From the GLV archive: April 2018. The Union closed in October 2022. The radio segment and Milk of the Wolf cocktail recipe are preserved below. The restaurant’s offers and opening hours are historical.
The Union Dishes Up South Asian Flavours
We stopped in for the Handcrafted Spirits Show on TSN1410 to catch up with bartender Rob Hoover at The Union in East Vancouver and sampled a few of the drinks currently on the list. They’ve just launched a new food menu too, so we’re looking forward to returning for that, but in the meantime give our radio segment a listen for some of the happenings on Union Street.
Listen to the segment here and scroll down for the recipe.
