The food and service is always great. We've been several times and will continue to go.

Of course! Here's the revised version without the shrimp mention: Five Stars for Union Bear Brewery! Stopped in for lunch and Union Bear did not disappoint. I had the Reuben sandwich, and it was seriously next level--stacked with tender corned beef, melty Swiss, and just the right kick from the sauerkraut. Easily one of the best I've had in a long time. Big shoutout to our server, Ashley--she was awesome! Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home without hovering. The whole vibe of the place is laid-back but lively, with a great selection of craft beers to round things out. We'll definitely be back--and next time, we're bringing friends. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, great brews, and even better read more

From the moment we walked in this was a truly memorable experience. The soft launch this week prior to their opening next week so we were able to test out some of the menu items. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and provided our "taste testing" options. The place is beautifully renovated with lot of care going into every detail, from the bar area to dining room and even the wallpaper! The staff are all incredible and care about their place, quality and people! My hubby and I had a beer sampler to start and they were all very good! I don't usually care for beer or IPAs at all but these are special! We started with a spicy shrimp appetizer. Crunchy, panko fried shrimp nestled on a bed of creamy, spicy Asian slaw! Yum! For entrees, we chose fish & chips and rigatoni with crumbled Italian sausage. We took bites of each dish. Both were very good! The fish dish comes with fries and another take on slaw. My pasta dish was perfectly cooked with delicious marinara and sausage. I even took 1/2 of that home! We split the lemon blueberry cake topped with blueberry compote and Beth Marie's vanilla ice cream! My oh my, it was all delicious! It was like a bread pudding really. Our dessert drink was an espresso martini. When it opens next week, I hope they take reservations because it's going to be busy! An elevated dining experience in the heart of little 'D! So go there, get some. Life is too short for boring food. And UB is anything but boring! read more

This pub is an absolute gem if you're looking for a cozy spot to unwind with great food and drinks. The warm and inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect place to kick back and relax with friends or enjoy a quiet evening on your own. The food is fantastic--especially the White Pig pizza. It's a perfect balance of flavors, and the crust is just right. I also highly recommend the salad; it was fresh and flavorful, and the pretzel bites were the perfect snack to munch on while enjoying your drink. You really can't go wrong with any of the offerings here. I decided to try the Vanilla Sky mixed drink, and it did not disappoint. It was sweet, smooth, and went down easily. Overall, the drinks and food are very reasonably priced for the quality you get. A wonderful place with a great vibe, delicious food, and drinks, all at an affordable price. I'll definitely be back! read more

I was having a craving for fish and chips and Union Bear delivered. Three pieces of fried cod, fries and a brussel sprout slaw. Crispy hot cod fillets served with malted vinegar, tartar sauce and ketchup. The only thing that didn't impress me was the slaw. I prefer classic cabbage slaw to go with the classic fish and chips. Service was quick and attentive. read more

Union Bear Brewing - Fish and chips - Breweries Near Me - Denton, Texas

Super easy identifying the place. Only downside is the limited gravel parking. I went on a weekend around supper time and the place was packed with a one hour wait time. Luckily, I was about to find seats at the bar. The menu is slightly different from that of the Plano location. The pretzel bites and the beer cheese is also slightly different. The cheese was slightly runnier, compared the the thick consistency at the original location. Lovely ambiance. The service at the bar was superb and the drinks were amazing! Definitely my favorite place of all time! read more

First Lindsay was phenomenal and I'm sure you are not paying her enough. Started out with the pork rinds oh my how tasty!! Had the Honey Pig pizza and absolutely wonderful for my main meal. Let's not forget the beer - a flight of IPA's were good but had to have the West Coast for my full pint and take home the No West Coast. But as with all my reviews don't take my word do yourself a favor and try it out for yourself!! read more

such a lovely place, i've been three times so far and each time has been wonderful. the food is delicious, especially the pizza and the whole restaurant is such a cozy atmosphere and well decorated. the third time however, they got our pizza wrong, forgot a topping and had the wrong cheese but they were super busy so we completely understood, plus having worked in food service, mistakes happen! our server was so kind and understanding about it, and later the manager came over and expressed apologies as well and really, no biggie because mistakes happen, but then decided to pay for our entire meal that night!!!! the staff is truly so kind and generous, and that gesture really made our night. i wish i caught the server and manager's name so i could give them a shoutout. of course we will be coming here again :) read more

