One of those kinds of cabarets that has a grand piano on stage but they won't let me play it. Still, there's some good late night jazz, rock, and soul for the night owls. And decent beer prices, although limited selection, and chicken gumbo helps you get straight to drive home.
I had a great experience at The Union Cabaret and Grill. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and relaxing. They have an assorted menu with a wide variety of choice for some that are health conscious or others that just enjoy the dynamics of good eating. The waitress was poised, pleasent, patient, and polite with my friend's finicky eating. I felt that she handled a challenging situation extremely well, so I tipped her generously for her patients and good character. I did have an opportunity to listen to the jazz band because I visited the restaurant early afternoon; however, if the music is anything like the service that we received, that to, would be a rewarding experience.

SERVICE: Was perfect. The young woman who took our order was very attentive and seemed like she genuinely wanted to be there. Her smile was contagious and I'm glad she served us!
FOOD - DINNER: SO YUMMY!! I got the ribs with a side of red skin potatoes and Mac and cheese. First of all, the meat on the ribs SLID right off on all but two of the bones. I barely had to even work for my meat. I was actually happy to have to chew off the meat on that last two bones as half the fun of eating ribs is eating like a caveman, right? The potatoes came whole and were crispy on the outside and I wanted to die because it was so good. They have a basket of BBQ sauce you get to choose from, too, which I loved because I LOVE BBQ!
FOOD - DESSERT: I got the lemon curd cheesecake and it was super delicious. I loved the mix of tart and rich sweetness.
DRINKS: I had an alcoholic drinks, a mule basically. It wasn't a heavy pour (which I hate).
MUSIC: It stated the music would start at 7pm I believe but it didn't start until well after 8pm. But, it was a nice rockabilly duet and I loved it. I enjoyed having the live music with my food and company.
OVERALL: Will definitely be going back. Good food, service, and atmosphere.
I went on a Wednesday night and they had a great jazz performance! Good mac and cheese and beer. I got the mushroom and onion mac and cheese as a side and I loved it! Their beef brisket and side of salad were mediocre though. The brisket wasn't really served like a brisket (sliced meat), it was rather a pulled brisket.
Good service, nice atmosphere. Fantastic prices as a rewards card holder all eat in food is 30% off on Monday's! Lobster Mac n Cheese with side salad hit the spot!
Sarah was our server and she was great! She recommended drinks that we might like and answered all of our questions cheerfully and politely.
I had the Road Trip which was BBQ ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Everything delicious and most. I was honestly a bit sceptical of how their BBQ would be but the meat was high quality and well smoked.
The atmosphere was also great! Live jazz, a whiskey, and smoked meat. That's a trifecta that not many restaurants in Kalamazoo can boast. I'm a big fan of The Union and can't wait to go back!
I had such a great experience here. First time I went it was live music and the waiter was very sweet. I didn't like the cajun chicken pasta and he took it back with no problem. The X Rated Lady martini is amazing. The last 2 times I went, my waiter Tyler was so sweet and helpful. I have no complaints. Also my favorite thing is the lobster fondue!! ITS AMAZING!! Would recommend 100%
Food was amazing, we went during lunch for
Drinks and would love to go back for live music. The atmosphere was great and could have spent a few hours just sipping on drinks and apps.
Good food and service, but the music was a little too loud to be able to order much
Great for live music and friend gatherings. Drinks are fair, food is above average in taste and quality. Prices are comparable to other places in the Millennium Group.
The food was delicious. The live music was fun. Open setting inside made the place feel big and open.
So the Lobster Fondue is amazing and the bread they give you is perfect. It's nice and warm and fresh. On the other hand their mushrooms fries are terrible. Cutting the mushrooms makes them to thin so they dry out when you cook them. You end up with little breaded rocks. I ordered the chicken salad and that was pretty average. It had good flavor with but it needed more mayo, it was a little dry. The mac and cheese was also just alright. For something that gets a whole page of options the mac itself should have more flavor. The service was very good though. The waitress was attentive without being hovery. I wish we could have stayed for the live music but unfortunately had to leave before they started. Overall a good place to sit and have drinks over appetizers (minus the mushroom fries) but not somewhere to go for dinner.
