Joel Price
8 years agoVery nice laid back place, lot of beer selection in bottles and cans and on my visit there were I think 20 maybe 21 beers on tap. If your wanting great beer great atmosphere and great relaxing conversation then this is a must stop. The pics are of the boards with the beers they had on tap on my visit, enjoyed my time there thanks guys.

9 months agoSuper chill place to have some good beers, and apparently cocktails soon. They had a huge selection of beers on tap and an even bigger selection of cans and bottles. And if all that weren't amazing enough, the shop dog greeted us on our way in and paid several visits to our table.

Edited 8 years agoUnique find in the heart of Denton, TX. Great atmosphere, fabulous beer selection and a chilled out vibe. Went on a Tuesday night and an amazing live jazz band was playing. This is a great place to unwind.

9 years agoTL,DR: musical and cultural events on their location, check website for more details. Different seasonal beers on draft, great ambience for sitting down and chat with friends. Wine is part of the menu. Interesting selection of souvenirs for you to take home (from beer bottle lamps to their signature beers of the season and wines from around the world). A well known location in Denton, this pub has a great selections of drinking beers and wines for you. Cider too! Some of the items might me seasonal but you can get most of their drinks on their souvenirs. No food to order here. If you want to smoke, you can exit to their back alley with drink on hand with no problem. Pets must be kept outside. You can bring your family here to enjoy a great drink and have a taste of Denton. It is worth the stop definitely.
Local and Small
4 years agoYou’ll love Bearded Monk if you love craft beer. Although I’m not a craft beer drinker myself, they always still have great options on draft that cater to my picky beer preferences. I ordered the Guava Good from Oak Highlands Brewery. My husband got the Kolsh from 512 Brewing. And they have a few outdoor picnic tables you can enjoy a draft while soaking in the sun (or staying shaded under the umbrella). You can also order a 6-pack of cans, bomber bottles or even growlers to-go. Plus, if you get a chance to meet Ben, he’s one of the friendliest bar owners in town and actively involved in the community.

5 months agoPlace has lots of character, eclectic little bar to enjoy some craft beer with friendly crowd. Ben, the proprietor is a stand-up guy as well. Pop in if you haven’t been there.

a year agoI looooove Bearded Monk! Constantly rotating taps of solid local beers. Great hangout spot with free (but not dive-bar level) darts. They also have events and comedy shows from time to time. Check it out!

2 years agoIf you’re in Denton and want to snag some beers to go, please check out The Bearded Monk. Ben and his team of Beertenders enjoy and sell beer. You can find some of the latest beers as well as some nostalgic beers you don’t always see in the big box stores. The space seems small on the outside you would expect an antique quaint shop. Then you go in and see an impressive tap wall of crushable beer, rows of beers to purchase, and a cold case. The Bearded Monk has a quirky and lovable attitude and vibe that you want to stay all day. By 5 p.m., scrolling and enjoying my beer, I think I should have been gone a long time ago. SMH. It was so peaceful sitting at a table. If I had my book I would have been in complete bliss! You can bring food from the nearby food Truck or that amazing Mexican restaurant around the corner. I don’t get to Denton that often but when I do; The Bearded Monk is on the list.

3 months agoI don't hesitate a moment when someone suggests meeting up at The Bearded Monk- and I live 71 miles away. In days gone by I live closer. That meant I could pop-in just about anytime which I did. The beer selection is massive, ever revolving and evolving. Yet the list is over shadowed by the staff, who maybe some of the kindest, friendliest people you're likely to encounter. Recently Riley and Ben helped make for a memorable afternoon- thank you.

5 months agoI come here for the friendly staff, good mocktails, ciders, mead, and the golden root ginger beer. I’m allergic to wheat so this is one of the places in town I like to come to regularly because I have lots of options. If you’re allergic to gluten be sure to ask for some of the fancier drinks especially the holiday menus, sometimes some of the bars around here like to garnish things with the forbidden snacks, but they always have plenty of options. Really chill place to hang out and have several drinks. Lots of fun events each month. Life drawing with Artists’ Grove Tattoo and Art Studio is my favorite.
