Kirby Ice House - The Woodlands

Kirby Ice House in The Woodlands is the perfect spot for a relaxed and fun evening out! The place is incredibly spacious with a great mix of indoor and outdoor seating. We especially loved the massive outdoor screen for watching the game — perfect atmosphere for sports fans! Inside, the bar is lively with great energy, friendly staff, and more TVs than you can count, so you won’t miss a single play. The decor is cool and nostalgic with classic portraits and neon signs adding to the vibe. Whether you're coming with a big group or just for a casual drink, this place delivers good times all around. Definitely coming back! 📸 Check out the huge patio, the game-day setup, and the packed but welcoming bar — this place has it all.

Our first time coming here and we didn't expect it to be so big. It was packed!! They have so many seating areas. Inside by the bar, the middle, which were picnic tables and the outside seating. They have this huge TV outside that you can see as you pull up to the location. There were two food trucks outside. The only thing I would suggest is to have pool tables or some live music/ dance floor. That would make it a top-notch bar, in my opinion. The vibes were fun. We did see a lot of young people just walking back and forth. Others were just seating,chilling, socializing, and drinking. Overall, I loved it! We will be returning.

Nice place to hang out with friends in Market Street, after a long day at work. This place is huge and attracts crowd of all ages. This place doesn't have food, however there is a food truck from which you can order. The truck is just a few steps away. You will have to walk a couple of times, depending on the amount of time you spend here. Staff are friendly.

My husband's 70th birthday party was great thanks to the fun staff and our cocktail waitress, Cassidy. She was friendly and attentive to our friends. I prepared the food at home but beyond that it was just so easy to have the party at Kirby's. Everyone had a fabulous time!

Cool place. I like to pregame here before concerts. Only negative is (some) managers apparently play music they like and not what the current crowd may be into. Playing the late night pop music is a bad idea any afternoon or early evening, but especially when it doesn't match the concert that evening....or when the daytime crowd is noticeably on the older side. "Read the room" is a good rule of thumb.

My friend had her birthday party at The Woodlands location. We were in the very large, outdoor, covered area that was cooled with misting fans. There were both bar tables and comfortable seating areas with couches and coffee tables. The area we were at was clean. There were cocktail waitresses that came around or you could go to the bar area. I ordered a drink from the waitress and didn't have to wait very long to be served. Even with my very generous tip, the drink didn't cost more than I would pay at a regular bar. You could bring your own food or buy food at one of the three food trucks that were parked on the premises. I only tried one thing and it was typical food truck fare. I thought it was a little pricey but still fairly affordable and convenient. Were I to go back, I would bring my own food. I saw outdoor games and other areas that were not covered. They are dog friendly and two of my friend's guests brought their dogs. I did not visit the restroom so can't report on cleanliness. Parking was free but on busy days you may have to circle a few times to find a spot. Their website includes a food truck calendar, daily specials, tap menu, and event scheduling. If they were less of a drive for me, I would go back.

Be careful! My wife ordered a margarita and asked for it to be made with a reposado tequila. The waitress then just walked off before my wife could ask what brands were available. She thought the waitress would be back to let her know. She came back in about 10 minutes with a margarita. When we got the bill the margarita was $20.00. That is ridiculous. Besides that you really couldn't taste the tequila. This place is basically an "ice house" , not a place you expect to pay $20 for a margarita. Also be aware if you just do a search for this place it has a link to a menu with a lot of items on it but, it's not clear that food depends on what food truck is there at the time you go. This might be a fun place to go for drinks with a group but be careful-now that I've looked at more reviews, there are quite a few complaints about being double charged, charged for things not ordered, and charges on cards days after being there.Now you can add what I would call being scammed on a margarita.

We don't come here to drink. It's a nice outdoor venue that has rotating food trucks. My girlfriend is disabled and has mobility issues. It is difficult for her to get around, so we always park in the handicap spot and walk through the side gate to get to the food truck. This was the first time an employee would not let us enter through the side gate. This was the first and only time we've ever been stopped trying to enter. We are both in our late 30s and do not look like children. The guy would not even come talk to us. He was shouting at us from a distance. You need to train your employees better. Yelling orders at customers. Why can't you approach us and talk to us calmly? Horrible way to treat the disabled community. Disgusting customer service. We'll never return here. Please don't spend your money here. They don't care for their customers.

Came to Kirby's to grab a drink with some friends. Jen took great care of us and our drinks were FABULOUS!! She was so kind and made it an awesome experience overall!!!!

I love Kirby Ice House!! There is always plenty of parking and seating and the service is always good and relatively fast. They have a lot of good happy hour deals during the weekdays. There is a big grassy area with a large screen that usually has Houston sports playing. There is also cornhole and other lawn games. Usually when I come, I get the Froses, which area always delicious and relatively inexpensive. All in all, this is a great bar for a casual drink (or several)!

