We elected to sit indoors due to the heat and had no trouble finding an available table. 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.

The inside is like an industrial style bar & the murals & decor were interesting and quirky. I really loved their chicken katsu sandwich, very thick and tender. Nicely made!! I enjoyed their kale salad mixed with toppings. My partner order the burger and that was delicious, their patty is thin which I prefer for burgers & they had a spicy mayo and smoked ketchup which paired well with both entrees! definitely has a kick to it! I would love to eat here again & try other items on the menu, I definitely want to give the Cuban sandwich a try.

    Visited Grind Burger Kitchen in Louisville during a family trip and had a pretty mixed experience…read more We arrived around 6:30 PM and were told there would be about an hour wait, which was fine--we're new to town, so we figured we'd walk around and explore while we waited. We were told to come back at 7:00 PM, so we did. When we returned, we were seated, but then told it would be another hour before our order could even be taken and our food brought out. That part was really frustrating--if we had known that upfront when we first put our name down, we could have planned differently. As for the food, it was decent. The burger itself was delicious and definitely the highlight. The fries were very oily but crispy--I personally liked them since I prefer well-done fries, but my daughter wasn't a fan. The layout of the place was also a bit confusing--it took a while to even find the restroom since it was tucked away in another area. Service-wise, I also had to ask for a refill--and only got one--which was disappointing, especially with such a big burger. Overall, spending close to three hours from arrival to finishing our meal just didn't feel worth it, especially with the lack of communication about wait times and limited service. Not a terrible spot food-wise, but the experience could definitely be improved.
