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

[[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!

This is a very generous 3 stars. For those who say this is the best BBQ you've ever tasted, you…read moreneed to get out more. First, the place is filthy. 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.

So the other day I was craving BBQ. I had to work late and the places I normally go were closing…read more I stopped by and couldn't decide what to wanted. So I got the meat platter and a chicken sandwich. My food was delicious. It has been a long time since I had been there. The staff were friendly and respectful. I did carryout so I didn't stay inside to eat since they were nearing closing time. Super friendly service. It's just one of those places you gotta stop by and eat. They are local. I love supporting local and as a lover of BBQ they are top of my list. Go check them out. It's small but mighty.

They call it the 2nd best BBQ in Kentucky , but we call it the best we have ever had!!…read more The brisket deserves a bite all by itself before you add sauce. 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. And the sweet potato fries are exactly what you need to dip into those sauces. Get the hot bbq sauce and add the vinegar sauce!! Even as I type I have a nice warmth in my mouth and throat. 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! With so much meat, corn, Lima beans, and carrots but it is the broth (sauce?) that gets you hooked. We had the Ale8-1 Burton slushy, which is sweet and refreshing on a hot day. And for desert we had to try the bourbon bites! Wow! Try to save room. Love the music in the background and casual atmosphere which would be fun for families or friend to meet. They service is friendly and helpful for us newbies! Wish we lived near by, so order up and enjoy!

The chicken was extremely dry and had an overly smoky, almost burnt wood taste. The only things our group actually enjoyed were the coleslaw and the tater tots. Even the potato salad tasted store-bought and appeared to come straight from a carton rather than being homemade. Most of us ended up leaving a good portion of food on our plates. For the price, it just wasn't worth it. That said, the staff was very friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the visit, and they did have a really good selection of beers. I hate leaving negative reviews because the service side of the experience was great -- we were just very disappointed with the food.

The sauce deserves to be bottled and sold everywhere--it's that good. The portions are spot-on for the price, and the quality across the board is unreal. The macaroni and cheese might be the best thing on the menu, with the beans right there behind it--but trying to rank anything feels pointless when everything hits at such a high level. What really sets it apart though is the consistency and care you can taste in every bite. This isn't just good BBQ--it's the kind of place you go out of your way for, the kind you bring people to when you want to show them what real deal BBQ is supposed to taste like. Add in incredibly kind and welcoming management, and it's not even a question--this place is going to be a 5-star staple.

They let us know they're open Friday-Sunday with running specials each day. And they're open March to November. They also do Smoked turkeys & other meats for Thanksgiving. The smoked meat was great & the warmed bottle of bbq sauce on the side was a nice touch. Our personal favorite sides were Mac & cheese & the potato salad. The baked beans are good with a unique flavor (I want to say all spice) The other sides were just average but not bad. Overall we loved this place & will definitely be back. Most likely ordering that smoked turkey for our next Holiday event. :)

The collared greens are so flavorful I could live off those. The potato salad is so tasty with a mustard flavor that doesn't overwhelm but gives the flavor profile some texture. The mac n cheese is so creamy and cheesy. I have a hard time choosing which side to get with my meal. The staff is great! They are friendly and patient.

One of the staff brought some complimentary cookies to the table for one of our guys who had served. What a nice gesture! Looking forward to return visits in the near future. Appreciate the concept and honoring our service members. I did deduct 1 star this time since one of my friends informed me about something that caused him to pause. He stated a bit of an "ick" that the photos of women service members are apparently displayed in the men's restroom in the stalls. Can't help but feel it's a bit disrespectful and wish those were displayed in the restaurant with all of the other service members. I'll check out the women's facilities during my next visit to see if perhaps a commensurate display of service members is also similarly in place.

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. 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.

It's definitely not 4 star…read morenoted and maybe not the best exclusive signage and overall 4 star appeal; but it a diamond in the rough, persa. This place is quaint, nice location (on a corner ) decent seating, not a big outdoor dining area, the bar is long and has the memories of the old day saloon. Now the food; terribly good! Menu isn't extensive but good items and variety that will satisfy anyone's appetite. It was Father's Day but as soon as it opened they were quickly filled with patrons and people kept coming; even waiting to get in. The fries in duck fat were awesome. Since so many baskets of fries like this for a long time. The smoked wings are great, meaty and savory. I had the pork belly tacos; my only disappointment was you only get 2 per order. The fine combination of ingredients were splendid and the pork belly so tender. My wife had the bbq pork sandwich on pretzel bun. Very good tasting and this was with no bbq sauce on it. If you're in the area, do yourself a a favor and stop in. I can't wait to go back ( as we live in southern Indiana) so might be a bit but definitely want to try a few other items.

Immediately upon walking in you can smell the Smokey flavors brewing!! The young lady at the front desk was super helpful, as a first timer I had no idea what to order and I'm a bit indecisive when it comes to food! 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.
