    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!

    Still a solid establishment - though they've done some updating particularly downstairs. They've…read moreunfortunately slightly downscaled their collection of arcade games (including getting rid of my favorite one Galaga - which is unfortunate because that should be a staple of the place) but added extra seating and beautiful lighting. It's very low lit and romantic and very atmospheric downstairs and I love that. They've also added several vintage TVs that you can play a variety of video games on (including Xbox) and they've got a tv playing the rugrats movie apparently too hahaha. I like that aspect. Just wish they would add a few more arcade games down there. Including Galaga and Joust (which they also removed). They have a tabletop version of Galaga but it was broke... speaking of broke a couple other games didn't work either. The dig dug stick got stuck a couple times. But most of the games worked fine . I got one draft beer that was 7 dollars - overpriced in my opinion but decent tasting. It's still a super fun place to visit. Drink, have fun, chill out, eat. It's novel atmosphere very welcoming and colorful and enjoyable. Exactly the wholesome kind of spot for young and old alike.

    What a fun, busy place. The upstairs, main area is where you will find the bowling lanes. With that…read morefamiliar bowling ball bounce noise with the clatter of the pins falling. Bar up here to serve you your libations. If you come here for an event, it is most likely in the downstairs area. If you are come for an event, use the other entrances to enter. I had no idea about this until I had gone upstairs and they directed me to the area. Your best bet, stay inside here as much as you can. Outside has an odor, so yeah, keep yourself inside, that's the only bad thing about this area. I guess the odor all depends on which way the wind blows. The downstairs portion of this place is huge. Offers a lot of options and is a great place to hold an event. There is a bar down here as well serving up your drinks. But there are more activities down here than just the bowling lanes upstairs. Darts, pinball, karaoke, pool tables, and probably the better of the floors here. Not taking anything away from the lanes upstairs, but you can only bowl so many games. If you are looking for a place that will offer you more things to do to fill your entire night.

    3.5 overall…read more Another visit to Vernon Lanes for both bowling and dinner. We were there on a Wednesday night and even at 7 PM, we were the only lane reservation. It was quite some time before we saw any other bowlers. I do wish that you could rent (during some of the weeknights) by game instead of by the hour. It's really tough to get in a full game and paying for two hours of bowling isn't always in the budget. Otherwise, no issue with the bowling lanes or shoe rental. Food was hit or miss this time. The buffalo chicken dip was a hit amongst several of us; however, my husband only ate a few bites of his fish and said that it was much too fishy. The burger also received mixed reviews. We didn't realize it came as two patties. While it was a very hefty portion, half of the group felt like it was boring. Service was quick and friendly. The parking lot does get quite full, especially if there is trivia downstairs. You may need to locate a spot along the street rather than their parking lot.

It was my first time in Louisville and I saw that this place was really close to where I was grabbing dinner, so I wanted to stop by and grab a drink and check this place out. I'm assuming the area this bar is located in is the hipster area of Louisville. I'm not 100% sure, but having lived in Silver Lake (LA, CA) for a few years, there definitely was some recognizable symptoms of a hipster neighborhood. There's different sake beverages on the menu as well as a really solid, albeit small selection of whiskey (with more than reasonable prices too!). I ordered one of the individually packaged sakes and it was tasty. I got to look around and talk to the bartender a bit. He mentioned they had karaoke on Thursdays and are open to 4am (holy moly - so used to 2am on the west coast). I really wanted to come back, but was just so spent after dinner. It's a shame I couldn't hang out longer or just experience more of what this bar has to offer, but from what I experienced so far, a really great place!
