“WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS A PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED, PROFESSIONALLY BUILT, PROFESSIONALLY DRAWN UP PLACE.” Rachelle Smith

The new attraction was dubbed Union Social , and the ownership wanted it to be fun, yet upscale. In order to accomplish this, Smith says they hired Megan Renee of Renee Designs to make their project come to life. “From the lighting, to the seating, to the colors, to the art—everything was so specifically chosen by our designer, and she created what I think is an upscale, but also hip and classy atmosphere,” said Smith. Union Social opened November of 2024 with 12 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, six axe-throwing lanes, and 50 arcade games. The food menu includes shareables like the popular Buffalo Pita Dip , handhelds like the Panko Chicken Sandwich , Smash Burgers like the Blazing Beast , and flatbreads like the Pleased to Meat You . “Our food and beverage director, Francisco [ Gajardo ], has put every thought into every detail of his menu he created,” said Smith. “And when he doesn't like something, he changes it until he likes it.”
