Everyone from the owner John to the bartenders are extremely inviting . I go during the day and Erica and Sarah are fantastic , treat me like a friend and the night staff as well Izzy and Erin , friendly and quick to serve and attentive. Besides the amazing staff there is the amenities . The pool tables are high quality big 8's and get refelted often not to mention free pool always and since there are three of them there is hardly ever a wait. This is the kind of place that keeps its long term customers. Smoking is allowed in the bar but you wouldn't really know it because it's clean and never smells like it . The customer rewards and drink specials make sense to the crowd and come in handy and inappropriate behavior is handled very classy and almost never happens from the customers. Highly recommend They also have darts and slot machines and great pizza and theme nights that are very fun read more

I put funds in the jute box. No one tells you nor does the jute box say that someone can go on the app and pay to by pass all of your songs that you PAID for. 2 hours later no songs that you picked and PAID for. I want my fuxxxxx money back bixxh. Last time I come here. Fuxx people over for their money. read more

I'm only giving this establishment a 3 cause, perhaps I should give less cause they always have a tendency to overcharge more than what you actually order and add gratuity as well despite the transaction including tip of which I usually don't mind.. Whereas with rude service I think now, although apparently it's standard practice to add gratuity in of which I didn't authorize.. Especially with the bartender doing so outta spite!! Very bad business practices.. & don't pay on your card unless you wanna be overcharged, or charged for what you didn't agree upon paying!! read more

They allow dogs 12-9pm! Spacious outdoor seating. They have cold beer although no miller on tap. Didn't try any food here yet but might. Make sure of you do being your dog bring bags in case it poops, which my dog waited until we got outside. Decent beer specials and ladies night Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not a bad place to come have a drink with your dog. They have two nice pool tables and a shuffleboard table and a few dart boards and even a beer pong table outside. There isn't a menu to speak of, the only good options are a warmed up frozen pizza or chips so eat sommers else before you come here to drink I guess. There's Plenty of food places nearby too.. Ps there's a horse shoe pit, not a good one by any means but it is there read more

Lone Star Ice House - Outdoor seating - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Outstanding outdoor space with all kinds of games: bags, connect four, basketball and more! Really dog friendly!!

This is my usual Saturday night spot because of the karaoke on the outdoor deck. There is free pool and the table are regulation size, not the common bar size found at many other establishments. The crowd is generally from mid-20s to mid-30s. The karaoke music preference is generally country, classic rock, and modern rock. Inside the bar, I've found that most people listen to the same music I've mentioned previously, with some hip-hop thrown in. The parking is probably my biggest issue. The lot is very small, but additional parking can be found at neighboring restaurants after 10pm. read more

In response to John G: You are well aware of my financial status and that there is neither any issue to pay (as do all reading this who know me). Further, you also know the law broken was extortion by these punks, not gambling. Its all on you man. I called you next day to offer you yet another chance to make good (thinking maybe you were too drunk when convo occurred). Even next day, you upheld the same irresponsible position. You lose my patronage, and of course this horrible story is to be shared on social media. What? Did you think this would be swept under the rug? -------------- On topic of gambling be illegal in state of texas, are YOU really bringing that topic up? I will spare you the embarrassment, but you know what im saying. And as for replying in timely fashion. For those of us working on computer most of day, yes, you get an email notifying of replies to your yelp comments. It doesnt take much to click reply and address the ridiculousness of the comment. On your requet for further discussion... I have spoken to you man to man on the topic. In the bar, then again during the day by phone (day after). You have made your position clear. There is nothing more to say. I told you my recourse is simply to not bring my business to your establishment. This shouldnt come as any surprise to you. As to your question why i dont pay the extortion? Do i seriously need to answer that? I cant say what you would do if someone approached you demanding you give them money under threat of battery (and for no reason). For me, i wont comply based on principle alone. Its not about the money (as ive told you already). If it was $20 or $5,000, the answer is a simple no. read more

Small town bar in a big city, Bartenders and staff very friendly, not a huge draft selection but it's a bar with atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. read more

I don't really know where to start with the positives on this review, other than the drink specials. This place has little to offer in terms of service or environment. The bartenders were lethargic at best, though I'm hesitant to blame them as that is likely a result of breathing in cigarette smoke, and the place smelling of it. It is an assault on the senses the minute you walk in, if you stay long enough for a drink, you'll leave smelling like it. read more

