    My husband and I spent a few hours at Albert Icehouse a few weeks ago when we were in the area, and I'm so glad we stopped by. Live music, gorgeous live oak trees, classic bar options (lots of Texas beers), good service, a food truck, clean bathrooms, space to run and play? What's not to love? Albert Icehouse is one of those classic Texas spots - nothing fancy, but absolutely the best way to spend a beautiful afternoon. And only in Texas could a late December day (we were there on December 31!!!) be so beautiful that a day under the trees listening to live music with some beer is all I wanted. Check out their live music calendar and stop by for some music, beer, and R&R. I was home in Texas for about 8 days and the hours we were spent at Albert Icehouse were definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

    After a day of drinking wine, it was time to switch over to beer. One this Sunday afternoon, it was a perfect spring day to sit under huge oak trees and listen to some live music. The picnic tables were perfect and we really enjoyed the vibe of this little Icehouse. It was hard to get a drink on this busy day with bartenders rotating out and more motorcycle crews showing up. If you're looking for a local hangout away from the tourist crowds, then this place is for you!

    Made a stop here as part of the TX Wino Tour. It's a quaint little outdoor honky tonk with live music a little dancing and a stocked bar. They have room for food trucks so you can order food while you listen to live music. I assume the ambience at night is amazing because lights are strung up in the trees. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. It fun, laid back and family friendly. Several families had their little ones running around.

    This icehouse/dancehall is super cute. It is the definition of Texas. Located in Albert, Texas. It is near all the wineries in Fredericksburg. We went on a Saturday mid day. They had live music in the patio. The patio is shaded by beautiful trees. The bar has beer and cocktails. They also have cider. Prices aren't bad. We got two beers for $7.50. They have clean bathrooms and parking is available on site. Even on a hot day, the shade keeps you cool. The day we went they had a food truck serving chicken sandwiches. They also had a great singer by the name of Colleen Miller.

    Great roadside tavern with an open-air patio and picnic table seating under an enormous live oak. Food truck Cowboy Cantina is located on site (separate, more limited hours). I love sitting at the bar, sipping a drink and enjoying the cross breeze flowing through the open "windows" (no glass or screens). Limited but good selection of local draft beers and ciders, plus Texas wines and a full bar (including whisky from the Garrison Brothers distillery down the road). Place can get overrun with motorcyclists on summer Saturdays, but on most other days is pretty chill. There's a large dance hall on the property, which I think is open on weekend nights. There may be free live music when you visit - check their website for the schedule. Worth a stop!

    Great people, great vibe. A must stop in Texas Hill County. I didn't eat today, but the food truck I great

    I really love this little icehouse. It's the perfect spot to grab a few beers and enjoy a more laid back vibe when in the Fredericksburg area. They have had a food truck every time we've gone. The Saturday we went they had live music playing. The outside area is amazing. They have a massive oak tree that is perfect to sit under and enjoy your drinks. They have picnic tables to sit at, and outdoor games such as cornhole to play. They have a large restroom with multiple stalls outside as well. This place is a MUST when we are in the stonewall area. We usually go to narrowpath for some wine, then come here for lunch and some beers and a more casual vibe.

    Great place to sit and have a beer. We went during afternoon so didn't take in the dance hall but sitting under the beautiful live oak and listening to the live music was just what the doctor ordered. The vibe is super chill. They do have a full bar but don't expect fancy cocktails. Keep it simple and you will enjoy.

    Cool venue in Albert, Texas so close to Hye, Texas. We hung out at Garrison Brothers Distillery and then went to Albert Ice House to see some live music in the dance. There are no snacks to eat unless the food truck is open and they have a limited selection. Family friendly.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes. It's an outdoor venue and the owners dog roams the property while you are there. There were one or two other dogs there as well. There isn't a space for them to be off leash but definitely let and child friendly.

    I cannot adequately explain how amazing our wedding celebration was at Zilker Park Clubhouse!! I'm…read moreholding a star since we received an email saying we got our deposit back Aug 12th and I still haven't seen the funds in my account- but besides that issue it's definitely got a 5 star rating! We actually got married a month prior in MA, but needed to celebrate the occasion with all our friends who live here with us in TX. This event space was perfect for a party on a budget. The view- I mean, come ON, was just incredible, and the backdrop for everyone's photos! People could not stop talking about how phenomenal it was. The process of getting the place was a bit tricky, as I could not navigate their government website to select the date and missed the cut-off time before having to do the lottery. Luckily, not a lot of people were begging for dates in August as the venue does not have air conditioning- so the heat was a bit brutal (but that's Texas!)- but we got it no problem! I ended up calling and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Speaking of air conditioning- or lack-there-of- we ended up renting some swamp coolers (huge cooling fans that run off of ice- but a LOT of ice!!) to help with the heat. There are ceiling fans and a few industrial fans included- but those don't help too much in August! I had a hard time figuring out what exactly we needed- so I'm going to add a quick "plug" for Preferred Climate Solutions our of Hutto, TX. They worked ZPC before and knew how to set things up. Brett even had an extra swamp cooler from an earlier event he let us use. Moving on- because this place doesn't require use of specific vendors- it made it that much affordable. We hired Slab BBQ to cater and Pixster photo booth for fun. For drinks, we filled out the necessary paperwork (some cheap $10ish permit? I can't quite remember) and we're able to just bring in a few kegs and boxes of wine from PartyBarn. Everything went off without a hitch! Good to note- the place provides a bunch of tables. Two huge round ones, a few smaller round and rectangle ones, and some nice cocktail tables we used on the patio. (The cocktail tables and one rectangular were good enough condition to go without tablecloths- the rest require coverings.) For lighting- it was definitely important to us to get string lights on the patio. I realized last minute that getting a few hundred feet of lights was going to be trickier than I initially thought- since I had to consider ones that connected and could manage the power of 300 ft of lights. I used Americanpartylights.com- it worked out great! They included zip ties which is important since it's against the park rules to use tape (holds better anyways.) I found a great diagram of ZPC patio for the light arrangements and measurements (photo included.) It was a perfect celebration and I HIGHLY recommend this space for any event! It has such a cool vibe even without decorations, your set up can be minimal and still look amazing. Plus... that VIEW!

I really had no idea what to expect but it turned into a small piece of Texas locked in time to a wonderful rustic place the oozed hill country and rustic charm. Beers were $6 a piece which was a bit of a drag but everything else was pretty in line with what you would expect. When I went their were two food trucks and Luckenbach's own kitchen where you could purchase food to eat. We tried Luckenbach's kitchen and the food was awesome. I had an excellent hamburger called "the tex" and my wife had a jalapeno cheese sausage taco. We both shared some loaded fries. Our food was ridiculously good. All day they had pretty decent live music. The lone child we had with us enjoyed the outdoor games available. There was literally something for everyone and I would highly recommend checking this off your bucket list.

"These days Luckenbach Texas is, to paraphrase John Steinbeck, a "State of Mind" - A Texas state of mind, where you can kick back, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life--like a step back in time." You can purchase tickets online or head over to the ticket booth if it isn't a sold out show. The monthly lineup usually includes your favorite local artists & in demand bands, special events, festivals & free shows! Even though Waylon & Willie's Luckenbach Texas wasn't actually based on the dance hall, their iconic lyrics did help make it famous. So turn up the volume and get Back to the Basics of Love as you make the trip out to see a show! You can even arrange a Willie Nelson tour to learn about the historic property If you really do love the Lone Star State, you might want to consider having your wedding or anniversary celebration at Luckenbach!
