🤍 came here on my drive from Colorado to Dallas because one of my best friends that lived in the area loved this place. Ben was so freaking nice and helpful, super cheerful too! The inside is super cool and the beer selection to go was great. A lot of options on tap and prices are super reasonable. I was so excited that I forgot to tip him and I feel like an a-hole. Sorry ben 😭 def check this place out!!!

After 6 years of patronage, they treat me with the exact same amount of warmth and respect as they did on my very first visit. Definitely the best curated bottle shop in Lil d!

LGBT friendly, has gender nuetral rrs and is an amazing hang out space. Lots of art for sale too! Love them

Most varied and interesting beer selection in Denton, curated by the beat and most friendly staff!

We love the Bearded Monk as a source for craft beer- they have really interesting and tasty brews from all over the country (and some international ones as well), to a degree that is quite hard to find anywhere else.You can find a good number of more generic craft brews from Texas at Total Wine, but you go here if you want to find a 2018 barrel aged variant of something, beers from other states craft brew scene, or microbrews from local businesses.Im particularly impressed by their selection of meads and sours, those rank highly on my list of interests.

TL,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.

Such kind staff! I’ve also tried some amazing beers here that the team at Bearded Monk suggested. Such a great environment and well worth a stop in!

Great selection of local and regional crazy beer. Happy to help customers with recommendations.

Unique 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.

Was greeted extremely rudely, basically ran out of the store by the lady working there. Wouldn’t recommend this place as a tourist to anyone coming through Denton.

Very 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.

Love this place the staff is amazing and very nice and friendly I love their logo

Great beverage options. Thanks for getting me through the pandemic with your great selections.

Great beer selection and outstanding service! Highly recommend this place!

Good place to get the non-traditional brews. Good selection.

If you are looking for good beer in Denton, you are in luck, because its not hard to find. If you want to take some home, The Bearded Monk has the selection, the expertise, and the passion for independent beer that will cover all the bases, even ones you didnt know needed covered. Hands down, one of my favorite beer shops anywhere, and you can tell Ben I said so. Highly recommend this joint if you live/love/laugh beer and also if you are just beer curious. This crew knows all, and they like to share. Salud! 🍻

The absolute best place to get a walking beer and beer to take home.

If you are looking for a great variety of craft beer and an even greater staff to help you with that beer, this is your place! If you know what style beer you like, or want to try something different, The Bearded Monk staff can suggest some great ones. When I first went in a few years ago I was treated so well I kept coming back. They make you feel like family!!

Fantastic selection and even better service. Out go-to hangout in Denton.

Came by for the first time today looking to browse. Although not letting customers inside, Ben was able to put together an amazing curated selection. Will definitely be back.

Stopped by The Bearded Monk - a really cool craft beer shop off the Denton Square. Fun interesting place with tap beer at the back. Monica tried Temptress from a local Garland brewery and found it yummy. We bought the Acheron to take home. All those labels, that is the mens bathroom ceiling.

Super cool collection of beers and beer paraphernalia. Tasty beers on tap as well; I had the coconut milk stout, yum! And when we were there they were making cards for a womens shelter for Valentines day!!♥️

Cool chill spot for delicious local brews and takeaway beer. Caitlen & staff good people. Enjoy One.0 🍻

This place is always great. The staff is super helpful and the selection is varied. They always have things you can’t find anywhere else!

Great beer selection. Lots of bottles. Im a huge fan.

I wish I could give 6 stars. Ben and his staff are the best in the business. I truly cannot say enough great things about the service and juice available from The Bearded Monk.

Great store with a great staff! They’ve done a good job of keeping a great variety of beer rolling in during turbulent times. I drove from flower mound consistently to buy beer here!

This was the most amazing experience! Hello from your friends from Kansas today!!!!We showed up in the drive thru and legit told them we didn’t care and for them to pick out our beers. I’ve never experienced such experts! They were so caring and considerate of what I liked tastes wise. I wish I could come back more often!I appreciate you all so much-Girl in the Cheetah shirt from Wichita

Amazing beer selection and the best bar staff in the area! Ben is the jovial (heavily bearded) owner and extremely personable and all the staff is really helpful when making selections. They also have the pickle beer... if youre into that

Cool spot for hanging out and grabbing some brews

Great customer service and a true craft beer source in Denton Texas!Excellent Positive & Always Brings A Smile With Craft Beer Knowledge That Truly Supports Local Businesses!

