Editorial Review for Union Street Restaurant – by Eric Grossman
In Short
Union St. sports a healthy beer roster (20 taps, including many regional specials) and some adventurous stabs at affordable pub grub. Sandwiches and appetizers are the main fare, and there are special beer dinners. The upstairs attic hosts live music on the weekends, and TVs are situated in all corners. When the weather perks up, patrons fill a sunny, fenced-in patio.

The food is far too overpriced for the quality and service. My first visit to the "new" Union street was a shock- I was excited to see what they had done with the place, but disappointed when I ordered a raspberry margarita and the server brought me a plain one...then did not believe me when I informed him that it was the wrong type (hint- it was not pink!). Anyway, our meal was okay, but I would have expected better for a $10 burger. The drinks have all gone up in price but have not improved in quality. Until there are some changes in the menu, I will save Union Street for Wednesday night trivia and avoid it for dinner.

Last weekend, I decided to try something new, together with a friend of mine went to Union Street and the Attic in Newton for a drink and appetizers. There were not too many people, but we decide to sit at the bar. First think that welcomes you inside is a horrible stench, I am not sure how often that bar is cleaned, but I know less than it should be….defiantly deserves health inspector visit. We waited for God knows how long before the bartender finished his conversation with the blondie that worked with him. My drink did not come as the way I ordered, so for a next drink I took a glass of wine and was told by the blondie that it was a last call, (12:40 AM) so I should hurry up. Five minutes after I got the drink (12:45 AM), the first bartender came and told us we need to give back the drinks because they were closing. I looked surprised, the bartender just told me to JUG IT UP. (a glass of wine) It was 15 min before their closing time. We were forced to leave the drinks that we paid for and were kicked out of the restaurant like nobody. What a shame.
Cons: bad smell and even worse service
