    Celebrating the heritage of our great building, Union House goes Greek. We'll be stepping things up to deliver a flavour-focused 5-course feast, leaning on Head Chef Joe Grbac's time as Executive Chef at The Press Club. Matching wines, of course. While we're aiming to deliver something special, it's still Union House, just stepped up. It'll be fun, and it'll be memorable. It is limited tho. One sitting, 55 tickets, One Night Only.

    Great place for dinner before the footy. Loved the seperate dining area which was quiet enough to have a conversation but still had a great pub atmosphere. The food, cocktails and beers were all amazing. Wsghu cooked to perfection. 6pm booking, out by 6.50pm on Anzac Day, very impressed. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

    We visited the Union House on Wednesday night, steak night. The steaks were really delicious and great value for money. We were upstairs in the dining room and the ambience was excellent. It was very busy but not too noisy. Enjoyed the experience.

    We arrived at 8:30 on a quiet Sunday night. The staff ensured we had our meals and desserts before the kitchen shut. They really looked after us. Special thanks to Rosie. Food was very good especially the roast of the day. All that quality meat, perfectly cooked for $33 is outstanding value these days.
