"From the Clarkston-based Union Joints restaurant group that brought Southeast Michigan the Clarkston Union, Vinsetta Garage, Mom’s Spaghetti, and plenty of other places with the word “union” in it, Union Assembly in downtown Detroit is the place to eat, drink, and people watch before and after a game or concert downtown. The massive two-story space offers a second-floor lounge, indoor and outdoor bars, and a three-season terrace that overlooks all the action on Woodward Avenue. The upscale comfort fare — including the famous Union Mac & Cheese with Vermont sharp cheddar, Pinconning, penne, and a crunchy parm crust — goes nicely with Casa Builder’s Marg, with Astral Blanco, charred pineapple, yuzu, sage, and chipotle salt." - Vox Creative
"The menu features Detroit-style pizza, triple pepper buffalo wings, macaroni and cheese, blood orange barbecue ribs, a variety of salads, and an extensive array of beers, wine, and cocktails like the Jobbie Nooner made with Tito’s Vodka, rosemary Demerara, and lime juice. If you’re looking for a little something touristy to write home about, head around the corner to the alleyway window service eatery Mom’s Spaghetti, a collaboration between Union Assembly and Eminem, where diners can get a to-go carton of spaghetti and take a stroll to nearby Grand Circus Park." - Serena Maria Daniels
