Project Spotlight: East Side Denton 20' BillyBox
Project Background
In this blog we highlight the 20’ BillyBox (full-service shipping container bar) we built for East Side Denton, a rustic bar focused on beer, scotch & whiskey with food trucks, a beer garden, and yard games in historic downtown Denton, Texas. This full-service shipping container bar will be used to serve beer on tap, canned/bottled beverages, cocktails, and slushies to the beer garden’s guests all year long. With 10 taps, three service windows, and a walk-in cooler, this unit will be able to handle crowds of all sizes.
Upcycling a shipping container was an important aspect of this project, as the East Side Denton team not only prioritizes sustainability at their venue, but the industrial aesthetic of the BillyBox perfectly fits East Side’s rustic vibe. The two-tone blue paint job really makes the unit “pop”, along with the Denton disco ball added after this unit opened its doors.

Project Scope
ROXBOX coordinated with the client to execute design + build + delivery of a turn-key 20’ BillyBox model. By opting for one of our mobile-classified ROXBOX models, the East Side Denton team chose the fastest, easiest, and cheapest option ROXBOX offers. The ROXBOX team handled every aspect of the project from design & code compliance to build & delivery.
Project Timeline
By choosing a ROXBOX model, the pre-construction timeline for this project was cut to less than a week as we coordinated the colors and some optional upgrades with the client. Production took less than 4 weeks and this unit was delivered + generating revenue within 6 weeks from when this order was taken.
