Discover Denton Texas

Denton is proud to be a certified Brew City, distinguishing the city as a premier craft beer tourism destination in Texas! The area is quickly growing as a tasting and touring hot-spot if you're a lover of beer, wine, and spirits. Some locations offer behind-the-scenes brewery, winery, or distillery tours and others offer a tasting room where you can sip on the delicious samples. Come see what we have on tap for you!

Denton is widely known for having beautiful outdoor works of art: our murals! These spots are as large as a building or as small as a window and are created by a variety of local artists.

Jazz, country, blues, metal, and rock and roll can all be found here, all performed by talented local musicians and touring bands from around the country. There’s live music just about every night, and the one-of-a-kind venues spread throughout town are some of the best in the Dallas and Fort Worth Area. Local businesses like Dan’s Silver Leaf regularly display local music talent in a city nationally recognized as a Music Friendly Community by the Texas Music Office, the Office of the Governor’s “Music-Friendly Communities” certification program. Discover why Denton is an awesome place for live music, then make your way here to experience it all for yourself.

Denton’s Downtown Square, or The Square as it is known locally, is the social, artistic, and cultural hub of Denton. Shops, restaurants, bars, event venues, and more line the streets and invite visitors to take part in the vibrant Denton environment. Historic architecture has been preserved or restored, with most of the area holding a place on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the square also serves as a reminder of Denton County’s history. It is home to the Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum as well as John B. Denton’s grave. Lectures, exhibits, and community organized events are scheduled throughout the year, keeping this local gem an active site for experiencing the past. The best part about the Downtown Square is that everything in Denton seems to revolve around it: art, music, history and more touch every corner. Murals and sculptures decorate walls and walkways, while buskers entertain pedestrians as they stroll in and out of stores, museums, galleries, and restaurants. Most days, scores of people can be found enjoying a picnic or a sweet treat from a local ice cream shop on the Courthouse-on-the-Square lawn, taking in the sights and sounds of our beloved city.

Life calls for a little kick-back every now and again. We live for those times. Whether you’re looking for a mid-week happy hour, updated old school date night, or Friday night out with the family, we know just the place. Choose Andy B's to get started.
