Union Public House - (Near Pensacola, FL)

1 /5 Charity Perkins: If you love very expensive but mediocre food, drink and service, this place is definitely for you. On glowing recommendation of several bartenders and waiters in the area, we decided to try it. We arrived and the front staff didnt say hello or greet us, they asked if we had a reservation. We did not. We were told we could sit outside in the heat and wait for 25-30 minutes on waitstaff or sit at the bar. We opted for the bar even though pretty evident the air conditioning was barely working inside. We order the pimento cheese pups. We were very excited to try. As a born and raised Southerner, I was excited to try. It was just fair to middling at best. It was sweet and didnt have any pimento cheese flavor to it. There was some commercial processed cheese shreds underneath that added nothing to the dish. It was so uninspired that we chose not to order anything else. Its clear that this is a quantity of quality restaurant. The staff arent friendly, the food is meh and the drinks are uninteresting. We will not be back.

4 /5 Linda Tran: Mariah was very patient and attentive when serving our big group of 11. The private room and ambience was a vibe. The food was worth the price cause the serving was huge. Thanks UPH for making my birthday special!

5 /5 David Ricker: This place was fantastic. From the greeting to seating to the meal, service was great. The meal was top notch as well. Drinks were spot on and creative with names and recipes. Scotch egg, grouper and shrimp corn dog, and duck hearts on toast were great starters. My wife had steak while I had the crispy pork shank. Desert was Créme Brulee. Great meal and great value from start to finish. This place is part of the reason Pensacolas food scene is bumping!

5 /5 Crystal M: First time going here and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great, our service was great. Which was actually the bartender and his name was Joe and he made us a delicious homemade lemonade. The food was just the best. Well worth the amount. I would definitely recommend and will be back.

5 /5 A K: Union Public House delivers an unforgettable dining experience that blends warm hospitality, creative cocktails, and outstanding food. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine friendliness and seated quickly. The evening started with a round of drinks, and I was impressed right away. I got the watermelon margarita and it was fantastic. The bar here is clearly well thought out. Each cocktail was balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It set the tone for the rest of the night and raised my expectations for the food to follow. For an appetizer, I ordered the pimento cheese pups, and they were nothing short of incredible. Perfectly fried with a crisp golden exterior. It’s the kind of starter you immediately want to order again because one plate never feels like enough. The star of the experience however, was the crispy pork shank. It was the best I’ve ever had. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, bursting with rich flavor, and paired with sides that complemented it perfectly. Union Public House is the kind of restaurant you’ll want to return to again and again. Between the exceptional service, inventive drinks, and truly outstanding food, it’s easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended!
