this is honestly such a cute local spot and there's a lot of people within the area and neighbors that come and hang out there - which made it so homey/cozy vibes. i stopped by recently and really enjoyed my visit. the bartenders were so fun and i had a great time interacting with them/the drinks they made were also really good! if you're in the area, definitely stop by and grab a drink or two!!

Super cool and nice people awesome music here and colorful interiors

The DJ and the staff were pretty nice and friendly but do not come here without friends... The crowd was pretty boring. The dance floor had just one or two drunk people dancing but that's it. Definitely a good choice if you want to go with a few friends, play pool, or bar games and grab some reasonably priced drinks...

Nice place. Played Call Your Shot 8 ball with the locals. Good folks. Good times. Tthanks! Update: I have been going to Peppertree for about a year now and the service, staff, entertainment and pool players have only gotten better. The theme nights keep things interesting. Tthanks for The good Times.

Union City Monday Night Comedy! There is a comedy show every Monday from 8pm - 10pm. At the show you can watch the up and coming comedians from the bay area work on their material. Some nights it is an open mic so anyone can sign up.

I think the peppertree owners have a great group of daytime bartenders. Walter, Andrea, Celie, and Reana are all very professional, personable and just fun to hang out with. I think the owners would be very smart to take good care of this group. They work hard for there tips and make great money for the Bar.

I was pleasantly surprised! The venue is NICE! It's very modern and spacious. I went for a 50th bday and had a fantastic time

Really fun daytime dive bar.
