Happy July 4th!

We are open for business with regular hours today, and we would be happy to serve you a classic American meal on this classic American day!

We're especially proud because both MSN and Yahoo Travel have named Nashville as home to one of the best 4th of July shows in the USA! This is going to be a great show that you definitely won't want to miss out on. And don't worry: we've got you covered for dinner before the show.

417 Union is Open for July 4th!

That's right: this Thursday, July 4th, we will be open. Come on by before heading over to see the fireworks show. Fill up on classic American dining in our historical building and celebrate the uniformed and plain-clothed heroes who defended our nation during World War II and the Civil War.

Tuesday's Features in the Spotlight

Make Tuesday your day at 417 Union. Here are 3 reasons why:

1) Tuesday's feature is the blackened catfish:

2) There's also a couple great blue plate specials. Check out the fried chicken blue plate:

3) And the meatloaf blue plate:

P.S. We're sad to say that the Abita Root Beer is no longer on tap. Every last drop has been poured into our cups and handed to our customers. Thanks to everyone who gave it a try! Hope you liked it!

Happy Father's Day!

Anthony with his daughters Courtney and Rachel

I hope all you fathers out there are having a wonderful Father's Day! And I hope some of you are enjoying the 417 burger special where Dad gets a half price Union Street Burger and unlimited hand-cut fries. But in the meantime I want to celebrate the super cool father who got this whole 417 Union thing going. Happy Father's Day to you, Anthony! Keep dong all the great things you do!

Lots of love,

The 417 Union Team

Courtney Visits!

The oldest 417 Union daughter was just home for a quick visit! Courtney comes back every year around this time to be a counselor at Volunteer Girls' State. She just left but we already miss her so much!

The whole family back together! From left to right: Rachel, Anthony, Susan, and Courtney.

Also, don't forget that Sunday is Father's Day! We've got a great special for you. Bring Dad in and his Union Street Burger is half price. Plus he gets all the hand cut fries he can eat. What's not to love? See you Sunday!

Welcome to June!

Anthony with the girls: Courtney and Rachel

May has come and gone. Sad, maybe. But here comes June, and with it the start of a long season of great weather and summer vacation for you students out there!

Don't forget that June also brings Father's Day with it. Do something special this year, whether you're spending Father's Day with your dad or your kids, or both! It's Sunday, June 16th - save the date! I wonder what the girls have planned for Anthony this year?

Our featured battle of the month is the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, which took place on June 27th, 1964. For you fellow history nerds out there: Union commander William T. Sherman conducted a frontal assault on Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, mistakenly thinking his troops were too thinly spread alongside Kennshaw Mountain defending the confederate supply connection in to Atlanta. The Union army lost about 3,000 men in the defeat. Head to the Civil War Trust page for more information.


More candy for the history buffs: Today was a big day both in World War II history and in Civil War history. In the Civil War, the battle of Cold Harbor commenced on June 1, 1864.  Exactly 77 years later in 1941, Crete, the last Allied stronghold in Greece, fell to the Germans. The following year, also on June 1st, news of the German death camps became public for the first time.

Enjoy this supply of history, and enjoy the start of the 2013 June even more!

Root Beer Season

We love good root beer. That's why we picked up some Abita Root Beer. It's a sweet, delicious blend using pure Louisiana cane sugar - no artificial flavoring here! We'll have it on tap while supplies last, so make sure you drink some next time you're in. You'll be glad you did!

Also, we're excited to announce that 417 Union has opened an account on Pinterest!
