Been here for happy hour, dinner and drinks on various occasions so thought it was time to write a review! Drink menu: I love their cocktails. We pops champagne is my favorite. Rooftop: The view from the rooftop is killer and it's really neat up there. They sell neat colorful sunglasses which is handy if you don't have any with you. I love my new pink ones! Food: Tasty salmon entree and their burgers are amazing! The Caesar salad was subpar. Downstairs nightclub: Pretty good for dancing, no where to sit unless you buy a VIP booth and limited drink options. Overall this is a cool place with an amazing rooftop and decent food. I'll hopefully be back soon! read more

Took my partner here for her birthday and she loves it. It's very nice and clean and our server was amazing. This place is a bit pricey but what can you say, it's downtown Minneapolis. It was worth the money. The lobster dip is a must try! read more

Mom said if you can't say anything nice... So we'll start with what works. From the originators of Crave. Professional and seemingly well-run. The space is incredible and the top floor will be incredibly cool on clear warm spring days and all through the summer and fall--when the glass roof slides open! Great view and the bartenders on this floor are top-shelf. Ryan is especially helpful and friendly. Food items on the upper level differ from those of lower floors. More of a Bistro groove. It's the perfect place to taste innovative cocktails such as the Garam-Marsala (from Hindi: garam ("hot") and masala ("mixture") flavored martini! As for the food served during the Mock Service, you have my sentiments here captured and expressed by other Yelpers. I won't dwell on our experiences as they were very unsatisfactory and the food --very disappointing. I'll reserve meaningful commentary until a second visit--hoping that the chef-missteps are corrected. Our dinner seating was on the main floor by the kitchen. Seating arrangements were comfortable and the sound level was also. Rachel, our server, was very attentive and professional. Next time... read more

Union Rooftop - @ Pre-opening with my sweetie at New Union restaurant. - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Overall it was a good experience. My food was good, the Nashville chicken Benedict. I'm a sucker for Nashville hot chicken and adding it to breakfast? Yes please. Also ordered a cinnamon roll, it was kinda average but good. Some of the food in a group came out cold but our server was very nice and got us replacements quickly. It's a very loud atmosphere so wear your party pants for brunch! read more

I came here with a friend for drag brunch this past Saturday. I'll try to just review the restaurant part of the experience, rather than the show (and obviously I'm not gonna review the individual queens who performed on here). Doors opened right around 10am (for the 10am show), and there was a pretty big crowd assembled on the lower level waiting to be let up to the rooftop. It was a nice day so the roof was retracted. Since it was just the two of us, we were seated at a communal table, though some people must have cancelled as there was nobody sitting next to us. The black foldout chairs were pretty uncomfortable - they leaned way back and didn't have much support in the back, so you sort of felt like you were about to fall through. (In fact, someone at our table had their chair collapse under them.) One of the communal tables had sturdier brown chairs, so go for those. Our waitress was really prompt and brought us mimosas and took our food orders (she suggested ordering right away to avoid the rush of people wanting to order food as soon as the show started). I got the breakfast wrap and my friend got the breakfast quesadilla. We both enjoyed our dishes but agreed there could have been more salsa (you'll see in my photo there's just a few pieces of tomato and red onion on a bed of lettuce). Our bottomless mimosas were kept full pretty regularly during the show, and our waitress notified us when the bar was about to close. The space was large enough that it never felt cramped during the performances. There were also folks walking around to sell shots and pins for charity (OutFront Minnesota). Our waitress was also prompt with the bill, which was really impressive given how many receipts and cards she had to manage at once. Speaking of which, I strongly recommend attending the earlier show - it ended right around noon, so I'm not sure how late the 12pm show started since there were a lot of people and dirty dishes that had to be cleared out. All in all, the brunch was great. It gets kind of expensive when you add in the cost of the ticket (FYI that is just a ticket and doesn't include any food or drinks) and the tips for the queens, so keep in mind that you're not just getting a meal, but a full experience. I definitely want to go again when I'm back in Minneapolis! read more