My husband I were frequent patrons.. until recently,Someone, keyed my car and put a bearded monk sticker on my car. NOT COOL!!

Bearded Monk is a great place to drink, work, socialize, listen to music, and buy beer. They can help you rediscover old favorites or help find new ones. Drink local and often

Ben is a mensch and an absolutely fabulous community member also he should shotgun the SeaQuench because it’s big and delicious like him.They need to have more stars because I can’t give him enough. Beautiful man, beautiful business, and by business I mean... his business, if you know what I mean. Business. Beautiful. Business.It’s a beautiful business. 1000 stars.Shotgun that business my beautiful business man.

I can honestly say the Bearded Monk is a 5-star establishment for many reasons. When they first opened up, my boyfriend and I went in a couple of times together. Then one time, I came in by myself, and the staff remembered me by name and treated me wonderfully. This is the first beer bar that this ever happened at for me, so naturally, we became regulars.In the over 2 years they have been open, I have been a regular, a bartender for them, a former employee turned regular again, and now that I no longer live in Denton I still make it a point to go there at least once a month.The beer selection is amazing. The knowledge of the staff is amazing. Most importantly, the people in general at the Monk are AMAZING. Thanks to Ben Esely and Ben Webster, my boyfriend and I have a family in Denton that always make us feel like home when we visit.

Excellent service and beer selection, staff is knowledgeable, friendly and full of good recommendations!

This place is just so good. Ben, the owner, is not just one of the friendliest guys in the North Texas Beer Community, he is super knowledgeable and wants to help find you a great beer. Please check them out.

Awesome place!

Great variety of craft beers and wines. Ownership and clientele are awesome. Very political though. They dont seem to have gotten the que that business should stay out of politics and social engineering.

Amazing staff, great atmosphere and very tasty beers! Many options to choose from and the bartenders are very good at recommending the perfect beer by asking you a couple questions about your preferences! I always feel exceptionally welcomed anytime I visit! I highly recommend The Bearded Monk!!

I have cried three times in my life. Once when I was 7, and was hit by a school bus, once when I heard that lil sebastian had died, and once more when I found the life changing establishment that is The Bearded Monk. Stop wasting your life getting beer elsewhere, and go there now.Dear total wine,You are the celery of beer stores. Be the bearded monk, or be nothing.

Love the atmosphere!

Super nice guys, great beer selection.

Great customer experience and excellent selection of beer! Definitely will be returning for more in the future.

Large selection of beer and a wonderful, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend visiting and grabbing beer to go and then looking forward to when we can sit at the bar again :)

Initially this was a cute bar to hang out in with a local vibe. They had some poets I guess that were reciting the works. We sat at the bar and talked with some other people when up comes a man to tell me that the “show” is taking place and that’s why they were there. It would be nice if we could keep it down. Let me just say the bartender clearly was on their side as we asked for the check and walked next door. I get the arts but it’s a bar and a place to socially or maybe the Bearded Monk isn’t.

Want a good beer on draft? No problem. What a case of hard to find beer to go? No problem. Want to buy a candle? They can do that too! Give this place a try, you wont regret it!

Ben and his staff are great people and the beer is great! always lots of selections and great place to spend the evening. I recommend this place to everyone! If youre a local Dentonian and havent been shame on you. If youre not from here and youre looking for a place to start then look no further! A must visit!

Amazing local buisness with lots of craft brew options. Knowledgeable and fantastic staff, a must visit if in Denton!

Did you ever go to a party in college and see a large friend group that was standing in a circle, laughing, and just looking like they were having fun, well the Bearded Monk cant give you those friends, but youll probably meet a few there. If not youll be able to find a delectable beverage that might taste like you met those friends there and had a good time. Great Environment and Greater Staff.

Love the Monk! Enjoy trying different beers 🍻

My favorite place to chill and have a craft beer with my Denton friends. They have a great selection and beautiful people working there.

Great selection. Friendly staff. Drive through service during Covid helps me stay safe while getting my crunk on.

This place is legit!!!!! If youre a fan of good brews this is your place! The owner and staff are super rad as well and they do cool things for the music community!!!!

Excellent quality!

Really friendly staff and good vibes all around with food trucks nearby. Great revolveing tap so you can always try something new.

