Stage for kareoke
Sharyn L.

$21 for a burger and fries (served in takeout containers with plastic ware) is a little expensive for the location. Those are DC/NYC prices, not VA prices. The burger was decent but the fries were not crispy. $7 beers are also a tad on the pricey side, though my husband liked his saison and my nut brown ale was good. I wasn't a huge fan of the wit beer (my usual go to) as it was a bit bland. Happy hour on Friday from 4-6:30 got us $2 off beers, which was a nice touch (caveat: there were no prices on the beer menu which is my pet peeve and there was no menu/signage about happy hour which was annoying). They have a great outdoor patio area overlooking the water, so the ambience is nice. Wait staff was also super friendly. If you like karaoke, this is the place for you.

My first night into town, it was Monday night bingo was fun and fabulous! Not sure of the schedule if it is often! But, I will find out!

Excellent music, at any given afternoon or evening is advertised in advance. This past weekend was a local favorite. The band was very good. There was a good crowd. Everyone had a great time. Their food is amazing the flatbread pizzas, the burgers, and the chicken wings all are fairly priced and Very good. Ice House offers several different happenings throughout the month bingo on select Monday nights, next I believe is 31 March. Along with several other events there's a trivia night and several other happenings to keep people entertained and to bring in business, the owners are amazing friendly people, Chuck and Susan. The brewed beers done in house, are a wide variety of choices. They also offer some select red, white wine, and Prosecco. There's a seltzer with different flavoring's that I never knew a brewpub could make, but they are very good And popular The view on the water is amazing with nightly sunsets weather permitting. There's also a lot of outdoor seating and fire pits on cooler evenings. Can't wait for summertime. This will be a lovely spot for summertime fun. Visitors and local people that live in the area are all very friendly.

Love this cute place, mom (Tracy) and daughter duo so funny and friendly. This place opened in January and almost everything either repurposed or handmade. Place closes at 9/10 p like majority of the area, they have excellent food. Salmon my boyfriend got was perfectly cooked and not dry and the flatbread so cheesy and delicious, Leroy the chef came and asked us how everything was. I did go during lunch and it was slow but they have events almost every night. Only weird thing is parking there is limited but otherwise just see and taste.

So many things to do!  LOVE it

So fun! Amazing good local and all kinds of events. They do growler and baby growler pours in Sundays until 2:30pm. Please see Tracy ( hope I spelled it correctly). She's amazing and will totally take care of you!

My husband and I came to Colonial Beach for our Anniversary weekend. Went to every restaurant/bar/winery/brewery we could fit into three days. Ice House by far had the best ambience, service, beer selection, and food selection. They also had trivia nights and live music. Very seldom do you see the owner of an establishment engaging with its customers, but we came here several times and was greeted by the owner multiple times. This place gets it and others should follow suit!

Great brewery. Tastefully decorated for that location. Owners greet all customers - locals and visitors. Food was excellent. They had a burger on the special menu with Brie and apricot jam. Truly outstanding. The taste of the meat was high quality and cooked perfectly. Tried the nachos another visit and was satisfied. Live music on Fridays.

This brewery has a great atmosphere by the water. The beer selection is good and include a range of options beyond just IPAs. For food, they partner with Eugene's Sausage and Fries next door, which has a wide selection of brats, hotdogs, sandwiches, and various appetizers. Overall solid beer and food. Would certainly come back.

In town for vacation, absolutely great experience! The ambiance and views were spectacular. They have speciality brews that were super refreshing. The staff was very friendly and inviting. Got to enjoy bingo night; the brewery raised over $600 for the local school! I will be back for all the other "game nights" that are happening this week!

There are long term residents but they were pleasant and respectful of other peoples property. No problems to report. Camp store has limited days and hours of operation so have what you need for your stay or plan accordingly. Plenty of shopping and restaurants just across the bridge. Marina is closed and not sure if it will be open this season as it has been used for a staging area for the new bridge that's been completed. This is an older campground so doesn't offer Wi-Fi but our Verizon phones and hotspot worked fine. Our view was amazing and helped to get through the winter months! We will stay here again!!

