Remember that a forefather of colonial days, Benjamin Franklin, an inventor and member of the Continental Congress, in Washington, D.C. famously said, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

The building has that old-school charm that makes it feel like it's been part of the neighborhood for ages. They've got daily specials all week long even on the weekends and the drink prices were super reasonable. Definitely a good spot for day drinking and relaxing with friends. As for the service, well it was slow. Not because the staff wasn't working hard, because they were, but they were clearly understaffed and maybe a little inexperienced. It wasn't wall-to-wall packed, but still things did take a while. Same with the food, everyone around us had ordered, and we could tell the kitchen was struggling. We later heard there was just one cook handling everything ,which explains the long wait. But the food is worth it. We had the beer cheese soup, grilled cheese, and some tots. Throw the tots in the soup, trust me on this one ! Simple but very delicious. The live music was also different, lots of variety and different bands of musicians rotating through with all kinds of styles. Overall, we really liked this bar, it was very laid-back, affordable with lots of personality. If im in. the area again I'll definitely be back!

The folks who work here (shoutout to Gracie!) are kind, fun, and helpful. The beer is great - a diverse selection of kolsch, lights, darks, IPAs, lagers, ciders, sours, and rotating stuff. They have fun events regularly and the best Oktoberfest in Denton. (They do also have wine, sodas, and N/A drinks.) We come to DCBC at least once a week! It's our home Tottenham bar so we are there for soccer (and beer), and they treat our supporters club like royalty. To be fair, they treat everyone really well, but we like to think we are special. This place has a warm vibe, and I think it makes everyone feel welcome. Plus there's almost always at least one dog in there you can pet - sometimes it's even our dog!

Great local brewery! Stop in whenever I'm traveling to Denton. Great beer and laid back atmosphere.read more

You walk through a tiny, almost hidden door, head up a long stairwell, and suddenly you're in this moody, library-style space that feels equal parts speakeasy and literary hideout. It's intimate, dimly lit, and full of character. The cocktails are where this place really shines. The Homemade Smoking Jacket is a standout -- smoky, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted. The espresso martini was also excellent: smooth, bold, and not overly sweet. You can tell they take their cocktail program seriously. Why four stars instead of five? It's small and can feel tight when busy, and you may need a little patience depending on the crowd. But honestly, that's part of the charm. If you're looking for a unique, tucked-away spot in Denton with excellent drinks and a cool vibe, this is absolutely worth the climb up the stairs.

Probably one of the best "Speakeasy" vibes in Texas. Very friendly bar staff and great drink menu…read more The Smoked Old Fashioned hit the spot!

My wife's favorite ice cream store is next door to this place and she asked me to pick up a couple of shakes for her and her friend, so I grabbed a burger while I waited for their shakes. Choosing one thing was tough. On their menu we're Pizzas, Burgers, Sandwiches, Nachos, Loaded Fries, Salads, and more. But I figured, that old adage of "When in Rome", so I ordered the Loophole Burger. It was a "Wowza"!! The Fries were really good too. I am not even a Fries guy, but I ate them all! Ezekiel, the server, was fantastic. He even gave me suggestion for my next visit, which I am going to try. The ambiance here is really neat. It is in an old brick building and is kind of split level inside. Think antique brick & really old hard wood stairs and you will begin to understand the historic presence of this place.

We also ordered the Potato Skins that were filled with mashed potato (like a twice baked potato) and queso cheese. That too, was a perfect start to our experience. My wife and I shared The Flo aka a Mushroom Swiss Patty Melt, with some house fries. I also had dessert, which was an American Pie Old Fashioned. All of it... all so good.
