Union Kitchen & Tap Pacific Beach

If you like soft scrambled eggs, this is the place. My eggs came out perfect. Service was great, very attentive with the bottomless mimosas. Sure the potatoes could use some work. Live music was fire for Saturday brunch. I will come back.

Came here because the place we really wanted to go was packed and we were hangry.Place was basically empty.Waitress came by and I asked if they had any Mexican lagers on tap. Only had Pacifico, I was looking for a local brewery. Ended up with an 805. Next ordered the Poke nachos, they were okay. Nothing too hard there. For the main I got the pan roasted half chicken with mashed potatoes and carrots. The presentation was good but it took about 20 minutes. I believe our waitress went in break because we didn't see her for about 20 minutes. In the meantime I had ordered a margarita. I could see it sitting on the counter. At least 2 other waiters saw it sitting there and nobody brought it to me.I was just about to walk over and get it myself when alas one of the waitresses decided to bring it. Mind you the place is pretty dead. I understand when it's busy and the staff is overwhelmed, but come on now. Has anyone heard of teamwork? Back to my main that finally came and was brought out by another waiter. Chicken was of poor quality and was too salty. Carrots and mashed potatoes were good. Our waitress finally came by to ask how things were, yeah they were salty. I didn't say anything because at this point just wanted the check.One star for the poke nachos.Too many places around this area to be slacking on service. Won't be back.

Shitty, overpriced crap with poor service. Go to Fig Tree Cafe or Konos for brunch, and one of the many better bars and restaurants nearby for lunch or dinner.Went here for a quick, casual brunch and will not be returning. It was $80 (pre tip) for two brunch entrees (Chilaquiles and a burger) and two Bloody Mary's.The burger was terrible - clearly frozen patty, hard overcooked bun and toppings were basic grocery store quality. Ordered it medium rare and it was medium well. Wouldn't have minded - but it was $21 which is downright offensive given it was probably the worst burger I've had in PB.Bloody Mary's were also very mid and small. $15 and they upcharged us $2 for making them spicy, even though the waiter asked as if it was just a regular option. Again, I don't really mind that price but the quality sucked and the waiter was not upfront. Generally an overpriced, skeazy tourist trap with crap food and aggressive, corporate feeling service. Honestly the chef and manager should be ashamed of themselves. Hope this place doesn't last

Union Kitchen & Tap has opened a third branch by replacing a previous establishment with Kitchen & Tap in its name. It's a terrific location being less than two blocks away from the Crystal Pier and PB oceanfront. I don't believe they have any dedicated on-site parking which is probably the biggest drawback. All of the curbside spaces along this block of Garnet Ave are now metered after the city installed them late last year.I visited recently during a weekend brunch hour and unsurprisingly, it was quiet. The venue is a good spot for football game watches. Since this is the offseason, the crowds for those events are in hibernation until late summer. The new ownership has spruced up the interior with more plants. I didn't notice this before, but there is a back lounge area with a dedicated bar that was semi-private.On the brunch menu, the category choices were breakfast, share plates, salads, favorites, flatbreads, and sides. Noticeably absent were burritos and tacos which are staples of SD brunches. I picked the Union Gumbo from the list of favorites. Andouille sausage, smoked chicken, okra, and scallions were added to a very dark roux that had a scoop of jasmine rice in the middle. The broth was quite spicy to the point I wish there was more rice included to balance the dish. The $23 price tag was on the expensive side too. I gave a rating between three and four stars for my meal at Union Kitchen & Tap.

I liked it a lot more when it was backyard. Manager went and talked to everyone except me- maybe because I am younger but it felt rude and I was very polite and tipped well. There is clearly a reason why this place is empty. Don't discriminate against your younger customers who are the ones that go out in Pacific beach!

The food is incredible and the service is amazing!!! Hector, Josh, and Andres took amazing care of us!!! I had the chilaquiles and bottomless mimosas, and my best friend had the crab cake Benedict! All of it was amazing!!! Great vibes :) Highly recommend!

The Pacfic Beach location is outstanding. Food is terrific. Servers are friendly. and courteous. The decor is new and exciting. Fresh air, but cooled for the summer. It is going to be around for a long time. Come visit. I loved it.

Had a great burger here and all the other dishes looked really good. Service was quick and the waitress was nice. About a block away from the beach and there is an ice cream place across the street. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Wife and I had our reception here and it was amazing. Staff were great, food was great and atmosphere was perfect. They really made it an amazing night. Thank you to all that were involved.
