15 Best Bars in Houston
"A beloved Houston institution, West Alabama Ice House has been in this spot in Montrose since the 1920s, with few improvements since. Which is exactly how it should be—there would be a serious outcry among locals if anything about it changed. This is an all-outdoor patio bar, replete with temperature-controlled sheeting in the colder months. With TVs that show the game, yard games, and picnic tables, it's no wonder the Ice House is such a hit with groups—including bikers, who pull up their motorcycles on the lawn. Although the Ice House serves wine, you'll notice that everyone is drinking beer. Go for a cheap Lone Star tallboy or peruse the chalkboard menu of local and Texas craft beers, IPAs, and ciders." - Marcy de Luna
