If you're missing your weekly King Trivia nights at Lvl Up, you can still have the trivia and the food that normally went with the King Trivia nights. Lvl Up is open for takeout, delivery, and "curbside dining" from 5pm to 9pm daily. Grab your food and drinks at Lvl Up then join King Trivia online at 7pm on the usual time on Sunday nights!
Our Campbell location remains open 7 days a week for takeout and Doordash deliveries.
We have received many questions about when we will open for outdoor dining and for the time-being, we have decided to wait until indoor dining has been approved by the Health Department.
We hope you will continue supporting us during this time. Many customers are getting their favorite sushi dishes, cocktails, beer, sake and cupcakes to go, and finding a picnic spot to enjoy everything, or take it home for the family.

Union Yoga is located at 244 Pearl Street in Downtown Old Monterey. There is still no set date for the reopening of the studio. We have made a decision to play this by ear as we want to make sure that when Union does reopen, it is because Monterey County Health Department and the CDC state it is safe to do so and we feel that we, as a community, have taken all of the steps we can to ensure we remain healthy. Online offerings will still be available for the foreseeable future both streaming and on Vimeo.
