The Club Today
The Union League is a social club providing its members and guests with a quiet sanctuary and relief from the hustle of the city. The dining rooms reflect a subdued elegance with a chef and wine cellar that compare favorably with any in the city or, members can drop by the grill for a light lunch or supper. Members gather cordially for social events, theatre evenings, wine tastings or just to meet friends for a convivial drink at the bar. An active speaker program includes Public Affairs forums which have hosted outstanding speakers on current events since the 1880’s as well as library events with notable authors. The Club bestows two annual awards for two of its most prominent members: The Abraham Lincoln Literary Award to outstanding American authors, and the Theodore Roosevelt American Experience Award to individuals who have “enriched the American experience.”
