Riprocks

Just a hop skip and jump from UNT campus, this place has 3 $ doubles and cheap beer with specials almost every day. Good food, it’s not gormet but it’s not terrible or greasy. Four stars. For drinking, the patio is nice and 5stars.

Love the people & staff here!!! Drinks & food are awesome! One of my favorite spots for sure!

One of my favorite bars in Denton. Great atmosphere, and not so loud you can’t hear yourself talk. Interesting variety of shots available, although the bartenders don’t always know how to make them. The chicken tenders they have are always delicious. We’ve managed to avoid the crowds, and while I don’t feel like Riprocks get as much attention as some of the surrounding bars, when it gets packed, it gets PACKED.

Decent place to grab a cold beer and a burger. Friendly staff and super close to UNT campus. Try the fries… crispy and delicious.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been a regular and enjoy it immensely. Food is great, drinks are cheap and good and bar tenders are awesome. Great place to go during the day in Denton.

Rip rocks is your average college bar. Pool tables, darts, shuffle board, etc. A great place to come for birthdays because they have a fun way of choosing which free shot the birthday person gets. Basically the same as lucky Lou’s but they’re owned by the same ppl so what do u expect? Rip rocks is an average bar with really cheap prices. Enjoy your fry st. Experience!

They have a lot of things to do like arcade games and shuffleboard, which is nice. Not sure if I’d spend my whole night here.

I feel like Riprocks has gone down hill in the past 8 months or so. The bar used to be my favorite on Fry Street, but recently they’ve hired a few bartenders that seem to be more interested in taking shots and talking to their friends while working rather than serving their guests. The past few times I’ve gone I’ve been looked at but haven’t been acknowledged. Additionally, they’re $.50 wing special on Sundays has gotten worse each time I’ve gone in the past few months. The wings on this past Sunday were about half the size of a normal chicken wing. I’ve come to enjoy Cool Beans and Lou’s more on Fry Street recently.

Rip rocks is great! It’s always a fun laid back atmosphere. The food is really the best part. I find myself going there at lunch time just to get a burger or chicken sandwich even when I am not drinking. Sometimes they have live music on the front patio or the back patio and the bands they book are usually pretty good. This is my go-​to bar in Denton.

I had some time between classes so I came in for a bite and a beer. World Cup easily viewed on the multiple large screens — check. Righteous bar games such as dart and shuffleboard — check. Ice cold tap beer — check. BLT — sucked! How can you screw up this classic? Giant slices of bread held a ridiculously large amount of mayonnaise, about half a head of lettuce, a tomato, and the most disgusting bacon I have ever had… and I’ve been served some crappy bacon before! I get that you prep your bacon before the lunch shift starts and it hangs out for some time. But to refry it again for heat until it is black is uncalled for. I took my first and only bite and the grease, mayo, and most of my sandwich slid out the back. When the server stopped by to take away a basically uneaten sandwich, I explained what the issues were and I was told «Guess we’ll have to work on that.» WTH!!! I slammed my beer and got the hell outta Dodge. Thank goodness I graduate next month and won’t be anywhere near this place again.

This is one of my favorite bars on fry street. The only thing I have a problem with is the condition of the booths outside. The cushion looks worn out and slides off easily when moving around. Other than that, good drinks for a good deal!

My place to chill and wine back.

This place is great! $ 2.50 for a frozen magarita can’t beat that! My only complaint is that it’s FREEZING cold in the inside. Glad it was 80 degrees outside so we could drink outside otherwise I would had left.
UPDATE
last time I will be coming here again. Walked in and immediately got the ugliest stares from all of the staff. Felt very uncomfortable and I still dont understand why they had sticks up their asses. When I said thank you to the bartender who handed me my drink he just rolled his eyes and didn’t say anything! Wtf? Sorry shitrocks but I had to deduct two stars for the shitty service I received last time. Once yall pull the sticks out of your asses I MIGHT come back.

Riprocks is my asylum! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The people are pretty friendly and treat each other like family. They have good music, cheap drinks, free soda, decent food (decent in general, but really delicious for a bar), and have free wifi & outlets plus USB outlets inside.
It’s usually a really laid back & chill scene during the day. Great place to get some stuff done or meet up with friends for a good time!

