Out here visiting our son, who happens to live right around the corner at a square, and we decided to walk on over as this caught our eyes a couple of times when visiting. So we did it... and man... totally love the vibe here! We had no idea what to expect, but good food, great music, sports on the tele, and great drinks... what more could you ask? We ordered some Fried Pickles, which is ALWAYS a hit, especially with that Jalapeño Ranch dipping sauce... Hot Damn that was good! We also ordered the Potato Skins that were filled with mashed potato (like a twice baked potato) and queso cheese. That too, was a perfect start to our experience. My wife and I shared The Flo aka a Mushroom Swiss Patty Melt, with some house fries. I also had dessert, which was an American Pie Old Fashioned. All of it... all so good. My son ordered The Jaky, which was a pork schnitzel topped with gravy. He also had some Mac n Cheese to go with it. He seemed pretty impressed by it. Overall, great service and an excellent experience. We will definitely be back again! As always, Enjoy & Happy Eating! read more

Service was not just bad it was non-existent. Food was bland. For example: The salmon Caesar salad was lettuce with salmon on top and Caesar dressing. No croutons or parmesan cheese. Just lettuce and salmon. Place was nearly empty on a Saturday late afternoon. Should have been a clue. read more

Would not know about food as we sat for 10 min. Waitress looked and me twice and did not speak. We left!! Won't be back read more

We love it here! Have been customers for several years now. Good food, good drink deals, good vibes & a good patio view! read more

Mollie was our server again and she was very sweet, attentive and helpful. I had a burger and sampled the nacho appetizer and both were great! Line dancing lessons with Diane on Wednesdays are so much fun! She's a great teacher. This has been our place to go every Wednesday. Thanks for the fun! read more

Great food and service. Fun atmosphere and good drinks! We went for the wrestling event which was a blast. Came early to try the appetizers, we loved the bacon wrapped jalapeños and fried pickles the best, potato skins were also tasty with lots of Queso. After the show we had the 4 cheese grilled cheese with pork loin on it and I have to say it was the most delicious grilled cheese I ever had!!! The Ranch burger was also quite tasty. We will be back for more events!! read more

Terrible experience! Super slow service, cold food, even the ice tea sucked. Definitely a lot better options within a 1/4 mile of this place. read more

Had an event, spoke beforehand with a goal budget, charged double that with added charges and a mandatory 25% gratuity. The 25% gratuity was also added to every bar tab and most attendees did not realize it because the print was sneaky, so ended up tipping additional. Sticky tables, overpriced food. Ended up being about $30/ person. This is a fine spot for a casual happy hour. read more

Today was our first time. The food was excellent! We had spinach artichoke dip. It was the best I ever had! The chicken wings were very meaty with an excellent flavor. We got barbecue and teriyaki. The Caesar salad was excellent as well. All in all a great experience. The service is on the slower side but it was early afternoon. read more

Soooooo, walked in to the restaurant the hostess was a little lost on how to help Us to the bar area. But once we got to the bar it took 10 mins to order a drink, while waiting for my drinks, another table blurts out they want another pitcher and low and behold like magic they jump the line and get served. finally after 15 mins we get served our drinks by an annoyed bartender! Place is not managed well and needs some help, theres a lot of opportunities for this place with overflow restaurants and country club audience but yet they just cant crack that nut on service. #disappointed #DOBETTER #lossrevenue read more

Looking for a sports bar and found LakeHaus. I had the Haus Sampler with lemon pepper wings, Dive Bombs, chicken quesadilla and loaded nachos either chicken. Wife had the chicken schnitzel. Son had the Mean Green burger. Everything was tasty and fresh. Our server was new but she was awesome and very attentive to our orders. A little out of the way but worth the effort. Will be back when in the area. read more

Attended a dinner here -- vibes were NOT it. The room was dingy, the service was terrible, AND they ran out of food, which was mid.

Sam, Macy, and Brecken did an amazing job serving at a private party here! The atmosphere was great, and we felt right at home! Highly recommend!! read more

Unicorn Lake Entertainment Mecca meets suave new flash interior; be amazed by how the lake wraps around the actual architecture of maybe the most dramatic views where alcohol is freely available for sale. Remember that you are responsible for your personal ride to and from the venue so buckle up and don't risk driving if you have too many drinks and manage your egress effectively and ensure your safety on your drive home. I have enjoyed a classy time with my friends here before and may sometime soon again. Cheers, Mark F. read more

This place does not get the recognition It deserves. Pool tables, arcade games, great views by the water and great vibes. Bar tenders are amazing and super friendly, they will serve you right by the water! read more