Great place to get a variety of local beers. Very knowledgeable staff and fun atmosphere

Really friendly and helpful. Great place to pick up some new beers you might not have tried.

Weve met some of our favorite people in all Texas at this location. Best beer selection in all of Denton.

Awesome place! Good beer. Friendly owner and staff. Made me feel like a local even though I was just visiting. Would make this my local if I lived here. Definitely worth checking out.

Great selection, great staff, great service, great room, great patio, great music (hopefully again soon)

Always good beer and good people!

The best place to try new beer in Texas. Always a privilege to visit.

Hands down best for beer. Midway mart is a far away second. The guys here know their stuff.

I’ve never seen so many different kinds of beer. I went up to the counter and I said “I’ll have one of everything”. The nice lady working behind the counter laughed, and I smile, there’s a chemistry building here, we’re deep into each other’s eyes, but then I grab her by the forearm and say, “Hey! That wasn’t a joke. I’ll have one of everything”. The twinkle in her eye quickly merged into fear as she starts pouring beer after beer. I’m drinking them as fast as I can, but the glasses of full beer start to pile up and I don’t even know what to do at this point. So to save face I tell her that I’m going to the bathroom. When I get up I purposely slip and CRACK! My head hits the bar counter so hard I’m out like a light. I wake up to a circle of people around me. One of them helps me up and I forgot what I was doing there in the first place, but I see beer in front of me so I start chugging them down. 5/5 great place to get cool and different beer.

Bearded Monk is likely numero uno in bottle shops North of DFW, if not the entire metroplex (I’ve not costed them all so I can’t rightly say). Ben and crew know their beers and love sharing knowledge and the craft with anyone willing to pause a moment in this crazy life and have a chat.Excellent recommendations, excellent selection, superb hospitality. Do not pass them up!

Always great selections and really good staff to help you find what you want.

This aint your grandpas brewpub. Mine either, my Grandpa works at a motorcycle shop. My other Grandpa still owns a restaurant but he ran out on our grandma a couple decades ago to marry some young heathen he claimed he was going to convert to Christianity, my memories of that period are hazy at best but I sharply remember that bizarre aspect of the whole family crisis.The point is, your grandparent simply does not own this establishment. Prove me wrong, I bet you cant even prove if the own of this place has a son, let alone a grandchild. I am not a liar and if proven a fool on this matter I will take this review.

This is an amazing local bar. The owner/bar tender was friendly, vibrant and full of life. He made every customer feel welcomed and like they were an old friend. I would highly recommend this place to anyone local or passing through. It’s a great representation of the local scene in Denon, TX!Florida sends it’s love!

One of the best places in Denton for a brew.The selection is always rotating making it new each time, and the staff really know their stuff. They’re going to serve you what they know you’d like and they’re going to make sure that they chose correct for you. The owners are awesome people. The bar tenders are never a bad time. The atmosphere is always great because they always have things going on.100% recommend

Dig the vibe, very open setup, retail items mixed in well. Love that you can grab a beer to drink, or to go if you need. Also their open mic night on Sundays is always a good time if youre looking for a laugh or some good tunes.

Get your eclectic craft beer here!

Awesome staff and beer on tap! It is a pretty cool place with some cool stuff! I would recommend trying this place out. WARNING: Parking however in this area can be tricky.

A unique craft beer bottle shop, there is something for ever beer lover here. Packaged beer to go, beer on draft, great atmosphere and stellar service. In addition, there are some great craft beer accessories for sale like growlers, crates, coasters, etc, all locally made for the craft beer lover in your life. A real gem to stop in for a quick purchase or to hang out for an evening.

The friendliest staff in all of Denton. They have an incredible selection of beers and they will explain each to you at length. You can sample until you find your perfect pint or growler. Refined taste without a snobbish atmosphere. You will be super comfortable while consuming copious quantities of delicious brew-skis.

Great place. Great guys. Great selection. Great recommendations.Went here to get some wedding planning (fun, right?) out of the way with the fiancé. Had a two delicious beers that Ive never tried before which is always a treat. Other places in town have a larger selection on draft but give me quality over quantity any day!Their take home selection rivals places likes Midway Mart.I think the best part is the people though. Ben and his crew are really personable and helpful, theyre not pushy at all, and they actually try to connect with and welcome every guest that comes through their door.Support this place!

