I'm anxious for this to be open again. I had kind of just discovered it and then it was closed. Looking forward to it being open again!

I love the changes and look forward to their full kitchen as well.

It's a great little spot with tremendous potential.

I'm awaiting the full kitchen as well. Very close to my residence. Will be nice to have another option.

I walked by it on my walk at lunch yesterday since the wind wasn't howling.... Anyone know if they will be serving lunch or do they just plan to have evening hours?

Lunch and Dinner

Nice.... Always looking for more places I can walk to for lunch.... Worked down here since the early 90's and always wished there were good places walking distance and the last couple of years my wishes have finally started being granted.

I’m seriously, seriously not trolling. And if I could keep my mouth shut, I would. But if that’s a paid professional marketing or graphic designer who came up with that name, logo design, and copy. They should be fired. Wtf is a cocktail office? Why would I want to leave the office and go to another office???? And it’s not centered on the wall! It burns!!!

I was also wondering about the Office part of that sign.

Because it used to be offices.

I think it's completely fine. There is a stupid popular bar in L.A. called Father's Office.

Is the sign finished? Perhaps they're going to run the letters 'SoSA' vertically down the blank space?

Maybe it's targeting those that work from home and want to go to the office when they get off work?

Or maybe for those hen pecked husbands that need an excuse to go out after work. Now they can tell the wife they'll be staying late at the office.

Or, like the Library in Norman, when someone asks where you are you can answer "at the Office".

You must hate Pottery Barn.

You must hate Pottery Barn.

Haha... Yep.

Larry Pickering is going all out in there. It is going to be a Mad Men set. If you love R&J's, you will love this place. From a different era.

I liked the old signage just fine, not sure why that had to go.

Is the sign finished? Perhaps they're going to run the letters 'SoSA' vertically down the blank space? It’s a good triage. But I know the guy who painted it and he said that’s what they asked for. I just can’t get over that logo, commercial at symbol at the center and calling it an eatery & cocktail office. It’s not clever. At least pottery barn started as a barn of pottery.

They re-opened today with new owners, a full menu and a big remodel inside and out. Big improvements all the way around.

Now owned by the same group that operates Deep Deuce Grill.

That menu is infuriating. No prices on the cocktails or beer? No description on some of the food. Can I only assume they charge liquor tax on top of the ticket??

FYI that's a bit dramatic, but I went today for lunch and that is their temporary menu. They said that they will be finalizing the last few items and have the full menu released in a week or so. That may be why the prices aren't listed yet.

Are there many places who don’t charge the liquor tax on top of menu price these days? Maybe I’m not paying close attention but seems like they all do now.

It varies considerably. There are plenty of places that do include it in posted prices.

delicious..

Typically anyone who operates as abc3 is pay what is advertised. Abc2 leans towards passing the tax the more “restauranty” it is.

FYI I don’t think it’s dramatic. I’ve ran & opened restaurant & bar concepts for years before going back to school for an mba. I still own partnerships in the industry. And not advertising prices is just weird.

On second thought, I am being dramatic. I was hoping for an honest to goodness non smoking bar. I quit after my years in the service industry and I can’t step foot in smoking bars anymore. The pictures & menu portray it as a chic gastro “cocktail office.” I love the bars in paseo & uptown, but it would be nice to have non smoking options around town.

Edit: The flea is actually a good option in that neighborhood when the mood strikes.

I just talked with the owner Lee. He asked me to get the word out about their lunch. Evidently lunch is now offered.

My wife and I just returned from having dinner here tonight. They have just updated their menu to include ENTREES. Great craft cocktail program, great food, and great management. In fact, their General Manager used to work for Hal Smith's restaurants. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back, for dinner, and maybe even for lunch, too.

Union will be reopening Tuesday, May 15th under new ownership and a completely new menu.

The new owners are the people behind The Hamilton and Cafe 7.

Will be open at 11 AM every day. They have a really nice back patio and the interior is great as well. Hopefully they can find a following this time around.

Looks like both their FB and Insta pages are gone and I tried calling but their phone is disconnected.

Also, their Yelp page says 'closed'.
