Know Before You Go
Why it matters
Union Stage is a below-grade Wharf venue with a multi-level 450-person concert room, three bars and a calendar spanning music, comedy, podcasts and spoken-word events.
Getting there
Use Waterfront station on the Green Line and walk south to The Wharf. Wharf garages are convenient but expensive and slow to empty after simultaneous events.
Bag policy
Small purses, fanny packs and shoulder bags are allowed and do not need to be clear. Large bags, including backpacks and duffel bags, are prohibited. All bags are searched at entry.
Local tips
The venue is below the Wharf promenade and can be missed from street level. Confirm the stair or elevator entrance, and eat before joining the line because the waterfront gets crowded on weekend evenings.
