Our Take

Fitzroy's Approachable Industrial Cocktail Bar

Union Electric is a Fitzroy basement cocktail bar with an industrial aesthetic — exposed brick, reclaimed-wood furniture, and a long marble bar. The cocktail program is built on classics with reasonable prices. The crowd is Fitzroy 25-40.

Bartenders are former Black Pearl alumni. The cocktail menu runs 12 builds rotating quarterly. Cash and card friendly. Walk-in friendly weekday early evenings, reservations recommended for the weekend.

Pair with Black Pearl for a more polished Fitzroy cocktail experience.