Great ambiance! I was there for the Drag Brunch. The Drag Brunch is held on the rooftop. SO much fun! It was a cold day, but that made no difference. The rooftop is heated. The roof is made of glass. The sun can be enjoyed through the glass in the warmth of the heat on colder days and is retractable to be open during warmer days. Smoked salmon hash browns and pork belly hash browns were delicious Decent mimosas. I had to ask for a glass of ice as they were pretty warm from sitting out. This was a fun even with tasty food. I would definitely recommend having brunch on the rooftop here. If it's during a drag brunch, that's a bonus. read more

I went here for the Drag Brunch show and the food was quite pricey but good. We got an order of French toast and fennel sausage flat bread. The French toast was good, but it wasn't extraordinary so I thought $16 for a serving was overpriced, beside, the serving size was quite small too. The flat bread was pretty good, the bread was crunchy and nice, the sausage was okay but the red pepper topping was a great addition. They popped in your month as you eating them, which was quite fun. The brussel sprouts was crispy but it wasn't enough of it, I thought more of the brussel sprouts would make the dish tastier. The service was fast and our server was really helpful. I would ordered the flat bread again but not the French toast. In general: Food: (compared to price) 3/5 Service: 5/5 read more

Visited here for drag brunch with a large group and the food was delicious! The show was also so fun and everyone had a good time here. People in my party did the unlimited mimosas and the waiter stopped by to refill their drinks and our waters every 5 minutes! You could tell they know what they're doing and it shows in their food and service. read more

Second time here. Same experience before. Rude server. He kept ignoring every time we called him, did not greet, did come after the water was served, we had to ask the guy cleaning who was great and all to call him over for refills. We are lucky we got our food because someone from the kitchen brings it. This server is rude. We heard other tables with the same issues and the same server. We were told to stay in our seats (table of 5 and one tab) to keep track of orders. It's like being in high school for attendance. We had a different server assigned to us and he was great. He told is the previous server was like that because he had to work on a Sunday. I had him before that, and no difference. I recommend coming here if you like being mistreated. Dick's restaurant at MOA has servants that are supposed to be rude, but does not compare to this guy's service. Someone go hire him there to get him on the right career path read more

I went the Union Rooftop for the first time a couple weeks ago and I really liked it! It was a fun environment for brunch and I loved that there were multiple vegan options. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the DJ and the volume of the music, I know that seems like a dumb thing to complain about, but it was just a bit too much at 10:30 in the morning, like we couldn't even have a conversation it was so loud. Overall, it was super fun and I definitely will be back for brunch! read more

Checked out the rooftop for lunch and enjoyed the experience. The view from the glass dome rooftop is fun. Our service was quick and friendly and the food was presented nicely. I had the pumpkin ravioli and really enjoyed it. Great flavor and just the right amount of food. It was topped with a bit too much vinegar perhaps. My friend had the oyster po'boy sandwich and said it was very good. The lunch menu item prices are on par with what you'd expect from a nice restaurant and we felt that we got what we paid for. I'll definitely be back to experience Union for happy hour and dinner. read more

Always a great time at Union Rooftop. I consider myself a regular of drag brunches, so I've been here quite a number of times. My experience this time was superb, mainly due to our server (Nicholas) giving us A+ service. He was quick to take our drink orders and made sure our bottomless mimosas were never empty. Given the price of $15 for bottomless mimosas, it was truly a blessing. Due to it being third winter, the glass roof was closed, but still provided a nice view of the city while indulging in drag queen entertainment, mimosas, and food. I ordered the stuffed French Toast with peach, maple syrup, and sausage. It was so delicious! For $13.95, it was well worth the cost and was perfectly filling. There are gendered bathrooms on the rooftop, which is super great and, should you attend during drag brunch, know that drag queens will be using them! More of a FYI, they're always super kind. Just don't get in their way! :) There are stairs and an elevator available, so the space is available for many different humans! read more

