A house specialty at the Clarkston Union is sausage. One variety uses dried cherries from northern Michigan. The restaurant also has several beers. Regardless of the sins and triumphs of the Union, it is a stunning architectural gem, unearthed and salvaged by owner Curt Catallo, whose parents, Sharron and Clarence, bought the building seven years ago and just happen to live, as did Curt, in an old Methodist church a block from the Union. It gleams, by way of high-gloss wood, muted yellow walls, sunlight pouring in and light shining from more than two dozen dangling industrial fixtures.
Music is jazzy, alternative and muted.
It draws a with-it crowd. You can't help but feel blessed here. But, food-wise, you may receive your earthly reward, or do penance. Moderate to very loud. No barriers .
