Union Jack Pub

This place used to have great pizza, but it seems to have gone downhill. Still a nice pub, but the food could use some work.

Waited over 40 minutes to be sat at the table that was empty since we walked in. Our server Brett was rude, sarcastic and charged us for food not eaten. He messed up my drink order, of water with lemon, really? My husband and I ordered the special of the night, Prime Rib. I’m on a special diet and cannot have many items, I only asked for the prime rib no sides. It came with broccoli covered in cheese, which I cannot have. I took one bite of the prime rib and about spit it back on the plate. My husband and I agreed that it was the nastiest thing we had ever had. The seasoning was terrible and meat tasted off. I handed my plate to the server and told him so. He said, «o…Kay» and walked off. My daughter took two bites out of her wrap and said it wasn’t good and her fries were cold. So, my husband’s and daughter’s food sat untouched. Waiter only took my dinner off the bill. Considering this took almost two hours to finally receive our food, the poor service and sub par over priced food I will not be back. Our family doesn’t get to eat out much and it’s disappointing when a restaurant can’t be bothered to provide good food and customer service. It’s a damn shame

More than what I expected. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a few hours of friendly service. Lots of beer on tap and good options too not just crap on tap. Large menu so we started with appetizers which were fast and delivered hot. Breadsticks were great. Fish and chips were fantastic. The Cole slaw was some of the best our friends had ever had. Clean and very busy but it ran like a well oiled machine. We would definitely return and we will recommend this place to anyone. Love the decoration inside btw.

When we lived on the west side and couldn’t agree on a place to grab a quick bite or a beverage in the evening, Union Jack was often the compromise we agreed on. Located off 465 near the I-​74 interchange, it’s a pretty convenient spot.
The bar staff is always friendly and efficient and pours a perfectly acceptable drink. The menu, although limited, is always consistent and the food good.
Union Jack is in a pretty small building, so when it gets busy, it gets crowded very fast. Finding a place to sit can be a bit challenging at times.
They often have live music and the space just isn’t big enough as it gets extremely loud very fast.

Many places try to create an artificial «neighborhood pub» atmosphere, and few are successful. Union Jack Pub has the perfect neighborhood pub atmosphere, without even trying. If you come here at a time when there’s not a major race in the near future, you will find regulars seated at the bar. People walk in & the waitstaff/​bartender greet them by name. The walls are covered in dusty yet interesting memorabilia, and the lights are the perfect level of dim. It even has that old-​wood, beer, & food smell that makes you want to stay, have a few drinks, and enjoy casual conversation for hours. It’s what I wish we had within close proximity to our house. You can watch «the game» (whatever game is on-​going) on one of the numerous screens, play some bar trivia, or get lost in conversation with companions. Its atmosphere is perfection. A little dark, a little dive’y, and a lot of fun.
But this isn’t just a place to drink. Union Jack also has some serious Pub Food game going on. Everything from Indiana-​style pork tenderloin sandwiches to the best deep dish style pizza in Indy, everyone can find something to eat at Union Jack’s. My favorite here is the Chicago style deep dish pizza with Italian sausage & mushrooms. Know that ordering a pizza is going to be a 40-​minute minimum wait (it even says so on the menu), if they are busy, it might be even longer. That wait is worth it though. That deep-​dish, crispy yet chewy crust is amazing, it doesn’t have too much sauce, and there is a ridiculously-​awesome volume of cheese on their pizza. If you have leftovers, (& you just might), that pizza warmed up in a skillet the next day is even better, and you wouldn’t think it was possible for it to get BETTER. Another note regarding the pizza, IF YOU DON’T WANT TO WAIT, call in your pizza order before you arrive. Then, it will arrive to your table shortly after you do…
Since the wait for pizza is so long, we always grab an appetizer. Our favorite are the breaded mushrooms. Their breading is well seasoned & delicious, and the mushrooms are huge. Served with a side of creamy horseradish sauce, they will hold you over until your pizza arrives.
Since we don’t live in the area anymore, we don’t get to frequent Union Jack as much as we used to, so our visit this past weekend was a welcome reunion.
So long until next time Jack… and there will always be a next time.

I came into town from Chicago for a conference. After checking out the Indy 500 Speedway I looked for a nice place to grab a meal. Unilocal lead me to Union Jack Pub. Great pub like atmosphere and service! Lots of Indy Speedway nostalgia throughout to create a cozy and friendly environment. The Hawaiian Burger with a slice of pineapple and bacon hit the spot. If you are on this side of Indy it is worth stopping in.

Great service, affordable beer selection, and good food. We started with the pizza bread they have and it was awesome. My girlfriend got a sub that was really good and I got the fish and chips. The fish was a little cool, but tasted great.

I’ve been a UJ’s fan for many many years. However what I was hoping was just a couple of bad nights has become a trend that tilts the scale of great pizza and beer to a just need to pass. SERVICE. It has gotten so bad that we only do carry out on pizza from now on. Last night was the last straw. Over an hour for 3 salads and a 12 inch (miss made) pizza. Server did not check drinks once. (beer sales anyone?) The inexcusable part was they were not that busy. To top it off was the comment «if your food was ready it would be on the table» just makes you laugh in disgust. It’s sadly just very broken.

Decent burgers, but the service is lacking. It was slow on our visit, but it still took a long time to be seated and receive our orders. The waitress wasn’t very good. This is not a place that would be my first (or even top ten) choice for an area restaurant in which to have a meal.

