Overview
Union House has been part of Richmond’s pub landscape since the late 1800s, but its latest incarnation embraces a mix of historic charm and modern pub culture. The building’s Victorian-era façade hints at its heritage, while inside you’ll find a versatile, updated fit-out that caters to both casual drinkers and weekend socialisers.
The ground floor bar is the heart of the venue — lively, approachable, and stocked with a rotating list of craft and classic beers, approachable wines, and a tight but thoughtful cocktail list. Upstairs, the rooftop bar is a major drawcard, with leafy plants, open-air seating, and views over the neighbourhood — a perfect spot for long summer sessions.
Union House strikes a balance between being a reliable local and a destination venue. Regular events like trivia nights and sports screenings keep midweek energy high, while weekends bring a more festive crowd. It’s the kind of pub that works equally well for a quiet pint, a birthday gathering, or a pre-game session before heading to the MCG.
