"Union Street Brewing opened in July 2023 and quickly made a name for itself by producing easy-drinking, accessible beer. It doesn’t hurt that they brought in a world-class brewer, whose extensive experience at Alewife in Queens and Sixpoint in Brooklyn lent some early street cred. It’s situated only a few blocks away from the high-traffic Warren Street—where you can easily drop a few thousand dollars on a ceramic horse or antique clock—and is the perfect place to sit down for a bit, have a few beers, and split some appetizers. The outdoor patio is dog- and kid-friendly (though on Fridays and Saturdays you’ll want to tuck the kids in by 6pm, when it becomes adults-only), so bring a big group and share the salad, big pretzel, and tacos, all paired with a Planning an Escape hazy IPA, or the Canceling Plans West Coast IPA." - keith hernandez