For sometime, I had wanted to revisit this place after enjoyable visit the previous year. My latest experience was mediocre. Many of the seats on the right side of the bar was available, so I decided to sit there. Only later did I realize the reason. The bartenders would spend their time socializing with each other or their regulars on the left side. There were many times the bartenders would walk by me but not check if I needed anything. As a result, it took longer to order my beer, dinner, dessert and the check. While I had the intention of ordering a hot meal, I ended up getting the Stuffed Avocado. When I saw bruschetta in the description, I expected the typical bread topped with the tomato salad. In this case, bruschetta described the tomato topping on the stuffed avocados. While slightly disappointed, the entree was still enjoyable. I purposely ordered a light meal so I would have room for the Cookies & Cream Cheesecake. Rather than cheesecake, it felt as if I was eating a marshmallow. The consistency was not what I expected from a cheesecake. read more

The food is delicious, bursting with flavor, and the patio is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. I absolutely love the live music, which adds an inviting and uplifting atmosphere to the entire experience. read more

Cool spot, has a great view of the lake. They do not have vegan options other than the usual selections from a bar menu. I had a veggie wrap with fries and wasn't that impressed. Could be a good spot for drinks though! If you enjoy bar food you will enjoy their menu just doesn't have a lot of variety for people with different diets. read more

Here's a needle in a haystack. Who knew this was such a great place from the scenery to the wait staff. Good vibes here. They could use more parking and an extended menu. We had wings , burgers, and quesadillas. The burgers were particularly good! Quesadillas filing and mild wings tasty. Special shout out to Sam or waitress who couldn't be more accommodating and pleasant. read more

Visited about 2 weeks ago in needs of trying a new place, was recommended trying this place my some friends from Camp Gladiator. Walked in and immediately had a warm feeling, decor was on point, and the hostess was friendly and got us seated quickly. We took our time looking at the menu and we started off with the chips salsa and queso (delicious btw) Kier was our waiter (very kind gentlemen and very patient with us) we finally decided on The Vegan Nightmare and Street Tacos. My boyfriend demolished The Vegan Nightmare (its huge btw) and I couldn't quite kill my street taco meal there was sooo much food on that plate (also quite delicious). By the end of it we were full as could be. I am definitely wanting to make a trip back out here and try some more item to give a better more extensive review, but if you haven't tried it you should! read more

By far the worst place to eat!!!!! Me and my wife ordered the GYRO, TRASHCAN NACHOS, POTATO SKINS and two mixed drinks and it was all horrible!! The gyro bread was burnt and that's all I could taste, the nachos were stale and the chicken tasted frost bitten, the potato skins were so dry and hard, my wife's drink tasted like straight nail polish remover even though it was supposed to be a mixed berry drink, my drink was tasted like they dumped a bottle of sweet syrup in it..... we will never be going back! Also WAY over priced all of that came out to about $70!!! Our server was okay. He did his job best he could. read more

I only come here for Latin night. Every 4th Friday of the month they have Latin music to dance from 10pm-2am. The drinks are good and cheap compared to other places I've been too. I highly recommend getting the prickly pear mule it's delish and made with a vodka from a local distillery. I've also tried the wings and fries. The wings were okay, not crispy enough and a little dry for my taste, but the fries were good. The staff is also pretty friendly. They do also have pool tables and other events like live music and comedy shows. This places isn't really my vibe and I only come here to dance, but if you're into dive bars I think this one is worth checking out. read more

Went to try something local...and wish we had looked a little harder. The inside is a nice sports bar.... Tons of big screens and large bar, plenty of seating for large groups. We decided to sit outside, and regretted every minute of it. Bugs, spider webs...just grimey. We ordered crab cakes, they came out cold and mushy.... Didn't eat more than one. Proceeded to entrée, ordered the gourmet grilled cheese with ham and tomato. They forgot the tomato (but it took a long time, so I just stick with what I got...cold grilled cheese and fries). Husband ordered the Texas chopped steak, the only good thing was that it made him appreciate my cooking. Everything took long, even paying. read more

The LakeHaus - Dive bombs and chicken tacos - Dive Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

Well, we tried to eat/drink there last weekend. Sat in the bar area and was never greeted, asked for drinks, told hello or will be with you in a minute, and waitress walked by 3 times without a word, 2 bartenders sound absolutely NOTHING ever came to greet us, manager walked by twice-not a word.... We left 15 minutes later. This place used to be great. Service is completely unacceptable, food delivery takes 30 minutes, mixed drinks are inconsistent. What else can I say. We used to be regulars, but probably not going back. You can change the name, but the internal workings also need to change to make it successful. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. read more

The LakeHaus - The Dive patio is our happy place!! - Dive Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