Came here after looking for a place with bottomless mimosas at the request of a friend visiting from out of town. Found this place and loved it! The reservations were flexible. Upon arrival, our table was ready and the server was very welcoming and helpful. We had a great balcony view of Hennepin Ave. The food was delicious and came out quickly. And yes, the mimosas were bottomless. Our waitress was always quick to refill. I will return to Union Rooftop! read more

This place is a well oiled machine! We went for drag brunch and had a blast. It's a beautiful space, easy to get a drink and relax before you shuffled upstairs for the show. The wait staff is incredible, very quick and somehow they maneuver the small space with great ease. The food is great, but the servings are huge, and tables tiny, so during a vibrant drag performance- it's challenging to finish your meal. The drinks are great and fairly priced. $16.95 for bottomless mimosas! But man, it's tight! Like zero room. I would have loved to have felt a little more comfortable space wise. And if the performers, and servers had more room to do their jobs, the whole experience could only be better. The tiny tables are all very close together and it feels like a fire hazard. There's no way we could all get down those stairs safely in an emergency. The organization that managed the drag show aspect was great and put on an awesome show! I recommend drag brunch here to anyone who hasn't been. But I'm not sure we will be back. read more

ugh.... where to start? This place needs a head-to-toe cleaning, If the public areas look the way they do, what shape is the kitchen in? If the 1st floor bar area is your entrance point, shouldn't that be setting the standard? I mean the place clearly hadn't been touched the night before.... Why bother cleaning it at all. No worries.... they didn't. So what does it cost to steam clean an elevator? The answer is it doesn't matter because if you have to ask, it clearly needs it so pay the bill already. Food.... ambitious brunch menu with ambitious pricing. Given that, food should be fresh, not pre-made and clearly sitting around. Also, eggs made to order should be as ordered. Eggs over rubber? Pass. Cinnamon Bread French Toast should be fully baked before made into french toast. If I wanted undercooked dough I'd pop a canister of pillsbury. The fruit was delicious.... the nagging fruit flies we could have done without. Also, if you got a DJ starting at 11, probably don't leave a table right in front of the DJ "both" space and seat 4 for bunch at it. Once DJ Cali Surfer Flunky showed up on his skateboard and pushed his booth away from the wall there was no room for the hurried waitstaff to get to their tables. Service was attentive and prompt. The hostesses really need to find other work. If only they put as much effort into their jobs as they do into doing their makeup. read more

Really awful place. Booked a table in advance. When we got here we were told we had to sit outside where it was absolutely freezing. Host staff was rude and condescending when we expressed concern. read more

I have never been here before but have heard of it. I went with a group of friends after a night out on the town for Brunch. You need to have a reservation in order to even eat Brunch and there's a 90 minute maximum for each table. All right-y so tables and chairs are very cheap and we were so close to the other tables I felt as though we all could of buddied up and ate together. There was a DJ at 11 in the morning.............. I'm sorry but after a night out, I don't want to go to brunch and have a DJ blasting music and remixes while I'm eating my eggs. Food was actually really good(reason for the stars), overpriced but good. It is your typical brunch food. I had the Biscuits and Gravy which was so good! Bloody Mary was your typical Bloody Mary. Maybe I will try going out for Dinner here, but Brunch is out of the question. I can somewhere else and get the same food, with cheaper prices and free parking. read more

Swanky vibe, eggs Benedict's was a huge miss as in you couldn't get a fork into the muffin due to it being hard as a rock, To their credit They took the dishes off the Bill at the first mention of issue they will treat you right! The breakfast sampler was a total home run! I would give them a second shot next time I'm in Minneapolis read more

Bouncers are blind. They through out my friend for "throwing up on the stairs" but I was with her and she only took the elevator and she didn't even have 2 drinks! We spent $40 to be there too! Dumb, blind, and not worth the money. Go somewhere else, I definitely will. read more

