Need to come again to give a full review but I got to come out for a dog adoption event they had over The weekend. Drinks are decent, there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but parking stinks. Very excited for a sports bar close to home to enjoy games at! read more

Great local spot! Awesome bar service-super friendly and attentive. Huge patio and dog friendly out there. They have great weekly drink specials. We tried some food from the food truck nothing really special- but it was decent and the guys running it were super cool. I'll definitely be back to watch some baseball and bring my dog! read more

Service was great. Cool bar with plenty of TVs to watch the games. Food truck food was marginal. Went to the bar to order a round of drinks and they didn't have any vodka on premises (friend wanted a mule). Odd. Also asked what draft beer they had on tap. The answer was "none" with no explanation. Also very odd. Every tap had a cup over it. They struggled to answer what canned or bottle beer they had other than Miller Lite and Ultra. This was mid afternoon, not late night. I don't blame the servers, it has to be a management issue. read more

Service was phenomenal! All staff were amazing! Great, simple food selection from the food truck. Glad to see this place back open, will be a regular, again. read more

This place is f'ing dumb. Asked for a house margarita and got charged for two 15$ margs during happy hour. Also don't ask for water they are $4 each for a baby bottle of water. read more

I pass this place every day on my way to work. I was really looking forward to coming here to end my Mother's Day celebration. I was extremely disappointed by the way the female bartender treated my husband. This was our first time and our order was very easy, a bucket of Dos XX's with lime. The female bartender only gave us 1 beer and my husband said, "I wanted a bucket." And the female bartender was bothered and said, "What is it that you want!" I was blown away by her unnecessary response. We ended up finishing our drink and left very disappointed. I wished we would have just stuck to our regular hangout down the street. We are not afraid to spend money so their loss. read more

I went there for a drink with My wife and daughter and the waitress was extremely rude. it was a slow night since it's late Sunday. I was extremely disappointed since it was our first and definitely will be our last time to go there. Maybe the waitress was having a bad night but to be rude over ordering drinks is over the top. read more

Where do I start. I was having so much fun here and realized my shoe was untied. Samara walked all the way around the bar and tied it for me! She also gave me the old heimlick when I had some craw stuck. Thanks to the low ambiance, no one saw me struggle so I was embarrassed as she saved my life. I will be back! read more

This place is the best! Wouldn't change a thing. Bartender is outstanding, and there are plenty of options for dining or just having a great time! read more

I come here for the run club, which is at 6:30 on Mondays, and you get a free beer every 5th run. I love running on memorial trail and enjoy the vibes of both the club and the other patrons of the bar. They have a nice, spacious outdoor patio that dogs can sit at, as well as large fans mounted up near the ceiling. They have some picnic tables with chairs as well as tables with umbrellas. I have not spent as much time inside, but it looks cool/like your basic bar area. The inside is darker and therefore more intimate. They have good alcohol deals (such as some $3 beers) as well as have events such as steak night and other things going on the whole week. I have not tried the food, so I cannot speak to it, but will update if I get the chance to. They have large TVs to catch hockey and any other sports going on. read more

When looking up steak nights in houston we found Memorial Trail Ice House and decided to give it a try instead of doing our usual. The place is pretty big and has a nice outdoor seating area with some tv's and big screen to watch games on. The bartender was very friendly and let us know different drinks they had and was helpful. Since we went for steak night, I of course have to talk about that too. Wasn't bad and for 19.99 get a steak, potatos and green beans. Everything had good flavor and definitely a lot of good for the price. This was a Tuesday night, would like to check out on a weekend and see what it's like too, looks like a good place to hang out. read more

Memorial Trail Ice House - Outside seating area - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

