Straight up great place! We came out first time and dj Pete is the best. Such great hits and vibes with the music choices. The food truck with the wings and hotdogs is perfect and delicious. Order right on the app front your phone! So amazing! Staff is friendly and even the manager checked in on me. We came back with our pirate party crew and that second visit was amazing. They had live band that day. Definitely a great spot! read more

Located about a quarter mile west of Decon Baldy's off FM 1488, why drive further for another "ice house" experience? Because parking is much easier and there are much more kid-friendly activities. However: 1. Food choices are much more limited at MDI; 2. Drinks way WEAK at MDI. Both icehouses are PAW friendly. The Julianna Margulies look-alike server did a terrific job keeping our glasses filled: Thanks Lexi! Lost star for food. It was expensive and WAY subpar. Eat Before You Go with kids before 7 PM. Without kids after 7 PM. Final Note: Lots to remind me of Preslee's inside the NW side of I-610 (Porch Swings and Blues Bro's), but where's the stuffed turkey legs? read more

Food is great but service is a hit or miss. We love going cause it's a very family friendly environment but sometimes we do not receive any service at all from the waitress's. We have had to go to the bar to get our own drink on multiple ocasiones. Almost seems like waitresses are very selective on who they want to serve. read more

First time at Moonshine watched some college football outside on the giant screen. Great spot for kids and families with corn hole and other games available. Two food trucks currently (Tex Mex and traditional sports bar food). We had burgers, fries, and the loaded mini corn dogs. All were great and I would definitely recommend. read more

Moonshine Deck Icehouse - Burger, fries, loaded mini corn dogs - Dive Bars Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

This is a great spot to hang out with friends/family and enjoy some good drinks, sports games on the big screen, or live music. The bar/wait staff are friendly and consistently checking in. If you're hungry there is always one or two food truck options that rotate. You can order and pickup directly from the trucks. There is also a cute snack shop filled with goodies that will satisfy a sweet or savory tooth for the young and young at heart. Games are also available. There is a pickle ball court, corn hole with bean bags, and other fun activities to keep you or your kids occupied. read more

I love the surround sound, games, food, service, and overall feel. I would definitely recommend if you are an outside person!

The fun atmosphere is great anytime of the year! Love the staff and the friends we've made there. read more

Food and service were amazing. South Texas tails is super good crawfish! Area for kids to play, drinks available. Inside and outside searing

UPDATE after an HOUR AND A HALF of waiting I left. I don't understand the whole, "it's not my section" thing. Like, I've been waiting well long enough. Just take my drink order. I've been in the business LONG enough to know that you can write my drink down for another server. That's called TEAMWORK. Extremely disappointing. I typically love this place but having to wait over an hour to be waited on or even talked to is ridiculous. Granted they do have an option to walk up to the bar but they have servers outside that don't even notice you when you get here. Like I said typically I love this place, but will never come on a weekend again. read more

This place is amazing!!! Anyone from families with kids, to friend group outings, to old people can come here and enjoy the outdoors and watch sports. On the HUGE screen. My margarita was delicious, service was great. They have food trucks, snack station for kids, tons of games. The owners of this place hit it spot on! We love it! Will definitely be coming here with my fam. My dad and I came here on a Friday night and enjoyed crawfish, watching the Astros and drinking margs! read more

Great place to hang and grab a beer. The drinks my wife tried we're okay. Maybe not my style or hers. Two food trucks. Good stuff from Dre dawgs. Later thought I'd get a hot dog from other place. Had to order and pay online with phone then hotdog took forever. Good band and all read more

While this seems like it could be a really cool spot, it feels like it's having a bit of an identity crisis right now. It's just hard to tell what they're going for - is it a chill, neighborhood hangout spot or a place you should expect to hear "shots, shots, shots!!" being chanted on a Friday night? I'm just not sure. There is a great outdoor area with games which is great for kids. It was cold when we went, but I could see really enjoying sitting out there when it's nice. The food truck food was surprisingly good, but the menu is pretty limited and would likely get old if I came here often. The beer list is dismal and boring. It's very limited and the options aren't great. Service was OK. Our waitress knew NOTHING about the menu. She didn't know what the rotating or seasonal beers were (and, did not offer to go find out for us) or anything about the other beers on the list. She was on top of things for the first 30 minutes or so, but then I was kept waiting with an empty beer for 20 minutes while she chatted at the bar with six other servers who were all also doing nothing. But, the door guy (I guess that's what he was) at the front was super friendly! I know they just opened, and there are always kinks to work out. I do hope they get them worked out as this could be a super cool place. I just wish they'd kick it up a notch and cater to a slightly more mature audience (e.g. expand the beer list, add a few decent wines, maybe include a guest food truck or two to switch up the food, train the staff a bit better (and, maybe find people who at least seem to be excited about working there)). Of course, these are all my preferences, and I guess this place didn't open just for me. Lol! Anyway, we'll be back to see how it does while they iron everything out and to enjoy the spring weather (hopefully!!). read more

We had our small wedding party here and they took care of us! Great atmosphere and wonderful staff!