Take Note: If you are trying to be on the Union Rooftop at night, it's important to know that their rooftop does not open until 6:30pm. They will not let you join the wait list until 6:30pm either. We attempted to ask to join the list, and we were told it would be over an hour wait. This is the usual for Union, so expect that when coming in. Being that we didn't want to wait the extra hour, we ended up dining inside. It was nice to be on the rooftop for a little bit, but it's packed, so we figured getting a drink/food inside would be a lot better anyway. If you are able to make it onto the rooftop for any amount of time, you will easily be distracted by your surroundings. The buildings around the rooftop along with the glass roof make for some pretty upscale scenery. I hope that I can experience the rooftop for a longer amount of time next time, but Union as a business, is a very fun place to be! We plan to be back to the rooftop when they serve brunch...I've only heard good things about their brunch! I know they host a variety of events, so I'm looking forward to attending those as well. read more

Bar service was super friendly and you can't beat the atmosphere. Sunshine, good food and the DJ outdoors. Enjoy

Union Rooftop has a great atmosphere but the food is mediocre. We went with a group of 13 so we tried a lot of the menu items. The good- half roasted chicken and the short ribs The bad- flatbread pizza was not liked by kids or adults. The filet minon was really disappointing! I'll go back for drinks but for the food again. read more

Came in from out of town and made reservations at Union Rooftop for our Anniversary Dinner. We were seated by the host and waited for over 15 minutes with no service. I shouldn't have to beg for service at a nice place with expensive prices so we left. Also, the place was about 30% full on a Saturday evening at 7pm, not a good sign.... Wouldn't recommend. read more

A friend and I were at the State Theatre across the street and hopped over here for lunch on the rooftop. Good view and it's great on a beautiful day! We sat right against the railing... be warned that if you have any papers, make sure you put weight on it because it WILL fly over the edge! I ordered the salmon with asparagus and it was super bland and tasteless :/ my friend ordered the chicken sliders and said the same unfortunately. The service was pretty hit or miss for it being pretty empty. For the most part prices were comparable to any other downtown restaurant though, but I probably won't be heading back anytime soon. read more

Union Rooftop - Covered rooftop - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Big reason why I come to Union Rooftop is for the theme drag brunches with Filp Phone. So my review will be focused on that experience. This place is great if you are looking to catch some sun and enjoy a place that has a rooftop. For the drag brunch, there is a cover fee of 8 dollars. It is a must to make a reservation or risk finding a spot at the bar. Service can be hit or miss as it can be slow or really quick. The food is solid. I have yet to find out a stand out food item. I have had the breakfast quesadilla and specialist hash brown. They were alright. Great thing about doing a brunch is only thing that does is the bottomless mimosa for 15 dollars. They do a great job refilling to ensuring that the glass does not reach the bottom. When you come to these drag brunches, you won't be disappointed as these performances are great! read more

The food was OK. the service was less than desirable. I am Vegan. When we sat down, I asked the waitress, Connor, how would I know what on the menu is vegan. As I asked that I saw a legend at the bottom of the page that said vegan = VN. So I said, oh, VN is vegan. And the waitress said 'yes'. that was it. I ordered the Brussel sprouts that had a 'VN'. When it arrived, there seemed to be what looked like Parmesan cheese on there. when I said something to the waitress, she claimed that she explained to me how anything with a 'VN' can be 'made' vegan. which was clearly a lie. when I tried to point out that she never actually SAID any of that. She accused me of yelling at her. I never raised my voice. I simply would not agree with her. Quite frankly, even if she had explained that (which she didn't). she still was doing a bad job as a server. A good job would have been 1. once I pointed out that I was vegan, to tell me that my order comes with cheese and would I like it without. and/or 2. once it came and I mentioned that it had cheese - instead of arguing with me, just say, "sorry for any miscommunication. yes, anything with a VN can be made vegan upon request. Let me get you a vegan version right away. " instead it was more important for her to lie and argue and accuse me of yelling. it probably came from a place of guild that she did not do a good job. The manager mad it right in 1/2 a minute by coming over and offering me a vegan version. That's all it took. read more