The space is enjoyable, they have a good selection of beers as well as cocktails. They also have a food truck, I believe it rotates. They're dog friendly (!!) and have lawn games. I've enjoyed stopping in to hang on a weekend or attend happy hours here. Overall this is a fun, casual spot. Parking is abysmal. There's a small lot that's pretty tight - great if you drive a smart car - but it fills up fast and is not paved. Park in the surrounding neighborhood if you can! Overall would recommend! Bring your friends, your kids (I suppose) and your pups! Drinks are solid! Just be prepared to walk a little or, better yet, Uber! read more

Molly is the best. Don't cross her or boss her. Let her do her thang and she'll treat you right! So impressed at the composure of staff on a busy day when many wanted to "watch their team" with the Astros coming up. Molly sorted the technical issues and delivered her promise to keep our Ŧ game on as the 'Stros came to play (and win!) in NYC. THANKS TO HER AND DAVID at the front door for letting us know in advance how it would work so all fans could chill and enjoy their games. This is *the place to be* to support your team and have a good time! read more

Great, new neighborhood spot! They had a great drink selection and the ambiance was enjoyable. Staff has been solid every visit. Parking can be an issue, had one of the employees double park behind me on a weekend, took some time to get out. Great for group Happy Hours. Been back several times and each time was enjoyable. The majority of the place is outside, so dress accordingly. read more

Memorial Trail Ice House - Bloody Mary, not my favorite but pretty decent - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went to Memorial Trail Ice House for the first time a couple of weeks ago as part of an alumni event for my sorority. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much parking they had. Before going I checked to see if it was pet friendly, and to Button's benefit it was! She loved it so much, she wanted to walk around and sniff everything! The big fans blasting air were helpful and kept all of us cool during this warm evening. The food truck there had great food though the portions were huge! It was alright though, I was able to share. I liked that they had an indoor area, and outside area under a porch, and an outside area with lots of seating and umbrellas for multiple tables. read more

Memorial Trail Ice House is a great addition to the neighborhood! The whole place is really cool. They kept the historic outside of the building, while creating a modern, comfortable inside bar area. But the real star is the back patio area - it's massive! Even with Covid social distancing, there is plenty of seating. My only complaint is that they should add some TVs to the patio area. The drink selection is also really good. They have a few frozens, several signature Cocktails, and a decent selection of draft beers. I tried the Roundabout Rickey and Bee Someone and both were great. They also have food trucks on site and two large parking lots. read more

Went here on a weekday to hang with someone. On a Thursday night, the place is not busy at all. Nice that they have a private lot to park your car and also the option of street parking. I was lucky to get a spot for my car. They have indoor and outdoor seats and plenty of tvs as well to catch a game or something. I only ordered a glass of red wine. I wasn't able to sample their food items, hence, I couldn't really give it 4 stars. I am sure this place gets packed on big game nights and walkable within apartments and houses that surround the area. Will go back to sample their food menu someday. Overall, a good, simple and quiet night with a good glass of red. read more

Found this place here on Yelp while searching midpoints for our cycling group. Not sure how we hadn't know about it already. Hidden Gem? Huge yard with food carts and fire pits. Showed up Monday night with 20+ people and the food and drinks were quick and the staff were awesome. Definitely group friendly and welcoming. read more

Pretty cool bar with a sizable outdoor and indoor area and plenty of TVs. This is probably a great place for large groups. The beer/liquor selection is solid as well. I do wish they had more food than just potato chips but I think there's usually a food truck outside to fill that niche. The parking lot gets pretty muddy so if it's just rained think about your footwear. read more

Great atmosphere and drinks. Wish they had more options for food ... there was only the burgers when we went. No other food trucks on site. We ended up leaving to get dinner after having drinks. read more

Memorial Trail Ice House - Patio area - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been here a few times and have always had a good time. It's a great place to hang outside on a nice evening and they have quite a few fire pits surrounded by Adirondack chairs for when the weather cools down. Otherwise there's plenty of picnic tables and even some indoor space to hang out. This place differs from a true ice house by serving draft beers and cocktails (a welcome addition for many). My only qualm is parking can be difficult here. While there is a parking lot, it's small and you can see cars having difficulty maneuvering around. Basically, plan to park in a ditch in the surrounding neighborhood neighborhood if you're going during peak hours. read more

