The Union Pub and Grill — Restaurant in Huntington

My wife and I went to The Union the past two Mondays since our local Southside Bar is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. While there is no food service at The Union on Monday evening the bartender was super nice and I had a beer and my wife a mixed drink at a reasonable price. We finished and paid our check. All was good. But the Monday bartender suggested we come back and try the fried pickles. Fast forward to Friday, April 19th at about 5:30pm.

We entered The Union and were greeted by a nice gentleman. We found two seats at the bar. I ordered a Budweiser and my wife ordered a Bahama Mama. We were asked to pay upfront which is I guess their policy. We asked for menu's to order food. The bartender said that if you order food it will come out "back there" and you will have to get it yourself. Strange and not customer focused but if that is your policy so be it. We waited and nobody ever came back to take our order or ask if we wanted another drink. We left and took ourselves and our money to our local Southside Bar where we were greeted and both had burgers and fries. We were not told that our food would come out somewhere, the bartenders brought it to us with a smile.

So to the owner of The Union, you have a nice place and on Monday your bartender is awesome. But our experience on April 19th left us more than disappointed. We love to support local businesses and I guess we will continue to patronize our local bar where our business is appreciated. By the way we are in our early 60's and I am a disabled veteran and my wife is a retired law enforcement officer. Not that it matters though. We wish you well and hope your business is a great success for many...

Came from out of town with friends. Was treated very poorly and will never go back. Food was awful and took about an hour to be helped at the bar as they were helping people who came up after me but helped them because they knew them. Not to mention I had to explain how to make a tequila sunrise …. I also witnessed the partaking of drugs in the bathroom. A SHAME. If you’re looking for a country bumpkin bar this is your place… The music is awful. There was pee all over the WOMENS bathroom including no toliet paper. This place is a total nightmare, Including fights where they kick out the victims sigh. I can go on and on about how awful this place is. Staff is unprofessional and flirts with married men for about 2...
