BingJuly 6, 2012Outdoor bar space that has a fire pit that they light in the winter (reflection pond in the summer).
Salih Seckin SevincNovember 29, 2017Had a very crazy night. Listened a rock band, drank a lot of beer. Enjoyed till morning.- The DJ spins tracks on some proper vinyls here. This place is lit in the summer and on weekends.
Noah WeissJune 18, 2011Outdoor summer concerts free every Saturday. Starts at 4pm. Tacos from El Diablo. See the lineup at http://unionpool.blogspot.com/.
Monti BrayJune 15, 2014Head to the back for some taco truck fun, but make sure you have cash! Fear not, there's an ATM by the outside bar.
Pennylane YilmazNovember 17, 2011Honestly one of my fav bars ever, has everything you want! People watching, tacos, disco, and cheap good drinks
CompassJuly 24, 2013Listen to the latest and greatest indie soundtrack or live music as you check out backyard views of the BQE at Union Pool.
Nitzan BDecember 11, 2017The place is cute but when it’s full it’s hard to hear anything or have a decent conversation
That taco truck is probably W'Burg's best kept secret! Free dirty gospel concert on Mondays!!!
- EdJune 16, 2015Local hipster bar, cool backyard, obnoxious bartender at the front bar. Now, charging me $3 for a club soda (tap water+ Co2) while ordering "real" drinks?!Congratulations you lost my business.👎🏻
Chez StockMay 16, 2015your standard hipster bar made epically better by having an in house taco truck.
If you go late on a weekend it's a sweaty mess. During the week it isn't so bad though. And the taco truck is totally decent.
danielle mApril 27, 2011get a beer, go to the taco truck, and enjoy the view of fine looking gents roaming around the back HUGE patio.
Nadia KazmiApril 7, 2013Total meat market but can have great bands in the back if the vocals aren't completely muffled
It turns into a nasty brawl of sweat and face-sucking after 2 am, but it's all part of Union Pool's charm.
NancerellaDecember 2, 2011Love sitting by the outside fire pit, but will smell like burnt wood!!! gotta love the crowd though... Never a dull moment...
Come here if you want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 500 people who are all convinced they're better than you.
This place is so awesome. Catch a band in the basement or sit in the library themed bar upstairs.
Go here on weekends if you like long bathroom lines and crowded places where you a decent chance of seeing a sweaty stranger naked.
Ladies, watch your drinks. Union Pool has (rightfully earned) a reputation as a hook-up bar. That means creepy dudes during peak hours. Mess with them. It's fun.
Too crowded on the weekends but if the weather is nice the backyard works for all occasions.
J ScottDecember 4, 2012There's a crew here made of cheekbones and an attempt at coolness. Be them or be the opposite of them
- Brooke FlowersMarch 12, 2016$5 canned beer is pretty good but when it's crowded the bar tenders are rude. Won't go back for Friday night drinks.
This former pool supply has an outdoor patio, a taco truck and a photobooth but alas, no swimming- J ScottDecember 4, 2012There's a crew here made of cheekbones, leather and an attempt at coolness. Be them or be the opposite of te