Memorial Trail Ice House - Beer in the backyard! - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

We went here for a friend's going away party and wanted a bar with games. The place is really big and has a big outdoor sitting area. There are also plenty of games to choose from, but we decided to play cornhole. The drinks are pretty interesting. I got a rosie frozie and everyone in my party all decided to get one after trying it. However, there are no alcohol in here. I got a tequila sunrise after the frozen margarita, and again, I didn't feel buzzed. I then got the matcha shot from their happy hour menu. It was sweet, but again, still sober. Even my friend who is a complete light weight didn't feel anything. Definitely recommend pre-game before coming here. If you're looking to get buzzed, better luck at some other bars. But if you're just looking for somewhere to just hang out and chat with friends, this is the place for you. read more

This not so hidden patio bar has been on my list for awhile, and I finally got to try it out recently. First off, I appreciate the location being away from the typical "Washington" area/crowd. There is a gravel parking lot, as well as limited street parking. The patio is pretty large and is filled with plenty of chairs and tables. I tried out the "walk on the wild side" cocktail during my visit - essentially a not-so-fruity spicy margarita - and it was delicious! I foresee Memorial Trail Ice House being a regular spot for me on a pretty day! read more

Don't let the address "Washington" fool you. It's not located on the infamous strip where bars and clubs cater to the super young and $30k millionaires. This gem is past the roundabout, nestled north of what most know "Washington" as and south of I-10. They also happen to have two huge self parking lots on site, which is a big plus. Trying to find street parking can be a nightmare, but this puts you at ease. Most importantly, they have an incredibly large outdoor patio/yard. I know times are a little tougher right now, but this alone makes this place stand out as an option. If you're at all cautious and want to still get out to enjoy a drink or meet some friends, look no further. Plenty of space between tables and chairs. The owner John walked around and introduced himself and couldn't be a nicer and more welcoming guy. You can see his passion for having a place to gather with friends and seems undeterred in these tough times. Drinks are plentiful and varied; everything from fancy cocktails to your college memories. Staff was super nice. Fire pits on site and heaters as well for those colder fall/winter nights. Nice to see another elevated ice house in Houston, and on this side of town. read more

Great outdoor venue that was sorely needed. The Washington corridor is filled with bro bars and a certain type of crowd. This is an ideal neighborhood bar that I haven't really seen in this specific area throughout the 5 years I've lived here read more

Posting here because they deleted the post I commented on IG. Went here today for $5/lb crawfish. We were THE FIRST people there at 1055. My friend was at the bar and I got our group a table on the patio. Manager tells bartender "our supplier screwed us so we only have 100lbs and it won't get here til 1" instead of the 12 o'clock advertised. Fine. My friend tells bartender we're here for crawfish, bartender replies "oh bro I got you, y'all were the first ones here." Couple sits down next to us with tickets, approximately 1235, I tell me friend he needs to go check in with his bartender. He comes back and tells me it's completely sold out. WHAT A JOKE. No signal, no announcement, no time mentioned to get in line. I understand at $5 not everyone is going to get crawfish, BUT WE WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE THERE, it's utterly ridiculous. Your staff need to be prepared or at least somewhat have a clue on big days like today. Between that and the new forced, poorly executed valet system, we likely won't be back. read more

Great place and awesome atmosphere. Customer service was really good too. I had two bee someone and I can't wait to go again to have another one! read more

Went to Memorial Trail Ice House for only an hour on Saturday night. Witnessed 4 cars get broken into at their private parking lot. The manager did not help any of the customers and kept saying that it was not their problem. Do not go to this bar if you plan on driving. read more

