Craft beer bar with impressive whiskey selection & creative American dishes
"A beer‑hall style bar in Logan Square operated by Steve Lewis that is part of his trio of venues and contributes to shared staffing and programming across the group." - Ashok Selvam
"This Logan Square restaurant has a large bar with plenty of room, and the softly lit wooden space creates a warm, welcoming feeling that, if this were in a rom-com, would restore anyone’s faith in humanity. And if the atmosphere isn’t convincing enough, their burger is. It comes with a thick brisket patty, topped with aged cheddar and crispy onion bits that are like elevated Funyuns—but it’s the beefy bone marrow aioli that takes this burger to the next level. It’s also what makes it extra rich and worth pairing with one of the lighter beers from their 24 on tap." - john ringor, veda kilaru
"A casual beer-focused pub and sister spot to neighboring charcuterie palace Lardon, Union has sought to do right by Chicago’s vibrant brewery scene by highlighting some of the best suds in town. What sets it apart, however, are top-notch bartenders (with access to a sizable whiskey selection) and a food menu that eschews humdrum bar fare in favor of seasonal burrata, fun salads, and a habit-forming cheeseburger." - Eater Staff
"An American restaurant offering a menu of classic and contemporary American dishes." - MICHELIN Guide
"Union is the neighborhood bar/restaurant that you want to have right around the corner during Chicago’s seemingly endless winter. They have a great burger, fantastic drinks, and warm, inviting energy even when it’s packed. Whether you’re sitting in a booth, communal table, or drinking at the bar, this is a place to get lost in thought while nursing either of their four fantastic Old Fashioned options, made with either whiskey, bourbon, or rum. The warmth of its amber lighting mixed with its wooden and brick interior make it cozy enough to melt away any icicles that might have formed around your face on the walk there." - john ringor
