Union Bear Brewing

Paschall Bar feels like you've discovered something you weren't supposed to find -- in the best…read moreway. 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.

Probably one of the best "Speakeasy" vibes in Texas. Very friendly bar staff and great drink menu…read more The Smoked Old Fashioned hit the spot!

Remember that a forefather of colonial days, Benjamin Franklin, an inventor and member of the Continental Congress, in Washington, D.C. famously said, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

We finally went one of their events and we got there right at 5pm so that we could get a seat. I love that they have something going on almost every day. I even brought a gift and was able to grab an awesome Krampus one! The place was beautifully decorated and designed. We got 2 alcoholic beverages and one tea order (no booze) and with a small tip it was $35.00, somewhere around there. I'm not used to bars and so I didn't know if that's a lot but to me it seemed like a lot. This place is really cool to check out.

I noted that they hold drag shows and game nights on various days of the week. I enjoyed the cocktail I ordered. As a heads up, they can seemingly only make the cocktails on their menu, plus 2 component drinks (I tried to order a Bloody Mary and they didn't have the ingredients for it). Overall, I enjoyed my pitstop here!

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!

Overall- yes. I enjoyed my first visit to d20 tavern…read more My wish is for there to be more seating. Because of how cool of a place it is, it gets JAM PACKED. I wanted to leave and come back another time but my friend insisted we stay and wait. We saw people sharing tables but I really didn't want to impose. Luckily, we made it to the bar where you can sit but it was high traffic area and tight. Thankfully after about an hour a things got less busy and tables started opening up so we secured one. The place doesn't serve food-food - they offer bags of chips for snacking but if you want food- I'd recommend eating elsewhere first then returning but don't come back too late or it may be crowded like tonight. I personally would've loved if they served food there but I think them not serving food probably contributed to why the games were so clean. I appreciated the staff who helped us choose two games especially the gentleman who first helped us pick out a game. Since it was so busy, things felt rushed and a bit chaotic at times but all in all I'd definitely come back- it's only 5$ to play all you can play board games. So bring one and bring all to D20!
