Why it's worth checking out
Union House is a lively pub on Swan Street in Richmond, one of inner Melbourne's best-known eating-and-drinking strips. With nearly 750 reviews behind its 4.4 rating, it has built a steady following as a dependable local in a buzzing part of town.
The appeal is a relaxed, sociable pub with genuine character — a great spot for a beer, a feed and a bit of atmosphere without any fuss. Swan Street's dense mix of pubs, bars and eateries, plus its proximity to the MCG precinct, makes it an easy stop in a wider day or night out.
Pub menus, events and trading hours shift with the seasons and the sporting calendar. If you're coming for a particular game, a function or the kitchen, it's worth checking current details directly before you arrive.
