We've been so excited for the Hub Nation to open this place. My husband and I are always working and on call, so we don't go west of Valvista (ya maybe we're getting older too!) Needless to say we were thrilled to hear that our fave bar was opening something a little more upscale for date night...which is usually in the middle of the week, because again we're busy and old. Drink menu was on point! The Union 212 was their version of an old fashioned and that went down smoothly. I was impressed by all the Arizona liquor and beer (who the hell knew that arizona has its own horseradish vodka). Can't wait to make my way down the list!
It was nice to see some unique and finer food options on the menu. Everything looked intriguing! We love a good board and their Union board did not disappoint with fine meats, cheeses, and lovely truffles eggs. The fried chicken was amazing but what set it over the top was the smoked agave syrup on the side. I literally could drink it! The manager Dustin (he's awesome!!) said they make all their own sauces so we definitely were impressed.
The East Valley definitely needed The Union Grill and Tap to open for those of us that don't want to travel far for finer food and a good time. We had a great time and can't wait to go back!