Had to try again as my first two visits I didn't care for ...The menu isn't very big but it offers what you would expect for a restaurant/bar we started with chips, salsa and queso the green verde style salsa was good Ana's again as before the queso was good but velveeta was most likely the main ingredient. I ordered the buffalo mild wings and I didn't eat them as they tasted gamey and they were tough and difficult to chew not great tasting .. the ranch was good.. My husband ordered the dive bombs and we sent back the jalepenos were crunchy..:( they were filled with what tasted like the same velveeta queso I guess they haven't learned that your supposed to par boil them first - ordered fries for the queso - they were soft and cold would have been good otherwise - So I will probably not be back this is my 3rd visit each time I have been disappointed- ALTHOUGH it is great place to have a drink and visit with friends on the outside patio overlooking the water! read more

The food is so good. The chef knows what he is doing. The lemon pepper wings are so damn fire. I ordered a ribeye and veggies to go. Let me tell you the butter on that steak gave it the right something cause I must say it was damn good. It's a great place to eat, drink, watch the game, bring your dog and pick from the doggie menu, and just watch the lake on the patio. Oh, let's not forget the VIP area that you can book for private events. Best drink prices in the Denton area. Give it a try and say you saw Nicole's review on Yelp. read more

The LakeHaus - Ribeye, green beans, and Mediterranean rice not pictured - Dive Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

We used to come to the Dive all the time. After the new owner (2020) arrived and they redesigned the menu, we haven't had great experiences. The new menu is very limited and the prices have increased a lot.Today's experience put the final nail in the coffin, however. I ordered the Mean Green Burger with no bun since I can't have Gluten. The menu, nor the sever, informed me that the jalapeños were breaded and fried. The server dropped off my food and quickly left, so when she came back I let her know that I didn't realize the jalapeños were fried and I needed fresh ones. She took my food back to the kitchen to be remade. When I finally got my new burger, my husband was already done eating. I cut into my burger, but it was raw. We had to flag down a different server to let them know of the issue because our server wasn't around much. When our server did come back, we asked for our check for my husband's food and my drink. We never saw the manager and server barely apologized. Beyond the burger issues, the service was poor. The server did not let us know about the upcharge on my husband's side and was not very attentive. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Friendly staff and a great draft beer selection. I was here to see friends and a fun cover band.

Well, we may have found a new regular spot when we are in the Denton area. Found out about this restaurant when Brandon Lea from Flickerstick & Jetta was playing a small show here this this weekend. They have a nice space that they can turn into a private event space, that opens up to be part of the regular dining space when not in use. We tried the veggie cakes, which ended up being bigger than we expected but still very delicious. We also got the salmon avocado toast that came with chips. That for sure is outstanding for a light meal, and the house chips are very good. Also, we got the stuffed avocados w/bruschetta chicken and subbed the rice for fries. For a lighter fair it was so much food and probably one of my new favorite meals. The stuffed avocados come on top of some lettuce and with the extra tomato was enough to be a salad! Fries ended up being a smash hit as we shared them, and broccoli was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We definitely plan on bringing a few family members here when they come to town next time, and look forward to trying a few more of the menu options! read more

Went for the super bowl and they were out of bone in wings, out of most of the drink menu, and the tvs were all out of sync. We went for an event in the event room and the room was super dark along with the unsynced game as well. The menu was super confusing and overpriced for the amount of money it was. The service was okay though. read more

Sam took great care of us from the bloody mary to the desert!! She's very kind and attentive. I'm very happy they let me purchase the entire amazing peach cobbler pie, not just a slice. The Dive is a good place for brunch. read more

