A laid-back beer garden near the Katy Trail, boasting a spacious patio, an extensive beer selection, and tasty barbecue in a chill, dog-friendly vibe.
"Being the most popular isn’t the same as being the best, but Katy Trail Ice House is too popular to ignore. It’s a well known pit stop for folks walking the trail and beer lovers, who all congregate in the outdoor seating with buckets of suds, burgers, queso and chips, and hot dogs. It’s highly social, so expect to share your table and most likely meet all kinds of new people. There is parking available nearby, but it’s a short walk to get to this spot." - Rachel Pinn, Courtney E. Smith
"This spot is one of the places in Dallas. The beer is beer and the frozen margs are always flowing — it’s nothing special, drink-wise. The magic is in the crowd. Folks flock here during and after walks along the trail, or just for a drink. It’s a great place to meet people, bump into folks you already know, and have a Dallas-y time." - Courtney E. Smith, Kevin Gray

"Katy Trail Ice House is a fun and social venue where the table dynamics encourage meeting new people. The venue is praised for its margaritas, summer beer, and Cronitas (7 oz. mini-beer bottles of Corona)." - Courtney E. Smith
"Hit the trail Monday through Friday for happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m., when it offers a dollar off draft beers and well drinks. Bring your doggo along." - Courtney E. Smith
