    Fraddy
    Sue C.

    What a great place! I had not been to Union Bear since visiting their Frisco location several years ago, and I am happy to say it is still a fantastic spot for drinks, food, and a fun atmosphere. We started at the bar as our reserved table wasn't ready yet. My husband already knew what beer he wanted but I was on the fence. I decided to try one of the frozen cocktails, but one was a little too sour and the other was a bit too sweet. The bartender suggested mixing the two together into what they called a "Fraddy," and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and helpful, which is something that seems harder and harder to find these days. They have TVs throughout the restaurant, making it a great place to catch a game, and we especially enjoyed watching the World Cup there. The outdoor patio is spacious and inviting, and I also appreciated that they accept reservations. Bella was an outstanding server who made excellent recommendations for our meal. The pizza was very tasty, although it was slightly undercooked for our preference. We also ordered a small Caesar salad, which was good but a little smaller than expected, so we will definitely order the large next time. Overall, we had a great experience and will absolutely be back!

    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.

    We came here for my brother's 21st birthday. We had the beer flight; our server helped us choose the beers and we really liked everything we tried. The food was also very good, no complaints there. Our server was attentive. It was a nice and laid-back place for us to drink and eat and talk.

    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
    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

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.

    A Truly Special Birthday Experience…read more We visited this restaurant to celebrate my son's 16th birthday with a large table of nine, and it turned out to be an incredibly special experience. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every steak was cooked to perfection, and every one of the boys said it was one of the best meals they had ever had. The Wagyu steak was particularly memorable--one of the boys actually had tears in his eyes because of how incredible it tasted! The service was exceptional as well. The owner Rick personally came out to greet our table, which made the evening feel very personal and welcoming. The highlight for the boys was when Chef Anton came out with a special palate cleanser featuring house-made sorbet paired with goat cheese and pistachios. It was such a thoughtful and unique touch. The boys were so impressed with Chef Anton that they asked to take a picture with him afterward. From the incredible food to the warm hospitality and those unexpected special touches, this was so much more than just a dinner. It was a memorable experience that made my son's 16th birthday truly special. We are so grateful and will definitely be back!

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.

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.