So i truly have mixed reviews. I'm not sure what they're going for. Is it meant to be more for families or is it meant to be a true bar. Because right now it's trying to be both which doesn't mix well. If you want to be more family oriented don't be such a "bar". If you're bringing the little ones Except there could be wild adults drinking shots (like we were) and not be offended by what people say or do while drinking. People going for the bar atmosphere are going to drink, some... a lot, curse and get wild so be sure you're cool with that. Remember. It IS definitely a bar. Nice, big drink menu! Even at lunch it could be wild but probably better off than evenings. For me going to a bar means letting your hair down not worrying about what people (kids) may hear. But it's Very family oriented outside in the picnic table area because of the games and the kiddie candy food truck. They don't serve their own food therefore you rely on the food trucks. Crawfish was good but I think expensive. The burger/hotdog truck is Very good. But expect 45 minutes or more when the place is packed. That's not good when drinking humans need to eat. I almost left by the time my hotdog was ready. I was drinking and needed to eat so I got a headache. I should have eaten pizza with the others as you can go to brothers pizza and bring that in. But it's the only outside food you can bring. Except for a birthday cake so I was happy about that. So you're limited on food. For times it's not busy you're fine. But beware it gets packed! So if you want to eat you better plan ahead and bring brothers pizza or order burgers etc from the food truck when you get there. They do play good music and it gets loud as it gets later. Another "bar" attribute not "family time" They also have bands which is great. If you're looking for "bar", you got it... but with kids....everywhere. It's confusing. I mean it's in the name. "moonshine". Probably not my first choice when looking for family friendly. But it looks like a play ground/dog park when you walk in. So bottom line if you are going as a family expect a Bar, if going to party at a bar expect a playground full of kids. And nobody get upset when it doesn't fit your expectations of either. But food was good when we got it. And. Drinks are really good. Music/Bands great. Dirty looks from people because you're having a good adult time at a "bar", not so good. Having to constantly clear your own tables, unacceptable. We had a decent size birthday party. We had 3 big tables and lots of partying, 14-17 people at different times. Half the time we went to the bar to order drinks and I was carrying glassware back there every 30 minutes. Glasses just piled up. I hardly saw our server. It took me a bit to know who she was because I never saw her. I should know her name. But I don't remember. Not because of drinking, because I never saw her. And, we were there from 1 until after 9! We should have been on a name to name basis. I figured we'd have a server constantly checking on us with the amount of money we were spending but that wasn't the case. (Ending up totaling Over $600, not including the shots some friends were buying, easily another $200) One of the bartenders even mentioned something about it. She told me I should be getting tips from them because of how often she saw me bringing loads of glasses. They were slammed busy but I saw a lot of servers working. No excuse. I really want to go back when we aren't having a big party and see how I feel about it, I will order some food early and sit as far from the playground as possible. read more

The place is really cool and great set up for kids. Service was awesome and draft beers were great. Crawfish food truck was pretty good, a little over cooked but great flavor. Definitely will be back. Address or map is not correct on yelp. read more

Food is amazing! Staff is amazing! Ambiance is lacking. way too many kids there at night. We were there at 8:30 pm with a ton of kids screaming and running around and then a stroller rolled by with an infant so we left. It would be a really cool place to hang out if it was more of an adult environment at night with fewer kids screaming and running around. We won't be back because of that. read more

This bar has an indescribable amount of potential...... but, execution is terrible. Service is almost non existent. Saturday night, have been here an hour and no waitress. Karaoke night, odd for a Saturday for this type of bar and location. Management needs to wake up or this place willow follow local pour into irrelevanc and closure. read more

Fun place to hang out with family and friends. Definitely passes the vibe check. I will definitely be back!!

