    Old School Pool Hall. Lots of tables. Lots of players. Surprisingly good bar food. Beer always cold.

    Location Denton-just around the corner from the train…read morestation Atmosphere Classy local watering hole Seating Bar, outside low tables, hi tops, general seating, easy chairs in game area Service Best in town- outstanding!!! From front desk to bar to servers-great job!!! Menu Bar food, hand helds, salads, mains. We had drinks, wings, queso and chips. I ate all the chips n queso-so good!! The wings-lemon pepper were fat, meaty, and crispy-delish! Full bar menu for drinks. They fo have a happy hour. Summary Love this place! Convenient to DCTA-outstanding service, great menu! See you there!!

    What a great place! I had not been to Union Bear since visiting their Frisco location several years…read moreago, and I am happy to say it is still a fantastic spot for drinks, food, and a fun atmosphere. We started at the bar as our reserved table wasn't ready yet. My husband already knew what beer he wanted but I was on the fence. I decided to try one of the frozen cocktails, but one was a little too sour and the other was a bit too sweet. The bartender suggested mixing the two together into what they called a "Fraddy," and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and helpful, which is something that seems harder and harder to find these days. They have TVs throughout the restaurant, making it a great place to catch a game, and we especially enjoyed watching the World Cup there. The outdoor patio is spacious and inviting, and I also appreciated that they accept reservations. Bella was an outstanding server who made excellent recommendations for our meal. The pizza was very tasty, although it was slightly undercooked for our preference. We also ordered a small Caesar salad, which was good but a little smaller than expected, so we will definitely order the large next time. Overall, we had a great experience and will absolutely be back!

    This is an awesome little watering hole on good ole' Fry St…read more Just north of dude bro and frat boy central and just south of the Hipsterville bars on Hickory St. The crowd is probably one of the most diverse on the block. You never know what kind of night it will be here as the live entertainment on the patio varies daily. They've got Open Mic night on Mondays, you might get comedy or awesome local musicians on the stage. As for the weekend sometimes there'll be solo country acts, sometimes more alternative acts, sometimes full bands, and they've got a pretty good set of DJ's that play Weds & Thurs weekly! Definitely a party vibe always. Inside there are 4 pool tables of which are the best you'll find on Fry. On Sundays and Tuesdays they have 8-Ball and 9-Ball tournaments wherein you can come try your luck against some steep billiards competition. The inside and patio sort of keep separate vibes going where the inside is dominated by the jukebox and the outside is up to the performer. The patio bar is nicely done compared to how it was only a year ago since they remodeled it in March. They have a 100 shot bar that has a bit of everything on it, it's fun to experiment but dangerous to stand at for too much experimentation! Be warned haha! All in all this my go to bar, happy hour has $6 pitchers of Miller Lite, not my favorite but for the price? And the nightly drink specials are usually pretty awesome. Wednesdays get wild as double wells are $1 but it's always a good time! There's a great following here and if you take the time to get to know the staff they're all great guys in their own right, treat them well and they will reciprocate accordingly! The only bad thing I'd say about the place is it can get a bit smokey at times but it's not usually intolerable, no better or worse than Cool Beans or Riprocks. Thumbs up Garage, keep doing what you're doing Fry St. Bar at its best.

    Forget the name of our bartender but he was a bigger guy and said he was the "manager." Do not know…read moreif he was telling the truth. When we first got there he only let us order one round of drinks before he cut us off because he said it would harm his job for reasons I am unsure. Then he proceeds to give us free drinks on his tab but heavily insisted that we tip. After 2 rounds of these drinks he is giving us we give him a nice tip each time but after the 2 drinks we notice that he has not been putting liquor in them and just been serving them off the books for easy tips. Very unprofessional and just a weird interaction.
