A great local venue with a wide range of cocktails and more importantly whiskies. Good range of whisky flights to try. Staff are super friendly and create a cosy atmosphere. Range of sharing plates and pizzas which are a perfect compliment to a fine dram!

This was a really good first time experience at Union House. My mum has a dietary requirements for her health and the hotel was very accommodating and she was so happy to sit down to a full meal where she can't always have much off any menu (no salt). The staff were professional, warm, hospitable and friendly. The only point was we had never been to the venue and didn't realise how busy the rooftop was. The staff offered us to move inside though so they did all the right things! We will know for next time.
