Summary

Union Tavern is a Laid-back, cash-only neighborhood joint offering beers on tap & a steady lineup of indie rock shows. Formally known as PA's Lounge, the original venue's name derives from its original popularity as a club frequented by Portuguese immigrants (the letters P and A standing for Portuguese-American). P.A.'s then became a Portuguese seafood restaurant before re-opening as a live music venue and bar in the fall of 2002. WEMF is looking for local, regional acts to play at Union Tavern this fall/winter.