Union Bear Brewing - Mint Condition - Breweries Near Me - Denton, Texas

We came here for a wedding weekend welcome dinner and it was such a great experience. The servers were attentive and helpful! At one point I wanted to order shots for the special couple and the server made sure I was able to order exactly what they wanted (salt, lime, chilled etc). We were seated in a private dining room which was also very nice! I loved the light halloween decorations as well! I got the mint condition to drink which was fruity and complimented the gin well. I also ordered the gold root mule which was flavorful and refreshing. Both drinks tasted fresh! We ordered the shrimp appetizer which had a nice light heat and sweet flavor. The fried breading gave it a nice crunch and the slaw had a great neutral flavor to balance out the powerful flavor of the shrimp. We also had the caesar salad which tasted like a classic caesar and the croutons had a great garlic flavor and fun crunch. When ordering the classic pizza we asked for the spicy sauce. This was a great addition! The spicy was very manageable and elevated the pizza just enough! There were plenty of toppings and lots of cheese. A solid pizza to satisfy the craving! read more

Fun place for dinner. The food was excellent and the service was better. We will definitely be back!

Good service and food close to the Denton square. Lots of tables for large groups too. All the drinks and food were very good read more

I have to say I'm a fan of the Plano location but it's always crowded and so often not able to sit at the bar where my wife and I prefer to sit. But as soon as we walked into this new location in Denton we were immediately impressed with the layout and the beautiful Bar. Found two seats pretty easily. Got Great Service from Red and ordered some food all of which was delicious. Only recommendation is for the meat and cheese board which is a much smaller and less expensive than the Plano location that actual slices of cheese are included rather than chilled cheese spread other than that great experience and look forward to returning! read more

We have been here twice and both times food was fantastic and their brews were refreshing! My husband had the ruben sandwich which was hearty and delicious with perfectly seasoned fries! We enjoyed their stout beer too.I had salmon with the most delicious Brussels slaw I ever had in my life, too good!! We will definitely go back for more! We enjoyed the lively ambience and their service was also good! read more

This place was awesome!! If you love beer and food and great service doesn't get much better. We had the Reuben and fish and chips and even our kids food was very good and all came out very quickly. Our server Nolan was fantastic very funny and knowledgeable about the menu sold the beer very well. We will for sure be back!! read more

Food and service were both awesome! The ambiance is great. My wife and I headed to the lounge for a couple drinks while waiting for a table. The wait was not long at all. The service was terrific, drinks were really good, appetizers were great - we overdid it just a little but it was soooo good. We can't wait to go back! read more

I came in by myself. Lady definitely did not want to sit me at a even though I had a lot of tables available. Caesar salad very basic mushrooms a little burnt, Pizza is definitely what they do.

Union Bear Brewing - Cornmeal crusted trout. - Breweries Near Me - Denton, Texas

This place is sooo cool! They have such unique decorations and the outside area has a lot of games to play. I ordered a skinny bear which I believe had vodka and tahini on the side and it was very delicious and packed a punch. We ordered the pretzel bites and they are delicious. It comes with cheese sauce and some strong mustard and they are both good. My husband got the Hawaiian pizza and I think added pepperoni and it was cooked to perfection. I really loved my grown up tenders, and it comes with three sauces which is the best. We would definitely come back,even just for the drinks. read more

