Who We Are

It all began with a simple question - what would a modern pub look like today if it were designed around the idea of inclusivity? We designed Makers Union with you in mind. It's your place to watch the game and enjoy a beer at the bar or catch up on work with a coffee in the lounge. It's your place to meet up with your work crew during the week or brunch with your BFFs on the weekend. It's a place where you can roll solo on our outdoor patio or roll deep with your family and friends in our dining room.
