Den10, the Texas bar and grill based in Flower Mound, opened its second location in Denton in late September, a restaurant representative confirmed.
Den10 offers traditional American cuisine complete with gourmet burgers, wings and nachos. There is also a full bar.
The lounge’s “Infus'd” chicken is featured throughout the menu. The chicken is marinated in one of five flavors for 24 hours, which allows it to be juicy and served fast, according to the website.
The business moved into the location formerly occupied by Giuseppe's, which closed after 30 years in the community.

The mission of Haywire is to “Inspire the true Texan in everyone,” Haywire Managing Partner Jamie Johnson said.
“We welcome anyone—from your boots to your stilettos,” Johnson said of the three-story restaurant located in Legacy West. “You could have a business or casual dinner or just meet for a cocktail.”
Haywire, a restaurant concept by Dallas-headquartered FB [Front Burner] Society, opened its Plano location in 2017.
Haywire Chef Skyler Gauthier said the menu celebrates Texas cuisine through dishes inspired by the state’s diverse culinary influences, including barbecue, Mexican and German food.
“Our ethos, when it comes to food, is approachable yet unique,” Gauthier said. “To call yourself Texas cuisine is to really embrace all the different cultures that are embedded in Texas culture.”
