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.

My first time here and love it. The bartender is amazing, drinks are flowing and the music by Kim Carson is FABULOUS

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.

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.

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.

Ask the Community - Albert Icehouse & Dancehall

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.

Driving up to the venue, it was nice, but it didn't have quite the "wow" factor that the online photos and videos had led us to expect but it was the customer service that was the biggest disappointment of our visit. We had a scheduled appointment to tour the venue with a staff member. Throughout our entire meeting, she remained seated and wore sunglasses the majority of time. She never offered to walk us through the property or show us the different areas of the event space. Although she had printed pricing sheets sitting in front of her, she initially told us that all of the pricing was available online. While that is true, my daughter eventually had to ask for one of the printed sheets that was already on the table. Since we are just beginning the planning process and had not yet selected a wedding date, we understood that an exact quote could not be provided. However, that should not have prevented us from receiving a proper tour of the venue and learning more about what it has to offer. I eventually asked if I could walk to the ceremony area in the back of the property. The GlassHouse Staff Member said I could, but she did not accompany me or provide any information about the space. As I walked through the ceremony area, I realized it simply wasn't the atmosphere or experience we were looking for. We drove a considerable distance specifically to tour this venue, so the lack of engagement and hospitality was disappointing. A venue tour should leave prospective clients excited and inspired. Instead, we left feeling like our appointment was an inconvenience. During our conversation, the staff member also mentioned that the venue is already booking events into 2028. Congratulations on your success--that certainly speaks to the venue's popularity. However, every prospective client deserves the same level of attention and professionalism, regardless of where they are in their planning journey. Based on our experience, this is not the venue we will be choosing for our daughter's wedding/reception.

Willem's pleasant, calm nature made him incredibly easy to work with. Every request I made was met with a willingness to help. We arrived outside the venue's gate at 3:15 a.m., and when Willem arrived around 5:30 a.m., he called and welcomed us in much earlier than expected. That consideration gave us a generous head start on unloading and setting up. As I got to work, so did Willem. Watching him transform an empty barn into a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception space was impressive. He was a one-man show, and his experience and attention to detail spoke volumes. I believe he was just as impressed with our entertainment setup as I was with his work preparing the venue. What stood out most was that I never felt rushed--not during setup or while packing up after the celebration. Willem was hospitable and accommodating throughout the day, extending that same care to the other vendors, the Bride & Groom, and their guests. The ranch itself is beautiful, with breathtaking scenery and animals that add to its charm. It is a memorable setting for a wedding. A few days later, during my October 7 dental appointment, I shared our experience with my dentist and dental assistant. As it turned out, the dental assistant had gotten married at King River Ranch three and a half years earlier. Her response was simple: she loved King River Ranch. It was wonderful to hear that her experience as a bride reflected the same appreciation we felt as vendors. We wholeheartedly recommend King River Ranch to anyone looking for a beautiful venue and caring, accommodating people who help make a wedding truly memorable. Thank you, Willem Hahn and King River Ranch, for your hospitality and for making us feel so welcome. Charlie "DJ RobFlex" & Martha Robinson N2IT Entertainment LLC

We got married here last week on September 12, 2015. You cannot beat the patio and the view of the…read moreAustin skyline. If you want to get married here, you have to be very DIY because the clubhouse itself is not a wedding venue. It belongs to the city and is just a venue for you to do what you please. Many people may be turned off by this, but I loved the freedom to hire whoever I wanted. We hired Pascal's Catering, and they were above and beyond awesome. I can't rave about them enough. I wrote a separate review about them. The site itself includes the clubhouse, which has a kitchen and male and female restrooms, and the patio. The clubhouse provides a lot of tables and chairs, if you want specific numbers, look on the website. We got married inside the clubhouse, and had the reception on the patio. The total number of guests was about 75, and that is an extremely comfortable number for the venue. It's not the greatest venue for huge weddings due to limited space. The buffet was set up inside the clubhouse after the ceremony ended. A huge warning ... the clubhouse is not air conditioned. Lucky for us the temperature dropped into the 80's on our wedding day, and so we did not have an issue with this. But, people have rented swamp coolers and AC units etc for those hot summer days, I've heard. Booking the clubhouse was a bit of a pain. You can book it first come first serve 6 months in advance. Other than that, there's a lottery system if you want to book 10 months out. We did the first come first serve ordeal. There were a handful of dates in Sept that hadn't been reserved already by the lottery system. So, on the first Monday of each month, you are able to show up at COA office and reserve your venue on a first come first serve basis for the 6th month out. For example, I wanted Sept 12, so I showed up on the first Monday of March 2015 and stood in line to book the date. I believe the office opens at 8 am, and I showed up at 6:30 am to wait in line. Other people had the same idea and came early to wait in line for their dates as well. Luckily for all of us in line, we all wanted different dates :) A couple that showed up after me wanted the same date. They showed up at 8:00 AM when they thought the office was opening, not anticipating that people would show up earlier. They were disappointed. I felt terrible for them, but excited for us! Moral of the story is, if you can, show up early and wait in line if you REALLY want this venue. I didn't have any back ups, and I was wiling to be flexible on the dates as long as I got the venue. The building is very rustic, and we received SO many compliments on the venue and the view of the Austin skyline. The clubhouse is extremely affordable to rent, and you get your deposit back if you don't do any damage. They have extremely detailed information on their website. I cannot recommend this place enough!

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!
