The Union Hotel is a historic pub on Chapel Street in Windsor, established in 1856 and positioned on the corner of Chapel and James Street. It is close to public transport, with Windsor Station about 100 metres away and a tram stop directly outside. The venue describes itself as a local pub for live sports, generous pub food and cold beers, with major matches shown live and loud through its TAB digital venue setup.
Food centres on familiar pub fare alongside newer seasonal dishes. The kitchen serves classic favourites including parmas, steaks and burgers, with weekly specials adding variety through the week. The advertised roster includes rump steak on Monday, parma night on Tuesday, porterhouse steak on Wednesday, burgers and cocktail jugs on Thursday, and a Sunday roast. For drinks, the bar offers handcrafted cocktails, wine and a broad beer selection, including Carlton Draught unpasteurised tank beer, which the venue says is available exclusively on Chapel Street.
There is a choice of indoor dining and outdoor areas, with the latter suited to warmer weather and a fire available for a cosier winter visit. The renovated back bar provides a dedicated space for celebrations, while the wider venue can accommodate functions ranging from smaller gatherings to larger events. Pool and darts add something to do between matches or drinks, and the site also mentions live music and DJs. The venue is pet-friendly, which makes the outdoor spaces useful for visitors bringing their dogs.
The Union Hotel suits a casual lunch, a hearty dinner, after-work drinks or a night built around sport and pub activities. Weekly events include poker on Wednesday evenings, a social pool competition on Friday nights and Thursday trivia. Groups of up to 10 can book online, while larger bookings are handled by phone. With its long local history, central Windsor position and mix of food, sport, games and function spaces, it is set up for both an easy neighbourhood visit and a more organised group occasion.
