I was born and raised in Gilroy and have seen many changes. One of my favorite changes has to be the bartender's Union. This place used to be dark and dingy now it has been completely redone it is bright there are darts and a pool table. I really like this place I feel safe it's well lit and I always find somebody I know here!

Love how you transformed the place. Bartendress is sweet. And she can make a good margarita on the rocks. I got an orange BU cap.

Good selection of beer, knowledgeable & friendly bartends. A good place to go with a group of friends and shoot some pool & have a couple of drinks.

Reminds me of dive bars back east except clean. Great staff and beer selection as well.

Great bar. Good prices, good staff, super chill. It's comfortable and gives that neighborhood/locals bar vibe, without being a dirty cash-only dive bar or grungy whiskey pit. If you're in town, you should totally go, and buy a double of whatever you're drinking.

Great location, good beer selection. Silly rule about beers over 8% being served in small glasses, instead of a regular pint like the rest of the world, and it's all metal and concrete, so it gets extremely loud when there are a few people in there. All in all, though, pretty fun.

Nice clean bar. Always some kind of activity going on there. Tuesday is fun they have pool Tourneys. Nice crowd. A few of the regulars of the female variety lol don't like new women coming in and the young one is always yelling about someone or something.

I was there Friday night. Got there around 11pm. Not too crowded. I liked that. Ages varied. Men outnumbered women 2 to 1. Still though everyone was friendly. I had a female approach me and introduce herself to me. Music wasn't too loud. Mostly wrap. Some older rock and groove too. They serve a wide variety of beer. Domestic too. I only had one. I didn't like it. They have catchy names but the bartenders use the numbers. I had #9. To me it tasted like flavored Alkaseltzer. I like beer to taste hoppy, full flavor. Everyone was having fun. Cutting loose. In a safe way. I recommend this place.

This place is spotles, even the restrooms. They have 2 nice pool tables. Looks like it's been recently remodeled. I only gone on Mondays. Bartender is quick and friendly

Great atmosphere. It's probably just a fluke but I'm the only person here and had to tell the bartender my drink order 3x and she still forgot. Also the worst vodka tonic I've ever had. Not hard to mess up but here we are. Very friendly though and great atmosphere

This is a regular spot (one of the only spots to go really) in Gilroy for locals especially. Bartender was honestly pretty brusque, vibe wasn't bad, but I got into a physical altercation with a guy and his family outside of the bar because they overserved him on his 21st birthday and he swung on me out of the blue, his family tried to back him up. Not saying it's completely their fault, just trying to give a fair rating with everything in mind. Honestly this bar and the club across from it are constantly in a state of turmoil and the later it gets the more dangerous it gets there. Be careful going out the back door there as well as the alleys in between and the parking lot behind. The bouncers are great and do their jobs very well, love those guys.

Honestly, I never got a drink here. I walked in and got creepy, unsettling stares - just overall bad vibes. As a woman, I felt I was unsafe. I decided to leave and try somewhere else. Seems like it’s not a good place to go have a casual drink with friends and family. I would be willing to try it again to see if it was just a weird one time situation.

If I could give a lower score I would , this place blows . It's funny it's called the bartenders union and the bartender sucks . A bartender that doesn't know how to bartend .literally.

Can’t believe this place is still in business they scammed me out of money 8 years ago. I was charged for another parties drinks as they claimed they were with us. I spoke to the business about this and refused to refund me. Very unethical and unprofessional

It’s not the place to be unless you like unprofessional, rude, violent, threatening staff and riffraff patrons.

Poor service and the bartender not trust worthy don't ever trust them with your credit card because it will play whoodini and disappear and your card will be used to make online purchases while ur there at the bar
