From Vision to Venture

Growing up in the restaurant business, founders Darren and Jeff Van Delden bring a wealth of experience to the forefront of their collective ventures. Realizing they had insight into the untapped potential of the hospitality industry, they opened the doors to their first venture, Aquarium in San Antonio, Texas, in 1998. Over two decades later, Union Venture Group has expanded across the Austin, Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth markets, curating an extensive portfolio of distinctive venues that reflect the commitment to the customer experience.
We constantly read the market, asking what people are doing and How we can do it better
