Editorial Review for Union Park – by Tara Hall

In Short
Hipsters on the prowl take to this bi-level bar for its airiness and urban appeal. The first floor, anchored by a broad circular bar, houses a well-lit pool table, small covered patio and intimate seating. On nice evenings, most patrons flock to the rooftop bar, with its Zen-like luscious foliage, bamboo partitions and pillow-strewn benches. The drink menu includes the usual fare, as well as six variations of mojitos and more unusual cocktails like the Godiva-laced S'mores martini.

I've been to this bar many times and it's never failed to provide an excellent time. They have fun music, and I've only recently discovered the "Boom Boom Room" in the back for great dancing. It's crowded, but full of good-looking people (albeit some are the yuppie-type). As far as the people who have had problems with their credit cards here, I personally never use a credit card at any bar. I only use cash for several reasons: A) I don't trust myself with one when I've been drinking (I tip too much or forget my card at the bar), B) I don't trust others with my card (especially when they know I've been drinking--easier to take advantage), and C)Having a set budget keeps me from drinking too much.

Pros: great music, attractive people, great dancing

Cons: yuppies

I went to Union Park last week and opened a tab. When I went to close out my tab, they could not find it. After sending me up to one of their upstairs bars, they still could not locate the tab. They responded with a shrug and "I don't know what happened to your card." Of course I was angry, so I kept pressing - then they came back and said that my tab had already been closed out by someone else - implying that they had given my card to the wrong person. I checked my bank account later that night and sure enough, there was the charge. Canceled my card and will never return to this sh*thole again.

Pros: none.

Cons: terrible customer service, terrible service period
