Description and history

edit

Union Seattle is located on East Union Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues. The LGBT-owned[3] bar was opened by Nathan Benedict, Mark Engelmann, and Steve Nyman in 2018, in a space formerly occupied by Zoe at the intersection of 14th and Union.[4][5][6]

Union's menu has included pizzas, burgers, salads, and sandwiches, as well as beer, spirits, and wine.[4]

The building housing Union caught fire in 2019 and relocated in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reopened on March 12, 2021.[7]
