Hagie’s 19 history begins in 1987, when Steve Hagedorn founded the establishment to address the lack of dining and drinking venues in Union, Missouri. Steve envisioned a welcoming space where locals could gather to enjoy quality food, drinks, and camaraderie. From its earliest days, Hagie’s 19 became a treasured Union MO bar, known for its warm atmosphere and commitment to excellence.
Growth and Expansion in the 1990s
During the 1990s, Hagie’s 19 experienced remarkable growth. Responding to increased demand, Steve introduced catering services, expanding the bar’s reach to serve local events and celebrations. The dining space was also expanded multiple times, solidifying Hagie’s 19 as a vital part of the Union community and a go-to family-owned sports bar for locals.
A Complete Transformation in 2010