So just when you thought this place could not get any better it has. I am not sure if they got new kitchen staff or what but the food here lately is as good as it gets. I got the same exact thing as my last visit with the exception that we got a cheese bread which was really like a large cheese pizza with a side of marinara and it was good but way too filling. it could have been a meal actually. But i got my usual hand breaded Pork Tenderloin and it was more than double the size of what it was and when i asked the server she said they started making them a lot bigger. it is huge and for $ 9.49 that is just unbelievable. there are a lot of places in town that say they have the best pork tenderloin but i am telling you that Union Jack’s hands down has the best one. Again i am not sure if they got a new cook or what but the one that I got Saturday night was huge and lots of flavor and you could taste the garlic which i loved. Then as my side i of course got the white chicken chili, I just cannot tell you how good that stuff is and again it was even better than before. this time it had like a slice of pepper jack cheese over the top and a jalapeño and that just increased the flavor a lot. I thought before that everything was perfection but now it truly is. I hope whoever they had back there cooking Saturday night never leaves because he/​she did an awesome job on everything. Service was good as usual. We had a waitress who has waited on us many times over at Denny’s so it was nice to see she has moved up to a much better place to work/​eat. I just love this place! if it were not for the crappy hours (my opinion) i would eat here several times per week.

It’s hard to find places with a pub atmosphere like this one that lets people under the age of 21 in (I’m 20), but this place is perfect. It’s a large restaurant with dimmed lights, a bar, and a variety of booths AND tables. The breaded chicken sandwich is hands down the best I have ever had and I would recommend it to anyone. The food is extremely fresh. Our waitress, Julie, was very sweet and efficient and offered us a drink to go. The only negative is that the prices are definitely up there, $ 35 for my boyfriend and I, but very worth it.

What a wonderful find! Landed in Indy looking for a place to grab a bite and beer and stumbled across this gem.
Chicago style pizza. Oozing with gooey cheese and perfectly seasoned sauce. Service was quick and friendly. Worth a try. This is no shirt and tie but nice place to experience a little mid west.

It’s a cool atmosphere with a good variety of beers. The pizza is also pretty good, but definitely not «Chicago style» at all. It’s basically a really thick crust with a normal amount of sauce, toppings, etc. on it. The service, from what I’ve experienced, is a bit hit and miss. The last time we were here we went to settle checks and the waitress asked who had what, so we told her and then she came back with new drinks, somehow confusing «had ordered» with «are now ordering more of.» It wasn’t a big deal, as we just drank the beers and left a little later than originally planned, but also a bit annoying. It’s a good place for a drink, but not my favorite in the city.

The pizza is t bad, but the service at this location leaves something to be desired. If you want the warmest beer in town this place is a must. Each time we’ve been here we’ve left wondering why we came.

We love union jacks, but this was our first visit to this location. We were award right away at 6pm on a Saturday night. Sadly, we sat for 10 minutes and the waitress never came over to us. They were not busy and she visited the table next to us about 3 times. We ended up walking out never having been acknowledged. What a terrible experience!

Relaxed atmosphere and great Chicago style pizza. Planning to go once a month for date night. I’ve only eaten the pizza so I can’t say much for the rest of the menu but they are always busy so the rest of the menu must be just as good!

This place a just like typical pub. They do have some interesting décor. The outdoor patio is pretty nice but there isn’t much of a view. There is not foot traffic and I like to people watch when sitting at the patio. The inside is ok. Mediocre furniture. It felt sticky and stuffy. Maybe it’s because of the humid weather lately. I went in for lunch and the food took longer to come out than I had anticipated considering it wasn’t busy at all. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful. I got the fish sandwich and it was just ok. Nothing special. Honestly, I would only come back here to grab a drink, not to eat.

This is still a fun place to hang out with 24 top hops on tap. Back in the day, during the month of May, you could see Foyt’s, Rutherford’s, Mears, and just about any Indy car driver rubbing elbows with the locals. Union Jacks is known for several items and they are still big draws. Their famous tenderloin, Chicago-​style pizza, and steaks are still on the menu and are crowd favorites.
If you look around, you may spy my name on the wall on their old Passport Club.
This has adapted with the times and has become more family friendly and is no longer smoky around the bar. I grew up and got my ears wet in this bar/​restaurant. You will not be disappointed in the pizza and other fresh menu items. It is lively and spirited, but not noisy by any means. Family friendly.

Let me update if your not aware UJ’s is FAMILY friendly now for those of you requesting. Union Jacks is a wonderful pub with good food, dark English Pub atmosphere with a racing décor worthy of the drivers, teams and fans. Known for fish and chips, tenderloins, burritos, white bean chili and if you love deep dish pizza with quality toppings give UJ’s a try. Warm, friendly, attentive servers with great draft beer selection and several craft beers. If you’re in a hurry call ahead and order your deep dish pie ready a few minutes after you arrive. Great for lunch hours.
DJ and karaōke on weekends around 9:00 in front of the fireplace if you want to be close or dining in front family room section if not. Juke box is loaded with good tunes. Into sports, certainly grab a bar stool or table and enjoy the game with the locals or bring a few friends. I continue to request a few healthier menu options other than salads and told their working on it. Honesty, not many care who come here and obviously isn’t keeping me from dining here. Many great salad options if I MUST eat healthy. Consistently good food, servers, location, outdoor patio, wonderful stocked U-​shaped bar and all around warm, cozy English bar atmosphere. IF you happen upon something not to your liking, don’t hesitate to politely let your server know. They are phenomenal correcting anything you’re unhappy with if at all possible. Just a minute from 465 and Crawfordsville Road exit off High School and 25^th Street next door to Hardees.

French Onion Soup was so salty is was almost unpalatable. I was also disappointed with the time it took to receive the soup. It took almost an hour for «quick» lunch.
