    Build your own pizzas

    We had dinner with friends at Union Bear Brewing Company last night, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The hostess greeted us warmly and seated us right away. From that point on, everything just kept getting better. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and lively. Our waitress, Erika, made the evening even more enjoyable with her exceptional service, friendly personality, and great sense of humor. She truly went above and beyond, and we'll definitely request her the next time we visit. If you haven't tried Union Bear Brewing Company yet, I highly recommend it. We're so happy to have such a fantastic restaurant and brewery so close to home!

    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

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The kids love their gluten free pizza options here. The service is always good and it's fun looking at all the things. Darts outside, back to the future wall paper inside. No complaints.

    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!

    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!

    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.

LSA Burger seems to be a pretty happening spot at 6:00 PM. We sat at the bar and ordered our beers and burgers. Our food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. The service was 9/10, quality and taste of the burger 10/10. The Waylon burger is actually a classic burger. The bread was so soft but not soggy. The meat patty was so juicy and moist that it had the slightest seasoning and it was still sooooooooo good! They didn't ask how we wanted our burgers so they were cooked medium. Surprisingly it was cooked to perfection and that's coming from someone that likes medium rare. The fries 10/10 great portion and were so fresh with just the right amount of salt and pepper. I loved how they were fried to perfection yet not greasy! The parking situation isn't great during peak time, but we got lucky and had only a short walk! When returning to Denton, LSA Burger will be on our favorites list.

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.

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.

My favorites are the Rooster Tails (fried onions) and the chips and queso, but the real stars of the menu are the burgers. They're always fresh, hot, and juicy. The free peanuts are a nice touch, and they offer daily specials as well. I really miss the Bloody Mary bar, which was always a lot of fun, but their Sunday special makes up for it with a generous double for just $7. There's always a game on TV, which is a welcome break when you've had enough politics to last a lifetime. The servers and bartenders are consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

There's a full bar on both floors as well. The staff was pretty attentive, but the wait for food took a long time. I was happy the cocktails came pretty quickly and were well-made. The food was all pretty good for the most part not wowed but good! I have no complaints about my plate; it came with a great portion of food and was reasonably priced for BBQ. I ordered pulled pork and a side of corn and tomato salad and coleslaw. The sides were different from what I've had before, but I did enjoy them. Their coleslaw is more vinegar than mayo-forward. The pulled pork was well-seasoned, and the side of BBQ was the perfect match. My margarita tasted as if they made the mix in-house, and I prefer this. Store-bought mixers are usually either too sweet or too sour. However, if it is store-bought, I'm impressed! This was not a sweet margarita. My partner went for the Tennessee Texas Hot Sandwich; I did try it. There was hardly any heat despite it being their spicy chicken sandwich. I'm not sure if they make their chips in house but it seemed so.
