Union Pool opened in 2000 in a former pool-supply storefront, and the space has stayed true to a single commitment: supporting art, music, and friends. What began as a neighborhood corner bar has become a 150-capacity live music room where local, national, and international bands and musicians perform in the intimate back room. The patio hosts an on-site taco stand and serves as a gathering space year-round. The owners maintain a strong commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, reflected in diverse programming. This focus on community engagement has cultivated a loyal following among locals who view it as a vital part of the neighborhood. No playlist is too mixed, no genre too small—Union Pool books everything from indie rock to grindcore, records releases and showcase shows alike.