Great job! Go team! This place is more awesome than a unicorn singing in the rain on the moon while Saturn does the hand jive! You can bring your dog! They are solid gold dancers! On a serious note, cool friendly local place to hang! read more

Warning, the regulars who play pool make you play for your table. So if you have intentions of playing with your date then don't bother even going in. These dudes come sporting their own sticks so its pretty hardcore. Bartenders were friendly :) We didn't venture to the outside and it was a Sunday so they just had a DJ inside playing a mix of country, rock, alternative, and dance type songs. Overall, not bad but no future trips for us. read more

This is a great place to hangout with friends and have a few cold beers. You might think it's a country bar from the street but there are all kinds of people there and you can play your favorite music on the jukebox. The staff is always smiling and they are always on your drink. Saturdays they have a guy named John there cooking awesome BBQ on the patio along with karaoke and dancing. read more

awesome!!! Come here. Melissa is awesome bartender. Very clean establishment and great people. I would recommend this place to locals and out of towners read more

Two weeks ago was our first visit to this ice house. We really enjoyed ourselves, with just a few things that were a bit of a downer. Walking in we were greeted by the bartender's dog -- a friendly, very well mannered Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier perhaps? We loved that! The atmosphere is casual, saloon-like, with a nice long bar and plenty of seating inside and out. Erica was our bartender and she was GREAT. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. We struck up conversations with other patrons, as it was a friendly crowd. Age group was Mid-20's to late 30's for the most part. We went to the outdoor patio and LOVED IT until the DJ and his friends started smoking pot (see biggest complaint below), then we went back inside. The patio is super spacious, with a firepit and seating around it, picnic tables, and a whole area with bar tables and chairs. Outdoor heaters, lights, and a really nice stage make for a a great atmosphere. Downers: * No food. There is no kitchen here so all they have is small bags of chips and nuts you can purchase. I hear they sometimes have bar food brought in for special occasions. * Bathrooms. There are two restrooms for women. One is inside the pool room area, where there are hard core pool players -- don't bother coming to play pool because the regulars won't give up the tables, and they tend to smirk and make comments when a "newbie" comes into the area even to use the restroom. * BIGGEST COMPLAINT: the Karaoke DJ outside on the patio and his friends were all smoking pot, relatively openly. I am not a prude, and don't really care what anyone else does, but it definitely is not something I want to be around. Here's the thing -- the DJ was super nice, professional, and friendly and made everyone feel welcome and appreciated. His friends were really nice as well. We hated to go back inside, but like I said, nobody wants to be around that in public. We will most likely go back and see what happens, give it another shot. read more

I had emailed this bar to see if they would be playing the Aggie vs Sam Houston pay per view game. I was told that they would - so we drove from Katy to go watch it there. When we walked in - we were told they were not showing the game. Very disappointed that we drove all that way for nothing. We did not stay. read more

Love this place. Just amazing staff that creates a wonderful atmosphere. Great drink prices as well

This was an amazing place with a few games outside and some nice music! Extremely affordable drinks and the pool tables are free!!

WATCH OUT FOR THE BAIT AND SWITCH. We came in and ordered two beers. The waitress said three dollars. I opened a tab with my credit card. At the end of the night that same bartender says no it was three dollars a beer. Now normally if it was three dollars a beer would she not say its six dollars after we bought our first round? What do you think? Just pay cash when you go to this place. Its just a little shady for me read more

Karaoke was out on the patio thankfully, and entertaining, but the smoking environment inside and the overall was not what we were expecting. We had tried to use the "get one free drink" when checking in via yelp app and they had me give my phone number, register with my phone after receiving a text, and then two days later I received an offer for a free drink if I came back in to the place by that very weekend. Never seen that ever with offers with Yelp. Clearly not the same for just checking in through Yelp. It was our first time so we were just trying to get a feel for the place but if they were marketing to get new people in the door it seems off they went about it that way. read more

Great bar. Awesome bartenders and free pool. Met so many new friends here that it feels like a family here.

Love this place.. Haven't found one bar in this area that treats their regulars so well !!! Made a lot of friends here as well !!

Great bar! Great bartenders that are easy on the eyes. Awesome drink specials! Dog friendly and they have live music the weekends.

Pretty laid back bar with nice patio but you gotta be regular there in order to get a drink or good service from the bartender. Good music free pool make it a good bar. 3star bar with 2star service. read more