I work a few blocks away and happened to drive by and saw that the Ice House was finally open (I was told it opened about 2 weeks ago). I came in the next night, thinking I would only see a cozy bar in a brick building. However, I was pleasantly mistaken. The interior of the bar is warm and relaxing, with dark wood floor and square bar (at least 3 sided). I liked the brick facing and antique-like fixtures. Several taps of cold draft beer and good selection of spirits (drink menu is available). Seating inside was fairly varied, with bar stools, sofas and arm chairs. Great space with televisions in several areas. But the big plus is the large outdoor area, part covered but mostly open. The high wooden fence kept out most of the traffic from Washington. The outside area is large enough with several groupings of chairs (plastic and wooden Adirondack chairs and other styles) but also picnic tables. The other big plus is the large off-street parking lots (without valet), which is the biggest reason I would return (a bar farther north on Washington has almost no off-street parking and can feel crowded). The bartenders I interacted with were very personable (only remember one of their names, Robbie). My cocktail was pretty good. Only issue I encountered is that they do not take cash, only credit cards. I was caught off by this and could only find one sign, and I almost didn't notice it. My suggestion (besides accepting cash) is to post more than one sign and move the one that is posted so it faces where most people will see it upon entering (not on the far corner of the bar). Otherwise happy with the establishment, and look forward to returning to it. read more

I have been wanting to try this unassuming, hidden patio bar for a long time, and it didn't disappoint! The patio is huge and filled with plenty of chairs and tables. The whole area fills up quickly on the weekend though, so aim to get there before the crowd around 1:00pm. The drink selection is really awesome in that you have everything from beer and wine to signature cocktails and liquor. With how nice the drinks are, I only wish that Memorial Trail Icehouse had their own food menu. Each table is given a bucket of bagged chips, and two food trucks are the only other options for food (Mediterranean and gourmet hot dogs). These options were both really good though! The service was quite slow as my table was never approached by the outside wait staff, so expect to walk up for drinks more often than not. All things considered though, I'll be back for fun, casual day drinking! read more

Savages offered $5/lb crawfish, opened early (pre hours listed), didn't tell anyone the sale process. Incredibly horrible run at this. They proceeded to delete their IG post promoting it. Honestly the worst business idea and execution I've ever experienced. read more

I've been a regular at Memorial Trails Ice House since it opened in the challenging COVID era. Wow, it has improved and grown impressively. They've added BIG outdoor TV screens, shade cover, live music (now an indoor stage) and I just noticed the new mobile ordering app is live. Owner John Shaeffer is a great guy and like most entrepreneurs, has no quit in him and committed to a great customer experience. I applaud all entrepreneurs who "put it out there". Tuesday Steak Night is a great deal. Nothing like a hot steak right off the barbie washed down by an Alstadt Lager followed by a game of corn hole. read more

Served Ghost in the machine in a sippy cup. Came to watch football but apparently ALL their TV's are tied together, four per channel. It's a one hit wonder, been there once, no point in ever going back. Worst establishment I've been too in the Heights. With so much adequate competition out there this one is DEFINITELY two thumbs down. Never again! read more

My car was broken into Saturday Night. Manager was not there that night. Employees were rude about camera footage and they claimed they have no responsibility over cars in there parking lot which is located on the premises. Terrible bar. Never going back. DO NOT DRIVE TO THIS BAR. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS! read more

Love love this neighborhood bar! Specially now that we are all getting vaccinated ;-)

Had a good time until I saw my tab. Didn't know I would be paying Dallas prices at a beer garden. It was a friends birthday so we were drinking our old college "go-to's" for sh*t's and giggles. Anyway.....I ordered 2 beers (12 oz cans of bud light) and 2 shots of some knock-off fireball. I imagined maybe this is around $20 at most.....NOPE $42 was the charge for those beverages, for 2 cans of beer and 2 cheap shots. The bar tender looked it over, and it was correct, she agreed that it was way too high for such a measly order. Nothing was reprimanded, that quick little $42 is the last they'll see from us. Kudos. read more