The Bearded Monk is generous in helping local artists display their work. My husband & I attended the opening night of our son-in-laws art show there. We enjoyed a fun evening hanging out with our kids while some young local jazz musicians entertained everyone with their lively music.

I love this place! Excellent beer selection and super cool staff!

The staffs gift for taste governs the wide selection, rather than whats most popular. They are knowledgeable and happy to share what they know. Rarely, have I left with just a great beer, but a greater understanding of what I am drinking. That, coupled with a wholesome happy feeling, due to the friendly nature of the entire staff and trademark denton good vibes (somehow magnified!). Truly a beer drinkers paradise and a gem of the craft beer community. Cheers!

It was good. Great staff. Only downside is almost no parking. Really like 5 spots maybe. It was cool place though

An awesome bar/alcohol dispensary, they are kind if hidden away, but its definitely worth the visit. They have a good selection of beers Ive never heard of, but the staff is totally willing to help you pick something out if you ask.Also, they have a ton of events going on all the time.Also also, they have a little gacha dispenser for $.50 that gives you a polyhedral dice! Super dope!

This is mostly a growler-filling station for me, but its also a really great bar. The inside is chill, with a few couches and a half dozen four-top tables. Theres a smattering of board games for your amusement too.They also run a bottled/canned beer store inside, with some very eclectic choices. Theres rare stuff here I havent seen anywhere else (except Midway).The keg selection is WIDE, and constantly rotating. Every time I go the choices are completely different than the last time. While I love the variety, Its a little bothersome that I cant reliably find my favorites. Instead, I try something new & maybe find a new favorite.

Been here a few times with a buddy of mine who almost lives there lol and its always fun. They have things like comedy and musicians sometimes or special drink releases. There are plenty of beers on tap to choose from or canned and bottled if you prefer that. Staff has always been friendly but they know how to joke to which nice and appreciated. You can find many flavors to take with you as well depending on what you like. Im sure Ill be back soon.

Great growler bar, they have a ton of craft beer and rotating beers on tap. The people working here are helpful and happy to help you out.

This is the best bar in Denton! Its chill and relaxed. Very friendly bar staff. They are very knowledgeable about the beer they sell. I love that I can go in and buy a bottle to take home, or drink something off of the draft wall, or fill a growler. Its the place to be! If you havent checked them out, you should!

This is a home away from home. Great Owner, great beer great people!

Great selection of craft beer and good people too. More of a hangout vibe than another seedy bar. Ben also supports a lot of charitable causes with his events so they give back to the community too.

The Bearded Monk is my happy place.

Best bottle shop in the area. If youre looking for good beer, this is the place. Theyve got it all and they know how to point you in the right direction and introduce you to some things you might never have tried.

This was a pleasant surprise. I just happened to be in the area for other reasons when I spotted The Bearded Monk and decided to drop in. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the beer selection here was great. Definitely worth stopping by if youre in the area and need some good beer to take home.

The Bearded Monk is an excellent Craft Beer house. The staff is incredibly friendly. The shelves and items on tap are an excellent array of artisan ales. Also the staff strives to hold numerous exciting events. An fun and exciting place.

Excellent beer selection, and the staff is absolutely amazing!

If I could describe The Bearded Monk in one word it would be HOME.

This place is awesome, great atmosphere and beer. They also have ciders in case you are gluten free.

Awesome place, we played there and they were super cool about it. If you’re starting a band, it’s a good place to get your feet wet.

Great beer selection and a small selection of kegs to fill growlers. Always an interesting mix. The folks that work there know their beers very well and can make wonderful suggestions. I wish they had a location right on the square so theyd get more traffic.

Love the beer and the owner Ben is always a huge help. If youre not sure what to get for yourself or a gift, his knowledge is impeccable. The rest of the staff is always great too! Never a bad time at The Bearded Monk.

Want to sit and have a pint? Order a growler to go? Or, grab a rare bottle for your next share? The Monk has you covered. Great location just off the square, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable staff, and a really laid back, chill atmosphere.

Excellent selection with a very knowledgeable staff to help customers find new beers they would like. Love the regular events, be sure to bring quarters if youre a tabletop gaming fan, theres a dice dispenser inside!

Really cool place. Craft Beers Galore!! Want a place to chill and enjoy a good beer....this is the place!!
