Denton
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Denton, Texas
Denton punches well above its weight as a live-music town, built on the University of North Texas's nationally respected jazz program and a long-running scene of bars and venues around the historic downtown Square and Fry Street. BarFinder lists 81 venues here, led by classic bars and sports bars, with a solid run of pubs, cocktail bars, and breweries behind them - real local spots like Public House and Hickory Street Lounge capture that mix of college-town bar and live-music venue. It's a scene that draws as much on UNT's music reputation as on its size as a North Texas college town.
