The Maiden Entry

If you are reading this, you probably know we have a T-Shirt Design contest running until mid-May. You design a T-shirt, if you win, it becomes our signature shirt. For more details click here. Well, today we got our first entry. Thats right, even if you don't win, your creation might see the light of day anyway. So make it good. This is a good start, but we are expecting each entry to be above and beyond the last. Show us your best. Here it is... and appropriately, its a tribute to Lance "Go Eff Yourself" Cook.

P.S. If you want to win this thing, take down the $100, and become a part of history, lets pay attention to presentation. The more professional, the more impressive- This thing isn't just going to come down to ideas, execution counts. You guys can do this.




It's Bourbon Day


You could say its a pretty good Monday at UP. Nicest day of the year? Check. New Drink Menu? Check. 
New Drink Specials? Check. Now, we have retired $1.50 PBR Cans for the time being. This may disgruntle some of you, but fear not. For a mere $1.50 more you can enjoy a cool Bud Light, and for a mere $2.50 more a smooth Shock Top. But heres the real deal. 

Its Bourbon Day at UP. From now on, Monday nights will feature $6.00 Small Batch Bourbons. W.L. Weller, Elmer T. Lee, Elijah Craig, Fighting Cock, and Buffalo Trace, - all $6.00. All have different noses, palates, and finishes, and all are worth trying. Survey the selection, watch the fine gentlemen above teach you how to appreciate a good bourbon, then come in and try one for yourself.

Seriously. Its gorgeous outside.

2011 Summer Drink Preview

We roll out our new drink menu tomorrow! Get yourself acquainted:


The Ricky Vaughn. Our take on a creamsicle, featuring whipped cream vodka and candied orange juice. Like it's namesake, this drink is straightforward with an undeniable edge. Be a Wild Thing, and give it a try.

 



The Loaded Corona. Instructions are simple: Drink your corona down to it's shoulders. Fill the neck back up with a shot of Bacardi Limon. Enjoy. 


 
The Peach Bliss. Peach Rum blended with tropical fruits over ice. Simple? Yes. Blissful? Absolutely. It may only be April now, but when the Dog Days of summer come, you'll be begging for more bliss. Pure refreshment. 



 
The Blueberry Lemonade. Check out our bloobs. Blueberry-Acai vodka, fresh blueberries, and lemon juice in harmony = perfect summer cocktail. Unless you hate things that taste good, you'll love this. 



The Al Fresca. Union Pub's answer to the Mojito. With a blend of fresh lime juice, cilantro, mint, and Effen Cucumber Vodka, we are confident you won't be looking back. Elegance and Refreshment brought to life. 



The Big Apple. One of our two summer drinks featuring limited release Absolut Vodka. This gem includes Absolut Brooklyn, Whipped Cream Vodka (your favorite), Perrier, and Cranberry. Try it, you'll love it. 



The Boston Tea Party. For those of you who prefer Boston to New York. This one's got Absolut Boston Vodka with orange and ginger flavors. A party in your mouth, if you will.
