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.

I wasn't sure as I was looking for the people I was joining. I walked through the bar area where I made a pit stop to order a drink. The staff were super friendly and there was a nice option for drinks. They even had specialized drinks for the season. Went to the back yard where there were picnic tables set up. It also gives access to the food trucks set up out back. When sitting at a table they have a QR code so you can order drinks and not have to go inside and possibly stand in line and they will bring the drinks to your table. Overall we had a great time and experience. I would definitely come back again!

We visited again for a late lunch for my son's birthday and let me tell you, EVERYTHING from…read moreservice to food was amazing. Our waters were never empty. My Paloma and dirty martini were fabulous. My daughter ordered the pot roast grilled cheese, zero complaints. She absolutely loved the onion jam. My two youngest had the kid's tenders and a full salad. Again no complaints. My husband and I shared the crab stuffed flounder. Absolutely delicious. The 5 grain risotto was creamy, the seasoned veggies had the perfect bite to them. The fish was perfect cooked. My mother had the BLT. That thing was STACKED with thick cut perfectly crispy bacon. My son and his girlfriend each had the hot honey chicken sandwich and the Nashville hot chicken. HUGE pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked and again, theme of the night, zero complaints. Overall, this was infinitely better than our last visit. Granted, service was never the issue but food wise, yall were working some magic in that kitchen this time around.

I walked by 940s Kitchen for over a year, not realizing what I was missing, until today. And I have…read morebeen missing something special! It's unassuming from the entrance, but it's in a historic square in Denton, so I know it's going to have charm. And charm is the right word for this restaurant. Exposed old brick walls, the kind you know have experienced much over the past 100 years. The decor looks like a step back in time (but modern) almost like you're walking back into the 1940s. It's gorgeous! The food was super good too! I had the eggplant sandwich and I enjoyed every bite. The thing I really like about this restaurant is all the vegetarian portions along with the normal staple meat options. It's a wonderful menu. The staff was in point - very polite and friendly. And I dk like suggestions when I go to eat at a new restaurant, and I was not disappointed. Our waitress knew the menu and knew how the food tasted. Love that!

I've come to The Kava Bar in Denton several times and have usually enjoyed the atmosphere, which is…read morewhy this is disappointing to write. Lately, though, something feels very off. The overall vibe has changed, and not in a good way. There seems to be a clear tension in the space that makes it uncomfortable to be there as a customer. From what I've observed, the current manager creates a very unpleasant environment. She consistently appears angry, tense, and overly controlling, and it visibly affects the staff. The employees often look uncomfortable, uneasy, and as though they are being constantly micromanaged. It's hard not to notice, and it completely changes the energy of the place. As someone who has spent money here and genuinely liked coming in before, it's frustrating to see management have such a negative impact on what used to be a welcoming environment. A business like this depends heavily on atmosphere, and when management makes both employees and customers feel uncomfortable, it reflects directly on the entire experience. I'm honestly surprised this hasn't already driven more employees away, because it is definitely pushing customers away. I hope ownership seriously reevaluates the current management situation before it causes even more damage to the business.

The queso fundido was the best thing we got. But everything else was just "meh". Then we got the tres leches for dessert and it wasn't even wet which sealed the deal for me.

It was cooked perfectly and their house made mayo really sets the stage for the taste! I also got their garlic and parmesan fries are the star of the show. Soooooo good! And the house made dipping sauce - mmmmm good! Our waiter was great! I met a friend and we were catching up on time instead of looking at the menu, and he was very patient with us.
