Chicago's 12 Best New Restaurants Of 2022
"Union is a typical-looking Logan Square bar where you can get an unexpectedly fantastic dinner to go with your drink. It’s the sister restaurant of Lardon (of 2021’s Best New Restaurants fame), and it really wants to feed you—in fact, you should prioritize eating over drinks. The dishes at this loud, crowded spot have little twists that make them the Kayser Söze of the usual pub food suspects— like lightly breaded fried olives filled with mortadella, or lamb and pistachio meatballs swimming in a caper salsa verde. Proof that Union is actually a bar: It’s open until 1am, has a ton of beer on tap, the bar itself takes up most of the space, and is occupied with a regular nicknamed “Two-Shirts.” We made one of those up." - adrian kane, john ringor
