Comic-Con weekend just got a whole lot more fun. Union Kitchen and Tap in the Gaslamp is going all in on Pokémon for the full run of Comic-Con 2026 – a Secret Pokémon Speakeasy, Eeveelution cocktails, a brunch buffet, a cosplay contest, and collectible giveaways across all four days.

Whether you’re badge-deep in the convention or just want a great Gaslamp hangout for the weekend, this is the spot.

Hunt Down the Hidden Pokémon Speakeasy

Tucked away from the Comic-Con bustle, Union’s hidden Secret Pokémon Speakeasy is decked out with immersive themed décor, nostalgic Pokémon-inspired cocktails, and collectible surprises throughout the weekend.

Stop by and enter to win exclusive Pokémon collectibles and prizes provided by Papa Joey’s Collectibles. It’s the kind of hidden gem that makes Comic-Con weekend feel like a proper adventure.

Six Drinks, One for Every Evolution

Union’s limited-time cocktail lineup is inspired by the iconic Eeveelutions – vibrant flavors and colors to match each evolution:

Eevee – Tito’s Espresso Martini with optional bourbon cream
Flareon – Angry Orchard and Fireball
Glaceon – Herradura Frozen Margarita
Jolteon – Jack Daniel’s Lynchburg Lemonade
Leafeon – Fords Gin Garden Mojito
Vaporeon – Parrot Bay Blue Hawaiian

Each specialty cocktail comes with a Poké Ball containing a surprise Pokémon figurine while supplies last.

Cards, Beer, and a Very Good Deal

Collectors will want to know about the Pack and Pint Special – a house beer and a pack of Pokémon trading cards for $17. Throughout the weekend, exclusive custom Union Pokémon trading cards are also available, only during Comic-Con.

Fuel Up at the Pokémon Brunch Buffet

Before hitting the convention floor on the weekend, stop into Union for the Pokémon Brunch Buffet.

A full breakfast spread featuring house-made pastries from Molly’s Mission Beach, fresh coffee, and hearty brunch favorites – the ideal way to power up before a full day at Comic-Con.

Show Off Your Best Cosplay

On Saturday, Union hosts a Comic-Con Cosplay Contest open to all – anime, superheroes, sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, or anything in between. Compete for prizes and celebrate the creativity that makes Comic-Con weekend what it is.
