About This Pub
Ah, mates, let me tell you about The Union Club – it's one of those unpretentious gems in Rotherham that really shines for anyone up for a pre-match pint. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, even if you're an away fan, which is just brilliant for building that community spirit. The prices are a winner too; you're talking solid value on drinks and grub, like a cheeseburger and chips for a fiver, which leaves you with more cash for the game. And the location? Spot on, with a quick stroll to the ground and free parking to boot – it's all about convenience without the hassle. On the flip side, though, I've heard it might be closed at the moment, which would be a right pity, and it's got that basic, no-frills feel that might not suit if you're in the mood for something a bit posher. Plus, tracking down details online is a bit of a chore since there's no website. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a relaxed, affordable spot with a good vibe, but do your homework first to avoid any disappointments.

This is a brilliant pub lovely staff very friendly price were good and a nice little walk to the ground
We visited yesterday for some pre match drinks.Great atmosphere and warm welcome.Just a 10 minute walk to the ground.Good food options and prices were very good (cheese burger & chips £5)
Best pint of John smiths I’ve had in a long time.Even though it was rammed full with our fans (Wrexham),service was good even though they were short staffed due to 2 or 3 not turning up for work.
Highly recommend for away fans of other clubs
So nice to be looked after properly as away fans especially as we are Millwall. A great pre match set up and thanks for giving me and my mate a lift to the ground. We should have stayed at the club drinking 😂. Best wishes.
Came here for the Rotherham/Norwich game on Sat 5/11/22, and as a away fan, the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Understandably the away fans in the club were getting loud ahead of the game, but the staff at the club were very professional throughout. The stadium is about a 10/15min walk away but its definitely a good place to drink as an away fan before the game.
Advertises as a place fir away football fans to gather before a match. It is a classic working mens pub but that’s fine for this function. Nothing fancy but very friendly staff and well priced “football” style food. 15 minutes walk from the ground and free parking. Not sure what else you’d want when travelling away. Happily use again.