This isn't a fair review because I was never seated. I knew from previous visits years ago that it had a patio, and I had recently seen a Facebook post by the owner crowing that he finally had the perfect management team in place. Because of that, I called ahead to check if they let dogs on the patio. The woman who answered the phone, speaking like an auctioneer, said yes so I said I was on my way. (This was a weeknight -- last night, in fact. I have a small beagle that's currently being left alone all day for reasons I won't get into, but all I wanted was to get him out of the house and me some dinner.) I got there and took the walkway around to the back patio. A sign told me dogs had to enter on the other side. I confirmed that with the one waitress working the (almost empty) patio, and walked to the far side, then off the sidewalk and over the grass to the dog entrance, which was also the outdoor patio's tiny smoking section. That's where the waitress' one table was. I chatted with the two customers for several minutes, waiting for the waitress to reappear. Finally, I decided to just take my dog inside the restaurant. The couple agreed that was probably the best idea as they sat at a table full of empty plates. (I have a hunch the woman at that table is the one who left the recent review.) I crossed the rest of the field and went inside. The hostess stand was empty and a sign said wait to be seated. So I waited. And waited. And waited some more. While waiting, I watched the bartender (who looked like Pat McGurn from "Roadhouse," only more greasy, deliver drinks to tables one at a time. Literally carrying a pony glass of whiskey, setting it down, then going back to carry a draught beer to another table. I caught his eye a few times but his hectic pace must have prevented him from coming over. I also got to watch two waitresses come out from the kitchen, hand bills to tables (I couldn't see if those tables still had dirty, empty plates on them, as well), NOT check the rest of their section, and then go back to hang out in the kitchen. I think I made eye contact with one of them. The one person I know I made eye contact with was a customer who was hanging out for the restaurant's "corn hole happy hour." He saw my predicament and he, too, tried to make eye contact with any of the staff during their brief appearances in the dining room but to no avail. During my whole time at the Dive, which I'm guessing was about a half hour, I went from happy anticipation to bemusement to PO'd. I was sorely tempted to just walk myself and my dog through the dining room to the bar and have a seat, but with my wife out of town, I wasn't sure who might be able to bail me out. Instead, I drove back to Corinth, put the dog in the house, and went to Elm Fork Taphouse in Hickory Creek, where I enjoyed a couple of drinks and a full rack of delicious ribs, along with a loaded baked potato and some spicy cowboy beans -- and all served by friendly, attentive staff. I give them 5 stars. read more

Met some friends here for some drinks. Sat on the patio which had tvs and heaters (needed for this night). Our waitress Hope was very tentative and super nice. Drinks were good and food was great. It was getting colder outside so we switched our seating to inside to finish off watching some games. Inside was good "sports" environment with people cheering on teams. Because we went inside our waitress was no longer able to serve us and so we tabbed out with her and had to get drinks from the bar which is standard and not a problem. Ordering from the bar wasn't so easy. I stood in front of the bartender for awhile with no real eye contact that I would be served. After waiting for almost 10 mins with no acknowledgment I just went back to the table. I was in a clear spot to be seen and the bartender was waiving his towel around just chatting away. It wasn't that busy at the bar for me to question service time. After I went back to the table the bartender must've noticed and came to the table asking if we needed anything. At that point we already made the decision to leave. read more

It is sad what has happened to this place. It used to be our go to for a few beers and some bar food, the staff was and still is awesome. We haven't been there in months so we decided to try it again yesterday to see if anything improved. It didn't, it got worse. I won't go into too many specifics but the quality of the food and drinks are terrible. We won't be back anytime in the near future. If the company is reading this, get your act together!! It's a nice place to go and you're screwing it up! read more

Food was OK, Service was pretty rough but in this day and age it's all about patience. Prices were reasonable and servings were large.

First the Pros: -This place is big plenty of seating. -Plenty of parking. -it's a great place to watch a game -The waitstaff is attentive and good The Cons: -The food prices are high -The food is average. I like this place, and would go back again, but I wouldn't go there to eat again. If you wanna place to have a beer and watch a football game, this is a great place. probably one of the best in Denton. They have probably 20 TVs. If you choose to go here, you won't be sorry. read more

This is the place for games or amy social events for sure! The vibe this place gives is amazing, I came by for dinner with my family one night to watch the Texas Rangers game and the vibe was there! Drinks were good too, the prickly pear mule is 10/10!! In the food area, they have a large menu but I would stick to bar-type of foods. The trash can nachos and wings were super good, but the entree tacos I got weren't good at all, I would definitely not get that again. But overall, super cute place and a food vibe! read more

We were greeted immediately and seated. It took about 10 min for our waitress to take our drink order. There were 3 people at the hostess stand but only two people waiting all of the tables in the dinning area. My husband ordered the stuffed avocados and I ordered the ranch hand. Sadly the avocados were not ripe and my husband had to send his plate back because they were rock hard. He said it was an odd combination of cold avocado and warm shredded chicken on top of it. The ranch hand burger itself was a sizable burger the side of fries was so sad, I opted for the sweet potato fries that I had tried and loved before. Sadly this time, there were only about 10 fries. I'm not sure if it was the jalapeño ranch or the pepper jack cheese but the burger was spicy! I was drinking my glass of tea and there was a table spoon in it... not a stirring spoon but an actual short teaspoon in the bottom of my cup. My husband and I asked the server who explained she dropped the spoon in my cup in case I wanted to put sweetener in it. I've never had someone do that and touch the spoon knowing it was fully submerged in the cup. Once she realized she did it, she said she didn't think to tell me or offer me a new glass. Very odd service for sure. read more
