31st Union

Jimmy has been an integral part of 31st Union’s story for quite some time. For those who had the pleasure of dining with us pre-pandemic, you may have seen his smiling face at our host stand. Once the pandemic was upon us, Jimmy really stepped up abs took the initiative to learn various new roles, adapt with the ever changing day to day and was a huge support. The team is incredibly grateful for all the hard work this guy has put in. ... Jimmy, thank you! Portland is lucky to have you. We wish you all the best on your future endeavours!

Our Featured Family Meal is Braised Lamb Shoulder w/ Rice Pilaf and Sautéed Savoy Cabbage. Dinner is served for Two or Four. Order online at 31stunion.com! We recommend pairing w/ Ridge Lytton Springs. This full bodied Zinfandel is elegant with bright acidity and well integrated tannins. ... Available for takeout and delivery after 4pm!

The Margarita is usually synonymous with great cocktails from Mexico, however South of the Border, La Paloma reigns supreme. Traditionally the Paloma is served on the rocks w/ fresh lime and grapefruit soda. We showcase the Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit in a clarified cordial with a touch of Champagne Acid, which adds a little brightness. ... Our bottled cocktails are comprised with the tequila and soda base (clarified grapefruit cordial & acidity) and include one bottle of Thomas Henry Soda Water.

Some of you may remember way, way back in March when we sent out an email declaring "We are All in this Together." While lots have changed since then (pivot... pivot again!), we've fought tooth and nail to keep our good spirits in tact. We hope you have, too. Since tonight is the last night of the year we can dine out in San Mateo County, we figure why not toast to us... all of us... for making it this far and still having our doors open for business? We invite you to j...oin us under a heat lamp on our patio. We will deliver some bubbles to your table so we can all pretend it's already 2021. Call us optimists, call us fools, but one way we believe we will get through this, together. As always we are grateful for your part in our story. Call 650.458.0049 to reserve your table

Seen here: our Clear Conscience Cocktail is bonafide #clarifiedcocktail named as a tribute to @clearconsciencereggae and is made with #martisilver rum and #smithandcrossrum macerated with pineapple, cinnamon and clove and blended with coconut water and clarified with a light milk-wash. Our Solace in Death Valley is a summer cocktail with 100% #eljmador Agave Tequila Blanco, California strawberries, Mexican gooseberries, lime juice and cane sugar syrup and garnished with star anise. Both cocktails can be enjoyed at home bc #togococktails or on the corner of Ellsworth and Baldwin for your perfect summer chill day.
