The GreenHouse Restaurant & Bar

Jazz music is one of the biggest exports from The University of North Texas in Denton, which has jazz musicians coming from all over the world to study at the school's esteemed program. And when they're not fine-tuning their craft, students congregate at The Green House for strong drinks and, well, more jazz. On Thursdays, one of the most popular nights at the Denton restaurant and bar, UNT's best set up their instruments for improvisational performances that last until closing time. But even if you can't carry a tune in a bucket, The Green House offers a chance to rub elbows with people who can.
