The BYOF (food) setup makes it easy to hang out, try something new, and take a growler home before you leave. Rarely is there a tap empty, this watering hole sets the bar for the rest of the list.
Union Bear Brewing Company (Plano / Frisco Area)
Union Bear has grown into multiple locations across North Texas, with all of their beer brewed locally in Denton. It’s not a small independent spot, but they keep things local with their brewing and offer a full menu, solid happy hour, and a patio that’s hard to beat.
Rollertown Beerworks (Frisco)
What used to be a drive to Celina is now right in downtown Frisco. Rollertown, founded by Jonathan Rogers, The Ben & Skin Show crew, and backed by Dirk Nowitzki, serves fresh local beer including their standout Big German Kölsch in a lively, local setting.
Three Empires Brewing (Frisco)
This is a true locally owned nano brewery right in Frisco. Everything is brewed in small batches, giving them room to experiment and keep things interesting. The space is smaller, more personal, and built around the local community.
TUPPS Brewery (McKinney)
TUPPS has grown into one of the most well-known breweries in North Texas, and their McKinney location feels more like a full destination. With a massive beer hall, large outdoor yard, and plenty of space for groups, it’s ideal for weekends or meetups.
Armor Brewing (Allen)
Armor Brewing blends craft beer with a full kitchen, something a lot of breweries don’t offer. The space leans more upscale sports bar, with house beers, cocktails, and a patio setup that includes yard games and room to hang out.
Black Hawk Brewery (Prosper)
This veteran-owned brewery brings strong community energy with a rotating selection of craft beers plus wine and liquor options. The rooftop alone makes it worth the visit, especially in good weather.