No service, No information, High prices for cheap minimal carnival food. Load, obnoxious and way too expensive for what they are. NEVER again! read more

My bartender was slow, kind of rude, and took forever to get me my check even on a pretty slow night... I don't usually eat food at bars, so I can't speak for that read more

Awesome environment, kid friendly, pet friendly. Bartenders are on top of it every time. Little on the expensive side but worth the price for the environment for me. Any time we want to enjoy the weather, this is go to spot. read more

Fantastic family space with very good lives music, In general the bands are treated respectfully (I've played with several bands there) and the crowd is responsive as well enjoyable. Great game for family and the food trucks are always fun! read more

Easily 5,000 kids. We came here thinking it was a nice bar..for adults... adults only....NOPE. this is where all the parents bring their kids to run around for hours while they watch they game. read more

We decided at random to come here. They had live music. The artist was local and pretty good. Our services was fat and friendly. Our order from the food truck was above what I expected. On the day we were here did not have a sea of kids. Will definitely come back. read more

A group of us went to Moonshine Deck Icehouse in Magnolia last evening. Although we didn't eat from the food trucks what I spied from others' orders looked good. Moonshine Deck is a cool place with a relaxed vibe. We sat in the bar area and the drinks were good and the servers even better. They also have lots of staff so you don't have much of a wait for service. In other reviews, several folks complained about the rampage of kids in the open areas but we weren't out there so I can't speak to that (21+ after 9 pm). The one con for us is it is too far from Montgomery (almost 15 miles); we prefer closer-to-home venues. We'll probably go again but it won't be a place we visit often. read more

Been there before it was good (little food choices) great music. Today I called asking for a reservation for 5- my son had surgery this week and is ready to get out and I cant have him standing to long so I was preparing. I was told no. I was prepared to pay for a reservation but wasn't given that option either. I did explain the concern they might be busy and just trying to assure we were not standing and the manager stated that's their busiest time so he wouldn't take reservations. I hate to hear that- there are several bar/ clubs/ piano bars we can make reservations at for free but we really wanted to show him Moonshine. Thanks anyway!! read more

Only food trucks but great ambiance and drinks! DJ always puts in a great set and bands are usually onsite in the late evening. Can be loud inside but perfect by windows or outside. read more

A group of our friends gathered for a happy hour. The waitress was attentive and kept the drinks coming along with cleaning the table from empty glasses. The DJ was great and they had Rock and Roll Bingo going on which was fun and engaging. The atmosphere is really good for what it is, an indoor/outdoor adult ice house/bar! There is a lot of seating, lighting, heat as needed and fans as needed (more info come summer). Everyone that worked there was friendly and accommodating. Two Strong Negatives: 1. The drinks during happy hour and beyond were like water. I ordered a mule and it tasted like water and ginger beer. A friend ordered a margarita and it was like solid mix and no tequila. So I think the bartender needs to even out their pours a little better. 2. If you want to order food, you have to scan a QR code, order from the menu, pay online and walk yourself up to the food truck to get your food. During your ordering and paying process, it asks how much you'd like to tip. So...what is the tip for? Cooking my food? Doing what you're there to do and making money as you do it? I don't like the serve yourself world we live in these days. When you first arrive and the server comes to your table, they will ask you for a card to start a tab and at the end you tip her as well. This is fine but IF I was tipping on the quality of the drinks, it would be zero dollars and zero cents. All in all, I think there needs to be a little tweaking to this venue. Aesthetically it's great! The look, the music, the lighting, the DJ, atmosphere and all the things there are to do, sit and enjoy. I am not a fan of food trucks and this one was not delicious or great...which is why I'm not a fan. Just mediocre and my meat wasn't cooked as ordered or even all the way through. Others in my party felt the same about the drinks and food. One last point, neither negative or positive: We were told kids were to be off-site after 7pm. When I left at 830, there were still kids there. What is the rule? read more

general manager had came out to my kids and friends skating and instead of asking nicely for them to leave he came up pushed and slapped my son noah and then pushed his friend then as they left he followed them down multiple properties almost hit my son with his car then proceeded to head back to work while on his shift read more

Vibes were great bar was fast. they had a candy store and 2 food trucks. after 9 their were still kids running around but nothing too bad. astros was on the big screen and for hot days they have water mists that are 10 out of 10 read more

The drinks we're great! Love the atmosphere. I love that families are allowed on a time limit basis, hope they keep!

Don't order lemon chicken. Lemon pepper light. No fresh lemons. This is still just bar crap

So excited this place is finally open! Such a cool place to hang on the patio, have some drinks, and enjoy the vibe! There are a ton of cool games and the kiddos can come during the day too!! Everyone is super friendly, and I have had the pleasure of having Kate as my waitress both times I've been here! She is so enjoyable to talk to and easy going! Definitely my new favorite place ! read more
