The Bayless-Selby House Museum resides in the Denton County Historical Park, just south of downtown Denton. The walls of this Victorian style house museum tell the story of life in Denton at the turn-of-the-century. The story of Denton County prior to 1908 is told through the music room with the E. Gabler & Bro. grand piano, the elegantly set dining room table, and the majesty of the Eastlake-style adult bedroom suite. From the moment visitors step on the garden grounds or the wrap around porch, the walls of the Bayless-Selby House museum begin their story. The wrap around porch is also home to a free little library - another fun way to engage with visitors and residents.

A true Texas Music icon in itself, Dan’s Silverleaf (formerly Dan’s Bar) has put Denton on the map for almost a decade with a refreshingly super-mellow atmosphere, star studded rock, jazz, blues and country acts from around the state and the world, and a sound system equation to be envied by even the most popular clubs in the DFW area. This club is a completely unique experience and destined to become a legendary venue in the annals of Texas music.
Nestled into a faded commercial strip tucked into a side street on Denton’s downtown square, Vinyl Lounge is easy to miss. The unassuming red and blue sign over the door is no indication of what patrons can expect when they step inside Denton’s newest bar, which is anything but understated. Psychedelic pinks, blues and yellows greet guests as they enter the decked-out 2,700-square-foot record bar. A silver disco ball hangs over the neon furnishings and circular white tables. Staff DJ Jordan spins Tears for Fears’ “Shout” from a booth nestled against an expansive library that houses more than 1,600 vinyl records. Offering signature cocktails like “Bootsie Collins” and “The Fab Four,” Vinyl Lounge embraces the distinctive and eclectic. Much of Vinyl Lounge’s atmosphere is a nod to retro. Owner Tom Martin, 53, has long been a fan of the British Invasion that fueled the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
