"I've long considered Kirby Ice House a popular Upper Kirby drinking destination, and it will expand to a massive second location in Memorial City with a sprawling 7,000-square-foot patio bar at the corner of Gessner and Katy Freeway where it will serve beer, cocktails, and wine. Energy Architecture is designing the bar, construction is expected to begin this summer, and the new spot is currently slated to open in Fall 2020. The original Kirby Ice House debuted in Houston in 2016 and initially made waves for a 23-and-older drinking policy before later changing to allow 22-year-olds as well." - Amy McCarthy