It was actually the weekend of the Summer Solstice...so you know, the LONGEST day of the year. I think it got dark at like 9:15 (sun 'officially' set somewhere around 8:45 or so), and these douches want you to be done fishing, cleaned up, and out the damn door by 8pm!? I love this spot for the fishing. It's only an hour south of DC, but the Potomac gets to maybe 50' deep at parts (maybe more?) and it's close enough to the Chesapeake Bay that the water is brackish (high salinity level i.e. ocean fish i.e. EDIBLE fish i.e. REALLY EFFIN BIG fish are up in there. Last Friday (June 19)I was in my canoe (prolly not a good idea with all the waves and currents and stuff...my buddy's $13k pontoon party boat couldn't hack the waves there on a windy day) fishing for rockfish, bluefish, croakers, spot, spanish mackerel, flounder, and sea trout. I actually caught nothing but a shit-ton of white perch which are good only for bait. I was right around the corner from the Aqua Land Marina, beside the power plant's release gate that was making a 50' current of dead fish (the shad/herring run ended recently so there was a ton of dead fish being sucked into the current and flowed straight out). This was naturally a great place to park and try to scoop up the big boys that would invariably be parked on the outskirts, getting their fill on fish flesh. I heard something massive break the water and turned to see what looked like a shark about 40' off the shore. Being 20' off the shore, I wanted to believe that it WASN'T a shark and was only a log or something. So I just ignored it. Heart was pumpin' though. About 20 minutes later I heard it again and turned to see what looked like a 5lb fish jumping out of the water (this usually means something bigger is chasing it to the surface, trying to eat it, thus referred to as a breaking fish). Then I saw what was chasing it. The dorsal fin was sticking out of the water (maybe a 10-16" tall) and there was about 4' of exposed back. Couldn't see the tail or the head. That was definitely a shark. Most likely in the 6'-7' range. I immediately paddled to the shore, dragging both the anchors, and started freaking out. I had to paddle back to the boat ramp and this guy is now 30' offshore, in 6' flats (that's a very shallow place) that extend all the way back to my truck. In short, I'm in his eating zone and my canoe is anything but stable with all the shit I've got in it. You may not have guessed it, but I ended up surviving. Got back with nary the further incident. I didn't see him again, but I know where to find him. I went up to Bass Pros near BWI Airport and bought gear that could withstand a battle with a shark. I will be buying a real boat really soon and then it's on. I am Ahab. Or at least Roy Schneider. And I'm gonna make that sonofabitch smile. Yeah, so after researching the possibilities of sharks on the Potomac, it's most likely that it was a nurse shark (which supposedly are docile, but google a picture of one, they're hella scary looking) or a spiny dogfish (which I've actually caught before) that really doesn't pose much of a real risk. However, in 1975 I think, commercial crabbers around the exact place on the Potomac I was at, netted 5 bull sharks accidentally. Bull sharks are one of the 5-10 sharks in the world that do NOT let go when they 'accidentally' bite a human. Most sharks hate pink meat. Bull sharks love it. And they're as aggressive as a trailer-park kid on meth. This is why I got back to the truck, exhausted/sunburnt, all late and stuff. Luckily, after being locked in, someone who has a slip there was leaving and let me out. The rates are good (like $8 to launch), there's a small store with beer, maybe bait, tackle, limited snacks, and strange hours of operation. I think they sell gas there too. People shore fish to some level of luck (mostly catfish, which I do eat out there, they are fine). There is also a campground attached and it looks aight. One caveat, MD State Police have a station there and they will eyefuck you from a distance when you're drinking on your boat and/or trying to dock on the chincy little dock. So be careful.

Great marina and people. This was not a planned stop, we just got lucky. After a few days waiting…read moreon weather to calm down we had witnessed the meticulous handling of boats being hauled in and out, admiring the attention to detail given to each one. We had planned to haul out in a few months for blister repair and bottom paint, after observing we decided we found our place. Excellent work, reasonably priced, and impeccable communication. Great pool and bath house, laundry, floating docks, dog park across the street, with instacart and walmart delivery options. Great short ride to Yorktown via dinghy to enjoy the free hop on and off trolly tour. Can't say enough great things about this place we will defiently return.

There are a couple of beautiful flower gardens, not to mention the marina is nestled in a placid area surrounded by large trees. The entire marina is pristinely manicured. They have a full working service yard and haul out. The ship store is stocked with a wide variety of boater's needs. We are on the great loop and needed a repair to our bow thruster, the marina was happy to work us in even though they were booked through July! So much to do close by, Uber does pick up from here and food can be delivered. If you get the chance this is a great place to stay.
