Looking for a new way to celebrate?

Sunday October 12th

Runs until Sunday, May 3rd, 2026

Tired of the Same Old Party Plans? Let’s shake things up—literally. Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, a corporate outing, or just an excuse to gather your favorite people, Union Tavern has unforgettable experiences waiting for you.

Here’s what your next celebration could look like: Private Cocktail Classes – Learn, shake, and sip your way through one of our themed classes like Tequila Sunset, Espresso Me, or Around the World in 80 Proofs.

 Personalized Wine Pairings – A curated tasting for up to 15 guests with Kendall-Jackson’s Donna Schlosser-Long. You choose the vibe, we bring the wine.

Bourbon & Whiskey Tastings in The Bradstreet – Explore rare pours and smooth finishes in our intimate speakeasy with a tasting experience that’s as bold as it is refined.

Candle-Making & Craft Classes – From spooky season scents to beachy vibes, leave with something beautiful (and handmade). 

 Paranormal Investigations  – Yes, the building is haunted. Yes, the spirits are real—both kinds.

 Psychic Gallery Readings – Gather your group for a night of intuition, connection, and a little cosmic clarity.

History Happy Hours – Drink in the past with stories from Sea Breeze’s colorful (and sometimes ghostly) past.

 Creative Workshops – Manifestation art, seasonal crafts, and more for a therapeutic twist on your night out.

At Union Tavern, we believe in celebrating everyone. Whether you're toasting a milestone or planning a team-building event, we’re proud to offer inclusive, customized experiences in one of Rochester’s most unique historic spaces—including our speakeasy, The Bradstreet.

Let’s plan your next event! DM us or email events@uniontavern.com to get started.

Spooky Thrift Shop Up-Cycle Paint Night

Wednesday October 22nd

Dreamy Chick Productions is bringing you a brand-new twist on paint night! Instead of a blank canvas, you’ll be working with one-of-a-kind thrift store paintings that are ready for a spooky makeover. Using acrylic paints, you’ll add ghosts, goblins, bats, and other eerie touches to transform your thrift shop treasure into a Halloween masterpiece. What to Expect: A unique thrifted painting (sizes vary) – first come, first serve, so arrive early for the best pick! All paint supplies provided. Freehand painting with light instruction to guide you along. Custom stencils cut on-site with Cricut to help bring your spooky vision to life. Independent work with assistance available—make it your own, with help nearby if you need it. A hauntingly fun night of creativity, laughter, and Halloween vibes. Come early for dinner! Union Tavern has a full menu for dinner and drink purchase, including spirits of the nonalcoholic (and very real!) kind.  And if you didn’t know—legend has it the building itself is haunted!

Lake Effect

Wednesday November 12th

Lake Effect was formed on the belief that most really good songs hold up well even if stripped down to a basic acoustic version. That’s what they put out there; acoustic versions of a variety of music with all three voices working together. The bulk of their set lists come from the 70’s through the 90’s but they like to sprinkle in some newer songs as well as a few older classics along the way.
