Union Transfer

Last night I saw Otoboke Beaver with DBGC at Union Transfer. It's been years since I saw a concert here. The venue did not disappoint and I had a great time just like in the past.

Great acoustics, friendly and hard working staff - from security to the bar, and an overall good, fun vibe. The only difference from when I last was here is there's a parking fee in the back, but it was reasonable rate and honestly a good deal.

Union Transfer is still an awesome place to see a show!!

Recommended for staff alone!!!

I attended a sold out show. So crowded! Sound system was great, merch and concessions were well arranged. I was most impressed with staff. There are mosh pits, people who had too many drinks and other uh, "factors" in the crowd. The staff remained polite and professional. They were proactive. Everyone was assured of a safe and enjoyable experience. And, if you happened to be someone who had too many, they were there for you too (more to that story for another day, and it wasn't me).

Nice venue for music. There is an upstairs balcony with a nice view of the stage. There is a large bar in the back with some local beer and reasonably priced drinks. They accept both cash and card but cash is easier.

There is a cost check that was $3 per item when we were there that was cash only. There is an ATM if you need it.

I'd give it nothing if I can. Customer service is a joke, emailed them 4 times over the course of two months about a credit from COVID cancellation and no one responds. At all. Nothing. I even reached out on Instagram and said the email is the best way to receive an answer. Do they talk to each other? Nope. I received better service at a McDonald's compared to this venue.

We took our 4.5 year old to his first concert at Union Transfer last night and we just wanted to say that the staff was fantastic and super accommodating to help make his first experience a great one.

Some of the kids on security will play toughguy over literally nothing, and it made me feel unsafe and grossed out.
I go to a lot of shows at a lot of local venues, and this is the first time I've experienced such poor behavior from staff. I was not denied entry for any reason, just treated with aggression. This stuff is dangerous, and it's sad to see happen at Union Transfer.

I really enjoyed this venue. Check in was easy but thorough. You walk in to a lobby with a very cool counter situation where they were selling merch. I initially went into the main doors that bring you to the main floor. It was crowded but not at all hard to move around and it seemed easy to see the stage, even being a short person like myself. I ended up heading back out to check out the bar that's off to the left when you enter. The bar wasn't crowded at all. I took my drink up to one of the balcony's where I ended up seeing the rest of the concert. Sound was good and the view from the balcony was good too. Good crowd and good concert. I used 2 different bathrooms while being there and they were not crowded and surprisingly clean, a very big perk.

Overall it's a very cool looking venue and seemed clean and organized. And it's not in as bad a part of the city as I was worried it might be. I'm not too familiar with Spring Garden, but it seems to be up and coming, with lots of cute looking restaurants scattered around. I was by myself so I was nervous what it might be like standing outside after the show waiting for an Uber, but it didn't feel unsafe at all. I definitely look forward to the next show I get to see here!

They've been packing in shows lately! But I've been to this venue about 5 times so far the last year and in previous years. It's been consistently a fun time, with good security, good crowds, great lights and ok sound. The balcony vs. floor vs. back bar area offer some varied arrangements for viewing, and the bar lines go quick. There are two areas for bathrooms, which allow you to stay close to your viewing area without too much travel distance during the show. Will be back! Get tickets at the box office for less than online, even sometimes on the day of the show if they haven't sold out yet :)

I did not have the food, but the ambience was excellent. The service was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The venue was really cool looking inside, with a second floor balcony.

Went to the tink common 4/15 drink prices were cheap.. drinks were strong which was a good thing
