    Reviews With Photos - Union Bear Brewing

    Pizza
    Sarah C.

    Service was great! It was a slower night, tasty options / first visit. I liked the vibe- clean, casual. I had the Rueben, I did not care for their sauce- it's their version of thousand island. It was a little spicy for me...but I'm spice averse, lol. I would recommend!

    Menu - sandwiches
    Mike E.

    Beer is very good and a nice variety, not overloaded with IPA like most craft breweries. Our server was great. High-energy and he knew the menu very well (food and beers). The food missed the mark a bit. The Reuben has their own sauce instead of a good thousand islands dressing and it wasn't great. A Reuben doesn't have interchangeable ingredients. It came with "salt and pepper" fries but these completely tasteless fries had neither (as in not a sprinkle of either). A salad was described as "OK". The atmosphere is casual, a little more upscale feeling inside compared to the look of the building's exterior.

    Perfect brew
    Andrew C.

    I've always enjoyed Union Bear brews and since I was in town we weren't far from the brewery. The place was packed so you know they're doing something right. The food was great and so were those icy cold suds they are pushing out. Glad I could support a local brewery!

    Chips and queso
    Travis And Elizabeth N.

    We had stopped by to try the beer glad we did, this is now one of our local places. Good food, excellent staff very friendly. We enjoyed sitting by the kitchen We got a glimpse of everything coming out and are excited to head back soon. Tried many of the beer some were good and some fantastic. Great experience here are a few pictures. Travis

    Shrimp tacos
    Khiem H.

    I'll start off saying the food here is surprisingly good for a bar. The pork rinds and shrimp tacos were great, I'd skip the pizza though. The service amazing. There's plenty of seating and super chill. I'd comeback again when I'm in the area.

    Wings, hot sauce ( also comes with ranch), brussel sprout slaw

    Location Downtown Denton-near transit center Parking Large open lot Atmosphere Local brewery/restaurant Seating "Lounge" with couches, comfy seats, games, hi tops, tv's, and games/pool tables. General seating-bar, tables, booths. Covered patio low tables and seats. Service Very attentive and friendly-so many servers! Menu Appetizers, burgers, pizza, salads, desserts. Happy hour menu with food and beverages. Full bar-so many beers. We had the wings and Brussel sprout slaw. The wings are AMAZING-have a sweet flavor-like honey-slightly spicy. Best wings in the DFW. The slaw was such a generous serving-sliced finely-light dressing-not saucy. The dessert menu was so tempered ting. We had the brownie with rocky road ice cream-delish! Soft and warm. Really good-topped with a rolled cookie. Summary Our first time at Union Bear. Fantastic from start to finish. Friendly and attentive service, outstanding atmosphere, great food-lots of choices! See you there!

    UB continues to be the best spot in Denton. It's great for family dinners, great for happy hours, great for watching a game. The service is unmatched - friendly, fast, fun, personable. The food is always good - high quality, well made, always the same high standard. The beer is, of course, the best thing about this place! Try all the draft beers you can!

    Kids chicken tenders
    Denise

    Fabulous vibes, great beer selection, and the BEST food. There hasn't been a single item I've ordered that hasn't met my top 3 favorites ever. Chicken tenders? The absolute best. Reuben? BEST. Pretzel? 2nd favorite. Burger? 3rd favorite. Seriously. And their staff is so kind and welcoming!

    UB bowl
    Erik C.

    Went to the place on a Sunday night for dinner and it was pretty impressive overall. First off the service that night was great, our server knew what he was doing and was great with us. Food wise you can tell everything is made fresh and overall was delicious. This place was great especially for dinner since the ambiance was nice but also chill.

    Lemon blueberry cake
    Mercedes D.

    The outside is unassuming but don't let that fool you. The food inside goes hard. There were a few things I would definitely recommend above others- like the Mediterranean plate and the fish and chips. The Korean shrimp tacos were also delicious but the side of chips and queso throws off the plate a little bit. The service is awesome and the staff really knows their menu and beers well so the recommendations are top notch.

    Sweet & Spicy Shrimp
    Marilyn T.

    Food was phenomenal! Service was quick and friendly. Aline was the best! Great food and drink recommendations. We loved everything about our visit! Super busy- it's Dance Nationals weekend! A little loud like a pub, but fun! Inside and outside seating. We sat inside at a high top table that was split with another party. Worked out just fine.

    Skinny Bear
    Nancy T.

    Such a great location - so spacious inside & options to sit outside & enjoy the fresh air. Heaters avail too. Great service & fresh, delicious food & bev options. Chose a Falafel Burger & Chicken Sandwich (added bacon) both were huge & came with fries. Also enjoyed the Skinny Bear & a cold tasty ale. Both were so good & we'll most certainly be back!

    Great food and beer. They do flights which was great for their seasonal beers. Service was good but the place is loud. Very loud.

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.

From the moment we walked in until the end of our evening, the experience was absolutely exceptional. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and host, both of whom wished us a happy anniversary and immediately escorted us to our table. To our surprise, the table had been beautifully decorated with rose petals such a thoughtful and special touch that instantly set the tone for the evening. Our server, Adam, greeted us shortly after and walked us through the specials, again wishing us a happy anniversary. We ordered a special appetizer, the octopus, steak, fresh bread, and margaritas. Everything was incredibly delicious. The margaritas especially impressed me I'm not a big drinker and tend to be very picky about cocktails, but it was perfectly balanced and so enjoyable. Throughout our meal, we were checked on regularly, both by our server and by the owner, Phil. Adam went above and beyond to ensure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. It was also wonderful to see Phil personally checking on guests, clearing plates, and staying actively involved in the dining room. It's rare to see an owner so hands-on and genuinely engaged with customers. We finished the evening with crème brûlée for dessert, which was absolutely amazing and such a generous surprise when it was gifted to us in celebration of our anniversary. The entire night felt thoughtful, personal, and memorable. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and an owner who truly cares. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend Hannah's for any special occasion.

The chicken pesto entree was okay, but they used some other herb besides Basil in the pesto that is just not my jam-- dill maybe?, chervil??-- I dunno, but it threw off the flavor for me. That said, the cutlet underneath was very crispy and all the bites without the pesto were delish!. I have heard raves about the burger, so maybe that is worth another shot?? The service?, not stellar, just bored and unenthusiastic at the counter and s-l-o-w from the kitchen. The carrot came out quickly, but the cutlet took about 30 minutes after that, and the place was nearly empty. And, sorry to mention this part, the bathroom was filthy. I try not to correlate a dirty bathroom with a dirty kitchen, but it's difficult to reconcile.
