For your information since you don't know your laws.
Breanna T.

Extremely rude manager!!! Just got told I couldn't bring my service animal inside and the manager basically argued with me saying he wasn't a service animal and that's actually against ADA law to even ask someone. First time here and I will never come back. The server was extremely nice and it's unfortunate they have a racist manager running the place. He told my friend she could come in but I couldn't, I wonder if it's because I'm black and she's white because she definitely had her dog there as well! Update: since he has time to respond but not time to read the ADA law, service animals are NOT required to wear vest. We only came inside because the server told us to! We wanted to sit outside and before we did, I asked her if dogs were allowed and she said yes! You were completely rude to me and you know it, for you to say my friend could come in was pointless! She had a dog with her as well. But thank you for showing your true colors, I would never waste a dime at your restaurant. Do better!!!

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!

[[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.

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

[[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

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 !

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

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!

Visited Pearl Street Taphouse on the recommendation of a friend - our visit was early afternoon on…read morea Friday as to not run into a crowd. 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.

We were a party of eight outside on the patio. The restaurant was not overly busy. Service was…read moredevastatingly slow and haphazard. A group of four that arrived after us was served, and left before our waitress brought our food. Our waitress was pleasant enough, but she was a ghost - we rarely saw her. Even water was slow to arrive. One man in our party went to his car to get his own water bottle. The fish nuggets in the fish and chips were not done. Potato salad had little flavor. The huge pretzel was a hit, but not much else. Too bad. We had high hopes. Addendum: the owner's response is basically the same excuse she's repeated to nearly every less than good review. 1,) I wish I'd read reviews first, 2,) they should actually work on improving food and process rather than making excuses if they don't want to close the doors.

We LOVE the salads here. They are huge and fresh and always delicious. Between our family this summer we've also tried burgers, chicken, ribs, seafood boils, mac and cheese, and green beans. Nothing has disappointed! Also, the snow cones here are the absolute smoothest I have ever had. Such a nice treat on a hot summer day! We have interacted with owner multiple times and he has such a welcoming personality. He and his family are doing a great job running this restaurant. They are very conscious about the pandemic and are currently operating curb side only. You can call ahead to save time or place your order from the parking lot. Support local and give them a try, I'm so glad we did!

Well the wings were so good I ate 3 while I was driving. I don't know if it was the sauce or the spices but it was perfection! They were cooked to perfection crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I am so glad they are not closer because I would eat here daily. The service was great and I got my food in about 20 minutes. It's cooked when you order no heat lamps.