I have never had a problem here until last night. I will probably NEVER give Riprocks my business again. Last night was «Bourbon Street on Fry Street» and I was out with a bunch of friends having a good time. We decided to stop in Riprocks and I ordered 2 hurricanes from the outside bar. First of all, $ 5 for a drink on fry street should guarantee that you’re getting a decent drink. This is a college town and $ 5 is usually on the high-​end scale.
When I got all the way back to my seat, my friends told me that my drink looked weird. I tasted it, and it definitely wasn’t the drink I had ordered but instead soapy water with red food coloring. Not ONLY did I not get the drinks I paid for, but that is DISGUSTING and no customer deserves to be treated like that.
So, go ahead and spend your money at Riprocks if you want to deal with asshole bartenders who think that its funny to play pranks on customers. There are 6 others bars on this street and many more just a few blocks away who actually make good drinks and treat their customers right.

Oh Riprocks, this place along with Lucky Lou’s are the prime location for students looking to get a quick drink along fry st. Riprocks has a more laidback atmosphere with a patio out in the back that has open mic nights every monday night, two pool tables a fooseball table along with darts and other games to play.
What’s really cool about this place are the drink specials, like most bars do there are different specials every night and they are all really cheap. On monday nights long islands are 2 bucks… all night long, usually I just get the 3 dollar shots when I come here since I don’t drink beer but the long island was too tempting for me to resist. The bathrooms at this bar are probably going to be the best ones on fry st in terms of stall doors and sheer cleanliness (most bars on fry st do NOT have a door to the stall).Ooo also another interesting tidbit for people who are going to celebrate a birthday crawl here they have plinko game to play to see what kind of shot you’re going to get, that was an experience when I came here for my 21^st.
I just read through the reviews and saw that they do infact serve food, who knew, can’t say I’ve even been to a bar on fry st during the day since its just not a thing that dentonites usually do. I’ll probably check that out at some point and report back.

One of the bar & grills on Fry Street (I think it is actually on Hickory Street, but the area is called Fry Street? I’m learning). Has a nice large outdoor area with an outside bar. Inside has fun and unique items decorating the walls and ceiling. I think I saw a chandelier made of beer taps. There is a lot of seating and many TVs, so it was a great place to watch the game.
The bathrooms were OK for a bar.
They have awesome prices and specials every day. Like most of the other bars I went to on Fry Street, the specials are written on fun, lit up black dry erase boards with bright colors.
They serve food too. We tried the fried pickles which were good but really salty. I guess that makes you drink more beer, I certainly did.
Will be back here when I am in Denton.

Riprocks was my first love on Fry St. Inside has some decent seating but your typical «its gonna be a mob when its busy» bar. My favorite thing about Riprocks is the outdoor seating. Much like Lucky Lou’s this patio area is fantastic in great weather and when the bar isn’t too busy. The bathrooms aren’t much to brag about but thats Fry St. for you.
Now for the reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5: Last year a friend and I had a double birthday party in November… his bday is the day after mine. We started our celebration at the square and later-​ish in the evening headed to Fry for a crawl. By that time is was after midnight and technically not my birthday anymore (it was now my friends birthday) but every bar still gave me my free birthday shot… Except Riprocks. It was seriously like 12:10. But the good thing about Fry is the options so I just traveled elsewhere, and got a free shot.

Although my favorite bar in Denton is Lou’s, Riprocks is not far behind. In fact, unlike Lou’s, Riprocks has bar food. That knocks it up a couple notches in my book.
It’s not as big as Lou’s, but Riprocks is cozy and usually not as busy. So it’s great if you just can’t stand the big crowds at Lou’s. Riprocks is broken up into three areas: the front patio, inside and the patio out back. That helps break up the traffic.
The prices are reasonable and I’ve never met a rude bartender there. The food is really good — also never had a bad experience with that. They have pool tables, darts and a few arcade games, but I’m usually seen in the darts area with a pint and a few friends.
I don’t go there nearly as often as I go to Lou’s, but Riprocks is a great bar as well and sometimes a nice way to change up the night.

Since I am still in my warm haze of my Denton-​filled weekend, I thought I would give a shout out for good ‘ol Riprocks. This was our first stop among many when we came back for homecoming…
This place is super chill with laid back staff and a do-​whateva-​ya-​want atmosphere. People can hang out with their dogs on the pretty big patio (big enough to hold a rugby team after a game) or go inside for cool air in the main bar room. I believe they just put in a beer garden in the back too. Wooty woo (why do I say things like that?)
They have a TV outside and a few inside so it’s a good place to watch the game. Also you should definitely bring your appetite. The food here is very tasty, especially the Turkey Delight. I don’t know what they do to it, but it’s damn good. They also offer a bunch of other better than bar food-​esque items. Burn off those calories with a game of foozball or on another one of their arcade games. Speaking of, we saw a whole crew of Girl Scouts playing foozball. Not old men dresed as girl scouts (that you may actually see on Fry St.) but little 10 year old girls! I wish I would have learned the game so young. I’d be scoring on dudes all night! I of course meant the game…
