    What a cool place. This was my first time coming to Kirby's ice house and I was quite surprise how large the space was indoor and outdoors. We came with a large group of 20 plus people and we were all accommodated with seating and standing space to watch the Mike Tyson fight. There were so many different areas to hang out depending on your vibe. There were areas with beach chairs ,picnic tables, high top tables and the bar seating plus the indoor bar area which was nice balance. There were many ways to grab a drink, either from the bar outdoor or the one indoor. The only bummer was that the 2nd bar outside was inactive for the night, but the positive was that there were servers walking around all night with drink orders. There were many flat screens indoor and outdoors and multiple very large movie screens outdoors. Perfect to watch the fight! I loved the neon signs! The bar servers were friendly and very fast to take and make your drink. There were also two food trucks outdoors which was nice if you needed a bite ( Cuban sandwiches or hot chicken) . Overall, this is a great spot to hang out with friends and family & to meet new people.

    Fresh but bland and had no crunch. Ranch was good though.

    This is my 3rd time coming here & once again it's just been okay for me. This spot is very spacious with good amount of seats on the inside and a very large seating on the outside. This is a great place to bring a party of 50. If you're not into large crowds then this isn't the place for you. I only went because it was four of my friend's birthday, otherwise I would've picked a different spot. My anxiety definitely increased with the amount of people that were there. Let's start with the positive, I ordered a jack & coke, manhattan & 2 Long Island ice teas. All were strong and tasty. The last Long Island definitely had me up there. It was mainly liquor with a little bit of tea, so no complaints. The staff were okay, they weren't the nicest but they did their job to get the drinks out in a timely manner. We were there for the Tyson/Paul fight so I definitely understood that they were slammed. The parking is trash. They have a decent amount of parking spots but it's just too many people. I see folks driving in circles hoping to find a spot but luckily I took uber to get here because I knew what I was getting into. The food I ordered at the food truck was below par. I got the chicken tenders with French fries. While I can tell they made it fresh to order and the tenders were not frozen. It was just bland with no seasoning. There was barely any coating on the chicken to make it crispy, they could've fried it a little harder. I think they were in a rush to make my food. The fries were sad with no salt nor did it had a crunch to it. The best part were their ranch. The thought process for making fresh chicken rather than freezer bag was great but the execution was garbage. Definitely not worth 14 bucks plus tips. If you're drunk you probably would've care but I was drunk & it still tasted like nothing. Overall, it was an okay experience. Not my ideal spot but it got the job done as far as drinks. It's 23 and up to get in so don't be surprised if you're denied entry if you're 21-22. This is also a dog friendly spot, so bring your fur babies out there. They have a rotation of food trucks coming in so it's not the same all the time. Hopefully if I were to ever come back, they will have better food options.

    I stopped by Kirby Ice House on a Wednesday night to catch up with friends and to watch the World Series final game. You must have your ID to enter! The establishment is incredibly spacious - with versatile indoor and outdoor seating. There were yard games, tons of tv's tuned into many different sporting events, and several bars for ordering drinks. If you want food, you can bring in your own or you can order from the food trucks they have on site. Overall, it's a great atmosphere to catch up with friends and hang out while watching a game.

    Kirby Icehouse is the spot for watching sports and catching a chill vibe. They have food trucks, astroturf, a great selection of beer on draft, and a full bar. What more do you need? This is my go to for the dive bar experience without the grunge that comes standard with most dives. Any time there is a Houston sporting event, they will have it on the TVs along with sound. There are plenty of TVs and a projector for the important games. Happy hour is from 2-7pm and they have specials for cocktails, beer, and wine. If you like dive bars and patio bars this spot is right up your alley. They are a good option for a day drinking or a chill night with your friends. The staff is attentive and there is always a place to sit, and lots of bartenders means there is normally a minimal wait for drinks. The next time you're looking for a casual hang be sure to check them out, you won't be disappointed.

    Such a vibe! They have a wide selection of beers and my favorite Eastcider Pineapple ! You can play Jenga, connect four, or bring your own board or card game. There are comfortable couches, picnic tables, or you can sit inside at the bar. There is something for everyone. A great hangout to watch sports games, meet people, even have some great food from one of the food trucks on site! Also dogs friendly!

    Madison was an amazing server very attentive and made sure we were never empty! We were watching the UT game and she made sure the game was was on where we could watch it.

Since managements cleansing of the great beer joints and bar spots, Woodrow's remains. The have a good amount of seating for an OG RV joint, and often manage to keep a volume of customers to take up at least 50% it. Service can be a bit slow as the bar is far smaller than the amount of seating. And it's not very well ventilated for those looking for a cool landing pad during hot months. They have a smaller beer selection, and a full bar. This place is a solid for happy hours and hangouts.

    Oh how I wanted to have a great experience here…read more... My best friend and I took a Lyft here after seeing Little Woodrow's online and figured we'd give it a shot during the Wild Card Conference game. When we arrived, it appeared to be cool. Some of the staff appeared to be lighting the outside heaters for the evening as the sun was beginning to set but not one person greeted us. Not one person came to even say "hello, we'll be right with you"... nothing. The staff member that I mentioned earlier setting up heaters; he looked our tables direction (since we took it upon ourselves to sit), and did nothing. Not a menu on the table, not a straw, nothing. I was highly disappointed and won't be returning. It's unfortunate that such a highly respected place doesn't have that same equal service for all customers. We surely took our money elsewhere... where we were at least greeted.

To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.
