It is a popular location for the Washington County legal community. The location at the corner of Wheeling and Main Streets has been home to taverns/restaurants dating back to 1791, the beginning of the Whiskey Rebellion. It bears no relation to the similarly named restaurant in nearby Pittsburgh.[4] Food and ambianceThe ambiance boasts a "frills-free Italian vibe."[4] It seats 150.[1] The Union Grill is located in the bottom floor of the building, and because of its location at the top of a hill, part of the floor is below ground.[7] The main entrance leads down a short flight of stairs from Wheeling Street.[7] This rathskeller style entrance is the source of the restaurant's local nickname, "The Down and Under," or "D and U."[4] The bar room is filled with wooden booths, brick walls, and antique furnishings.[7] Other dining rooms split off from the main dining room, and feature Victorian oak furnishings.[7] Importance in WashingtonIt is a local landmark in Washington, particularly attracting the legal crowd from the nearby courthouse that it is "almost a clubhouse for lawyers, judges and journalists."[1] It has been described as Washington's "Place To Be Seen."[4] The "back room" serves as a "gathering point for local bigwigs."[2] For example, During the 1992 Presidential primary election in Pennsylvania, then-longshot Bill Clinton visited The Union Grill.[3][4] With its proximity to David Bradford House and Washington & Jefferson College, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that "[l]unch or dinner at the historic Union Grill would be an appropriate way to start or end an interesting day in Washington, Pa."[1] HistoryThe Union's Grill's location in Washington was the home of the White Goose inn and tavern, dating to 1791.[5] In 1806, it was sold to John Rettig who renamed it the "Golden Swan," also called "the Sign of the Swan."[5] On August 15, 1808, printers William Sample and William B. Brown opened The Reporter (now Observer–Reporter) newspaper in the basement. The first edition featured an advertisement for the Golden Swan.[5] The original building was demolished in 1846 and replaced with a 3-story brick building called the Valentine House, which was itself destroyed by a grease fire in 1899.[5] The Siegel brothers rebuilt the building and renamed it the Siegel Hotel; it was renamed the William Henry Hotel.[5] The current iteration, The Union Grill, was opened in 1967 by Michael Flynn, whose family still owns the restaurant.[5] It was named in honor of the stonemasons and union workers who frequented the tavern.[5] In 2003, Michael "Mickey" Flynn Jr., his business partner, and 8 others were charged by Pennsylvania Attorney General Mike Fisher with running an illegal gambling ring out of the restaurant.[6][7] Flynn was convicted and was granted bond in 2006.[8] References{{commons category}}1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news | last =Downer | first =Elizabeth | title =Union Grill a favorite spot for legal crowd in Washington, Pa. | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =April 11, 2007 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/restaurant-reviews/2007/04/11/Union-Grill-a-favorite-spot-for-legal-crowd-in-Washington-Pa/stories/200704110409 | accessdate =November 23, 2013 }} {{Washington, Pennsylvania}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Union Grill}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news | title =Munch goes to the Union Grill | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =October 19, 2006 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/restaurant-reviews/2006/10/19/Munch-goes-to-the-Union-Grill/stories/200610190440 | accessdate =November 23, 2013 }} 3. ^{{cite news | last =Roddy | first =Dennis |author2=Janet Williams | title =Clinton promises "fight for future" here (continued on page A4) | newspaper =The Pittsburgh Press | date =April 27, 1992 | page=A4 | url =https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=DPcjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=B2QEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5692%2C7100224 | accessdate = November 23, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web | title =A City of Presidents.