Love Union bear for the vibes. The food is ok personally the pizza is the best on the menu for me. Had the wings and they're a little overrated basically fried wings with hot sauce on the side. Plenty of drink options and the chips and queso are solid. read more

First things first. Katie is awesome! She handled our rambunctious group of seven like a champ and we will request one of her tables anytime we return. My hungry belly was so happy with the beer and the food. Both were outstanding. The New England IPA was worthy of a growler fill and the West Coast IPA was very piney and my hungry belly enjoyed it more than the double West Coast IPA. They have plenty of other beer and wine options that are sure to please the masses. The food was well prepared and the fish and chips met the approval of our Scottish guest. The salmon added to the UB bowl was cooked perfectly but wasn't the highlight of the bowl, it was the tofu that was absolutely delicious and that is a hard thing to accomplish. Such a treat in Denton! read more

What a pleasant surprise. We were looking for something different; and we found it! The service was great. Our server was ever so attentive, didn't bother us, but made sure she was available; if I recall her name was Tia. The ambiance is so nice, it's cozy yet roomy; hard to describe, kind of reminded me of the microbreweries I frequented in the Bay Area from long ago. We ordered beer samplers; 4 for $8.00 a bargain. Beers are great. I loved the Amber Ale and the Heffeweizen best. The food: We ordered pretzel bits. Yum, served warm with a house mustard sauce and cheese sauce. We opted just for mustard and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the UB Bowl. It was very large and very tasty. The dressing is amazingly delicious. My husband ordered the Reuben sandwich and said it was very well made; he really enjoyed it. All in all, we will definitely be back; this one is now on our rotation list. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat ended up staying for 5 star experience manager and waiter were phenomenal food was just as good if I ever find myself in Denton again this place will definitely be at the top of my list read more

Love the decor/style! A spacious high top with a view of the bar is my jam. Great selection of house brewed beer and hand selected spirits. Cocktails are perfection- strawberry paper plane? Say less! Beers are fresh and delicious. With expansion, Union Bear has absolutely upped their brewing game. Try the New Zealand Pilsner - so refreshing. Lots of fantastic and varied food options. We will have to explore more. Dry spiced wings - absolutely craveable. The crust on the hand stretched pizza dough is not too thick/doughy and had a perfect chew and crispness. Lemon Blueberries cake is surprisingly light and not overly sweet - fantastically topped with vanilla ice cream. Great spot for any time bites and beverages! I'll be looking for excuses to post up here whenever I can. Excellent service - always refilling my water and I drink a lot of it lol. Staff is making sure everything is on point and the execution is spot on. read more

We love this place. The food is all fantastic, the service is phenomenal, and the ambiance is very Denton-like but in a laid back, welcoming way, not in a hipster way. The first time we ate here, it was super busy but the server was on top of it - checking in every 5-10 minutes but not in an overbearing way, and when there was a mistake with our food, the server and manager both apologized profusely and more than made up for it. read more

Disappointed is the best thing I can say. We have been coming since they opened in Denton. They were great for the first 6 months and now it's miserable. We like to sit at the bar and find ourselves constantly waiting to order anything from drinks to food. Then getting the check is always a challenge. I always see multiple managers hanging out at the bar talking and goofing with the staff while we wait to try and spend money here. The food is still great and I love the beers. But the service has gotten so bad we are probably done here. Used to come 3 days a week. Oh well... read more

Food is incredible, beer is DELICIOUS. Blake was our server and he deserves his own recognition with how amazing he cared for our experience. The facility is very clean and has a pool table and corn hole game set up. There is also a large patio to dine at. Will definitely be returning again and again! read more

Really nice place for Denton. Very popular and food and brews put BJs Denton to shame. BJs used to be our go to, but they have dive bombed the past couple years, which is so sad for us. I changed from 4 stars to 5 stars because of one thing I forgot. I have never experienced a staff so friendly, not just our server, but everyone was fantastic. Having a friendly and caring staff is the most valuable element of a successful business that caters to the public. read more