I would give them 4.5 stars if I could, but everyone could use a roundup every now and then :) Union was really great! Stopped in for brunch at the bar, which had a decent amount of open seating for prime time on a Sunday. I had the Cinnaroll French Toast and my dad got a Bacon Egg and Cheese on an English Muffin, both of which were extremely good. Our bartender, Taylor, was top notch, SUPER personable, and made a great mimosa. The only reason the last half a star is missing (technically) is because the prices were just ever so slightly higher than we expected. All in all, killer experience! Definitely recommend it! read more

The server Tyler got us seated in a timely matter. I ordered the the Fresh Cut Truffle Fries and Vegetable Stir Fry Bowl. The Fresh Cut Truffle Fries were perfect. I'll give it an 8/10 (could've been bigger in portion). The Vegetable Stir Fry Bowl was more like a Pad thai. (7.5/10 just because I asked for added chicken and the dish had two pieces) read more

I am not really sure why Union Rooftop only has 3 stars we really enjoyed our time there. I made a reservation for 8 people for dinner at the rooftop. The views are nothing compared to Chicago roof tops but I can never get enough of pretty city lights. We had Alysha (sp?) as our server. She did inform us that she was relatively new so she didn't know answers to a couple of our questions. We had tuna poké, duck buns, and manchego cheese sticks as our appetizers. The poké was super fresh and tasty and the manchego cheese sticks were my favorite. Crispy and filled with a good amount of manchego. The duck buns were tender and full of flavor as well. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and my husband ordered the short rib entree. Both were just delicious! Big enough portions for both of us to share. The drink menu is extensive. Try the pepino drink it is extremely refreshing. I will say that the roof top can still be pretty chilly in below 0 degree weather. I recommend they get some indoor heaters. After dinner we stuck around for their NYE party. What a treat! 3 floors of dancing with all the great music. We stayed in the basement floor for the most part. They played old school hip hop, top 40 and even some current spanish songs. Our group of 8 friends was more than happy! I bet this place is awesome in the summer. If you are visiting from out of town I would definitely check them out! read more

Be careful here. I went here on a Sunday night and the bouncers were trying to charge people 60 dollar cover charges, had zero authority, and caused a lot of aggressiveness in the lines which we don't need in Minnesota right now. I live in Oakland CA and this was easily the most unsafe I've ever felt and I think it was due to the atmosphere of the workers there. Don't go here unless you want to get yelled at, hurt or even worse die which could easily turn that way. read more

$20 cover on a Thursday night, a Thursday lol. Don't even bother. And ridiculous drink prices. I'm in the industry, I get it. But be real. Charge a bit less for drinks and then people will buy more and everyone, customers and staff, will have a much better time. read more

Average to mediocre. I've been here before (pre-COVID) and it's just missing something now. Everyone who sat down and ordered after us got their drinks before us, our server didn't bother to check back until we were done with our meal (and we would have ordered another round of drinks), the entrées arrived literally 30 seconds after our appetizer, the drinks were creative but weak. My fish was only mildly warm when it arrived and wasn't anything special. Definitely lackluster. read more

Spectacular Venue! Good service. Great apps. Only ding were the cocktails, less than expected for the price. Regardless we'll be back! Would love to do our company meeting here someday! read more

This is one of the coolest rooftops in all of downtown Minneapolis. It is a year round roof top so that already raises the bar to others. The drinks and cocktails are always pretty delish! I knocked them a star because I feel the food is average and a little over priced. On your birthday they do bring out chocolate cake with a sparkler and I would be surprised if you didn't see a birthday during your visit. I would still like to make it back for a Drag Brunch. read more
