I had such a great experience at Union Cafe! The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything came out perfectly and you can tell they really care about quality. It’s such a fun spot whether you’re going for brunch, dinner, or just drinks with friends.
Our server, Bryce, truly made the night unforgettable. He was so friendly, attentive, and just had the best energy the entire time. He made awesome recommendations and made sure we were taken care of without ever feeling rushed. His service honestly elevated the whole experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Bar vibes but 5 star restaurant food. This LGBTQ+ friendly restaurant is right in the middle of short north. They have a good sized covered patio that faces the action on the street. Inside they have TVs with music videos playing. The first time I came here I was a bit too nervous to oder mussles at a bar but I was shocked at how good the food was. Now I sometimes come here just for a nice meal. My server, Jose remembered from last time that I like my broccoli burt, just like mom used to make. He talked to the kitchen and now Chandler will be custom burning my broccoli every time lol. The salmon is cooked perfect (not burnt.)

I haven’t been to the Union Cafe for many many years because I live out of town. Some friends and I went there on Sunday, December 7th for the Sunday drag brunch. I absolutely had a wonderful time. The Queens were absolutely wonderful. The staff was great, particularly our waiter. Bryce and which made Sunday brunch a very enjoyable time hopefully my friends and I can come back to Columbus once every few months or so just to go to the drag brunch. It was great

I really miss the “old” Union. A time when the service was top notch and the bar was always packed on the weekends. It seems the past few years it has been slowly slipping away, from the horrible service (waited 20 minutes) for a server, when they finally took our drink order, they never came back to see if we wanted to order food. We just cashed out and went to another restaurant. I’ve also noticed the bar isn’t as well kept as it used to be. Notice the tvs broken/ missing that used to show upcoming events and very unsturdy tables recently placed on the patio. This place deserves better…

If I could give a zero, I would. We had 11:30 reservation for 4 ppl the day after Pride. The bar wasn’t full and there was a drag show. We finally get two of our plates at 1pm. We waited almost two hours. We spoke to the manager and they offered to comp our drinks and offered us 20% off our meal so we kept waiting. The food was cold when it arrived. We never got our second round of drinks. That was the last straw. We actually walked out and went down the street. At another restaurant we got seated without a reservation and we were eating within 15 mins. Very disappointed in Union.

Had a blast here watching the Drag Race finale and meeting new friends. Yes their food menu has changed to a smaller, more focused menu but their cocktail menu is huge! Ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla and some fun drinks. Our server Nick was awesome!

i ate the most delicious burger and fries of my life there with my friend and his dad genuinely. i have missed the taste of it ever since. coming from a small town where i feel like an outsider, i felt very welcomed there, and our waitress had such a kind aura. the music was very loud and i usually don’t like things that are very loud but it was greatly surpassed by everything else around me, and i was overwhelmed in a good way. to whoever cooked my food and served me that night, i will appreciate you for the rest of my life

Union is great for drinks! They’ll definitely get you where you want to be and QUICK. I frequently come here for that and may try something off the food menu which isn’t too bad but definitely not my place to come for food. The music just isn’t my type of vibe like ever. That alone makes for a quick stop. To each its own. I’ve had the Mexican bowl with salmon and it was very disappointed. The salmon had zero flavor and the bowl was simple rice with salsa sauce. Yuck. So I’m good on the food. Definitely has great photo presentation.

I show up and wait patiently for a drink and get shoulder checked by children in comparison. bc they say they know somebody but I say we all wait bc they busy and they are too good for a busy bar. if you love a bar you wait bc we suppost a business doing it.

Only 3 stars for outside seating caters to smokers. But the seating for 2 by inside bar was ok but weird when a group was sat in the booth. Hard to have a private moment. But potatoes skins were great. Stiff Drinks a plus. Wings need attention, need to cook longer they were tough due to quick cooking. May return to try other menu items
