    Vibes

    Riprocks. What else is there to say? You come here, you drink, you have the time of your life. Swans, they run rampant in the W.C. (Women's only) It's a safe haven for your fry street debauchery for humans and swans alike. My only qualm is that the cheesy fries are so damn hot. Like sooooooooo hot! Like geez, if my cold step mother and these fries collided it would be an event similar in magnitude to the Big Bang. TLDR; Still pretty good. Nice deals. Hot fries? 4 starz.

    One of the bar & grills on Fry Street (I think it is actually on Hickory Street, but the area is called Fry Street? I'm learning). Has a nice large outdoor area with an outside bar. Inside has fun and unique items decorating the walls and ceiling. I think I saw a chandelier made of beer taps. There is a lot of seating and many TVs, so it was a great place to watch the game. The bathrooms were OK for a bar. They have awesome prices and specials every day. Like most of the other bars I went to on Fry Street, the specials are written on fun, lit up black dry erase boards with bright colors. They serve food too. We tried the fried pickles which were good but really salty. I guess that makes you drink more beer, I certainly did. Will be back here when I am in Denton.

    Hot wings and fries!

    I had been looking for a place that had good wings and I found it here! These are probably the best wings I've had in Denton. They closed for remodeling I believe and I can't wait for them to reopen!

    Frozen margaritas

    This place is great! $2.50 for a frozen magarita can't beat that! My only complaint is that it's FREEZING cold in the inside. Glad it was 80 degrees outside so we could drink outside otherwise I would had left. UPDATE last time I will be coming here again. Walked in and immediately got the ugliest stares from all of the staff. Felt very uncomfortable and I still dont understand why they had sticks up their asses. When I said thank you to the bartender who handed me my drink he just rolled his eyes and didn't say anything! Wtf? Sorry shitrocks but I had to deduct two stars for the shitty service I received last time. Once yall pull the sticks out of your asses I MIGHT come back.

    Best wings in denton for sure. This is THE PLACE to be this summer.

    They have a lot of things to do like arcade games and shuffleboard, which is nice. Not sure if I'd spend my whole night here.

    Decent place to grab a cold beer and a burger. Friendly staff and super close to UNT campus. Try the fries...crispy and delicious.

    The bar itself is pretty cool. The drink prices aren't very competitive considering how many bars are in that one area.

    This is probably the best bar on fry. You won't only find your college drinkers here but also…read morelocals. My favorite dive bar with the least pretentious people. They have great deals like 2 dollar doubles. You can grab a table inside or outside and subject yourself to bar games like giant connect four, corn hole, and pool. Most of the bartenders and staff are great. If you come here at night any day from Thursday - Saturday expect a wait at the bar. I've had one weird experience here. My friend called me to meet her at Lucky Lou's. I had just gone through the Taco Bell drive thru but decided to go in bring me food in (which is allowed.) I hadn't had one drink and I had been eating at a table for 10 minutes and someone working there came up to me and told me I can't have anymore drinks. It's was very odd. I wasn't even acting drunk I was literally sitting at a table eating Taco Bell talking with my friend. Anyway a couple of my friends kept buying me shots after that and they didn't kick me out so there's that. So just beware of some snarky workers. Definitely start your night here and end your night here if you're doing a fry crawl! This bar will always have a crowd.

They wouldn't let me in but wouldn't give my state issued real ID back for me to leave until someone else verified that it was real, and even then they weren't competent enough to figure out how to tell a real from a fake. They caused a scene and wouldn't give me my real ID back until we threatened to call the police on them since I couldn't make it home without it. The bouncer looked like a dear in headlights when we brought up cops and finally got a second opinion enough for me to get my actual state issued real ID back and STILL WOULD NOT LET US IN. I understand being a stickler for rules, bet your staff should be intelligent enough to know the difference between real and fake IDs without going through my phone....

    Over a year had passed since my last visit. Since that time, the quality of both the food and…read moreservice had declined. In the past, the Loophole burger was served with a steak knife so it could be cut in half. Ketchup would be served in its own container. This time, the burger and fries were served with two ketchup packets. By the time the burger was half finished, the bottom bun had fallen apart. The fries were soggy and lacked the previous seasoning. On the positive side, the discounted price appeared to be available all day on Sunday. The male bartender was too busy drafting a fantasy team with a regular. Fortunately, I placed both my drink and food order at the same time. After he served my drink, he never checked on me. Another employee served my food. I had to flag the bartender to get my check.

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!
