Proudly serving the LGBTQ and Allied Community, Union features a full bar, specially cocktails, delicious menu, fire-side lounge, year round outdoor patio, music videos, and Happy Hour Mon - Fri 4PM - 6PM. With a relaxed atmosphere, cocktails, delicious bites, music videos, a fireplace lounge and outdoor patio, Union Seattle is a great spot to meet-up, relax, unwind and enjoy your favourite adult beverages.
From happy hour to our late night groove, Union has something for everyone.
The bar was opened by Nathan Benedict, Mark Engelmann, and Steve Nyman in 2018, in a space formerly occupied by Zoe at the intersection of 14th and Union.[3][4][5] Seattle and New York City night life veteran Gregory Scheaffer replaced Mark Englemann as the third owner shorty after Union opened.
Union's menu has included pizzas, burgers, salads, and sandwiches, as well as beer, spirits, and wine.[3]
The building housing Union caught fire in 2019. Union relocated in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reopened on March 12, 2021.[6]
