Who We Are :

It all began with a simple question what would a modern pub look like today if it were designed around the idea of inclusivity?

We started with our products : Craveable food crafted with local ingredients whenever possible. Destination drinks that showcase our best local makers (breweries, distilleries, roasters + wineries).

A fun and approachable menu with new twists on familiar classics alongside travel-inspired dishes that represent our local area’s diversity.

We designed Makers Union with you in mind. It’s your place to watch the game and enjoy a beer at the bar or catch up on work with a coffee in the lounge.

It’s your place to meet up with your work crew during the week or brunch with your BFFs on the weekend. It’s a place where you can roll solo on our outdoor patio or roll deep with your family and friends in our dining room.
