About Union Hotel
The Union Hotel is a gastropub on Waymouth Street in the Adelaide CBD, serving lunch and dinner on weekdays and dinner into the late night on Saturdays. Its function space sits one floor up in Bar Cuba. Bar Cuba is a cocktail bar with a large rum collection behind the counter. It takes cocktail-style events for up to 120 people, or private lunches and dinners for up to 60 seated. Hire works on a simple base. Monday to Thursday there is no room hire and an $850 minimum spend, Fridays carry $200 room hire with a $2,000 minimum, and Saturdays $300 room hire with a $2,500 minimum, each covering five hours. Cocktail food is ordered as a set number of items for each guest, from three items at $21 per person to ten at $65, with pizzas and grazing platters as extras. Seated groups choose two or three courses from a sample menu, and a Christmas set menu is offered later in the year. Drinks can be a Bronze, Silver or Gold package, a tab on consumption, or guests buying their own at the bar. Large rounds of cocktails such as mojitos or espresso martinis are pre-ordered in batches. The room plays its own funk, soul and lounge playlists, or you can plug in your own music. A wireless microphone and a large screen cover speeches and slideshows, and a DJ or band is welcome if they bring their own gear.
