Where We Pee: Extreme Soft Opening Edition at the Union of Westport

​Where We Pee is a weekly look at the excretory facilities of the music venues and cool-kid hangouts around town.

Blayney’s in Westport closed about a year and a half ago, but really it died years before that. Not to stomp on its grave or anything, but in its final years it lacked a certain mojo. This week, the space was resurrected as the Union of Westport. I don’t know all the specifics, but I know Megan Hamilton is involved at a high level, which gives the place a certain amount of cred. 

On Wednesday, they had what I heard was a “soft opening,” which is a phrase I do not understand. I mean, the bar was open. I walked by and the door was open and I walked inside. I would just call that a “This bar is open now.” But whatever. I went there to photograph their restrooms.
