Union House by Trailway — Restaurant in Saint John

Was a bit of a let down to be honest after having waited a while for it to open. I understand the time needed to iron out the kinks but tbh the fact that having flights at a brewery/pub was never a consideration right off the bat is a huge let down . For me personally it's a huge part of the appeal. I'd much rather pay $2 more per person but sample 4 beers rather than 1. Then, even though I follow all the Facebook updates, I come to find out that Physica was no longer on tap. Another let down, which couldve been avoided with real time FB or Untapped updates. And last, Poutine which again was highly spoken of before, was served to us lukewarm and cheese curds not just not melted but rubbery and cold. Really ab offense to poutines all around. I'm obviously a huge Trailway fan and this won't stop me from filling a growler here but in my honest opinion it just doesn't measure up to the Fredericton location, the vibe and service just isn't...

Visited on July 22, 2023, in the evening. Located in the northern part of Uptown st. John, in the former First City Brewpub that closed in the Fall of 2021 (which Trailway Brewing Co. would reopened it the next year), just a block away from the Saint John City Market. This place, where you'll find Trailway beers on tap and to go, is named for the street where they are located. A well lit pub, white walls with some decoration, no bar in this small place, mostly tables and stools at the window (and a small patio on the side street). Medium size tap list of their own beers, some are quite interesting, I had their triple which was good. Their other speciality are smash burgers, basically it's a meat patty that has been flattened to cardboard fine, and it was good. I went there because I was parked almost in front...

So, recently my fiancé and I had a bit of an upset when we were spiked with meat (veggies!) in a broccoli cheddar soup dish at our favorite date spot, one of my first ever meals in Canada was there, and I was very unhappy.

The next day, we saw Union House since we live nearby and decided to drop in, and we both ordered the Vegetarian smash burger with poutine, and let me just tell you, we have a new date spot. It was quite honestly the best burger I’ve ever had, admittedly (much to my scale’s chagrin) we actually went twice in the same week and THIS PLACE DOES NOT MISS.

The staff was amazing and even upon arrival seemed busy, but never once did we feel ignored or have any negative feelings, the lady at the counter was so sweet and super helpful, this place is a bit of a hidden gem and I am...