Sitting here waiting on a friend, and see a couple embracing ... and I mean an EMBRACE... purse dripped on the sidewalk embrace. Great people watching seat near the door. The crowds just keep walking by. Traffic at the intersection is fun to watch, especially when those drivers gridlock the place. The beer is cold, easy parking and different music in the 1MC Friday is just starting and is looking fun. Drop by Kirbys for brews and views.

There is no food here. They do have food trucks. However, when it is slammed for any sports game (like the playoffs today), the trucks get very backed up and it's a SUPER long wait for the food. It's very much an ice house! If you want to just drink and watch some sports, this is great for you! But I tend to get hungry, so this wasn't the best for me.

Sat in and caught the Astros game and enjoyed self.Waitresses are stretched pretty thin but they managed to do okay .Drinks are always good and food carts have yet to fail me

Huge venue for watching the game, or playing games, but food? One truck? Seriously? During Saturday? One star sad. However bar was fantastic with professional attractive bartenders which, after some encouragement, could banter.

About a month ago we met some friends who took us to Kirby Ice House at the Woodlands. We were only in town for one evening and this location provided a very casual environment with a quick bite to eat at the food trucks. The guys grabbed us a cocktail (a margarita for me) from the large bar inside and some chips and guacamole from the food truck. We found a casual, clean and comfortable place to sit in order to have a conversation. They had one of the sports games playing on the large screen, which was visible from any seat on the large outdoor deck. It would be great if they had a larger variety of food carts (there was only one open the night we were there). I would come back again for a casual hang out.

BYOF. Bring Your Own Food or order. ChiveTV. Funny dog friendly misters and big screens outside. If you had to deal with the disrespectful heat in Houston the last couple of months and find yourself in the Woodlands then Kirby Ice House will be a welcome respite. The space is huge, the greeters are friendly, the bar staff is plenty and the beer is cold. The only thing I did not realize is that this is your original type of Ice House which means no food served, but wait.....Food Trucks are on the premises toward the rear patio area so no worries. You can also order food to be delivered or bring your own food. A nice place to hang out during some football, baseball, pickleball, tennis ball (you get the point) games and catch up with friends. Fans all around so you will feel a breeze.

Came here on Wednesday eve with a buddy for happy hour. Had no clue it was steak night in the food zone so I was in for a pleasant surprise. Let's start off with the drinks since that's this spot's bread & butter. They have a really good selection of on tap beers & will let you try anything. Because happy hour had specials on all Texas brews, I stayed in the Texas beers for the eve. I grabbed a Galveston Bay Blueberry Blonde, an Austin Eastciders Blood Orange Cider & something else the waitress suggested to me that I can recall. All were pretty good. My only gripe with this place which is why I give it 4 stars is that I'm not a big fan of the service. Our waitress Rihanna was nice & all but it felt like she was hounding us. If I had less than 1/2 of my glass left, she was coming to the table asking what we wanted next. I get it; that's your bread & butter. I just hate feeling pressured. Otherwise, this spot is decent. Side note: if you come on a Wednesday eve for steak night, the steak is top notch! The steak was amazing, perfectly cooked as I requested, nice searing & perfectly seasoned. It easily earned its way into the top 7 steaks I've had in my life. Plan to come on a Wednesday eve & you won't be disappointed.

Kirby Ice House is already one of my favorite watering holes in Houston, but Kirby Ice House in the Woodlands kicked it up a whole other notch! This place is gigantic. Parking is plentiful with a parking lot right there or you have the option of street parking around the area as well. The other two locations are set up the same way on different scales, but this location has a little bit of it's own character. Walking in, you got high ceilings and the place just keeps going all the way through. What sets this place apart compared to any other bar in Texas (yes I said Texas), is that they have the longest bar in the state. It starts at the front of the establishment and just keeps going about the length of the place. I've seen the longest in the country, but this one is pretty awesome. The staff was kind of just going with the flow, straight business. I get it, it's busy. I come to quench my thirst and they have a great selection of beer on tap as well as bottles. They got all the liquor needed to make your favorite cocktail as well as a few tasty frozen selections. Not only is the inside spacious, but they have a nice sized patio outside as well with lots of screens to watch sporting events. For food, like the other locations, they have different food trucks set up throughout the week if the hunger pangs hit. If this place was closer to home, I would be here alot. It's big enough to handle your whole squad. I will be back if in the area.

Fabulously huge. Something is going on on some TV for any sports fan. Not sure of the food situation, but they did have a food truck outside, not sure, but probably in most days they have more than one. We cannot wait to go back. I WOULD RECOMMEND

I am 22 and from Louisiana. I wanted to have a good time with some friends of mine and the bouncer refused to let me in because my ID was vertical and "sketchy". The guy took my ID to the back to check and took 10 minutes just to not let me in again...

My finance and I came there last week for drinks Elysse was so nice and so fun and gave us tons of fun recommendations. Cool spot if you are looking for a fun good environment.

Great new bar, yes it is huge! Plenty of beers and a few wines to choose from. Some cocktails, but would love to see them add to the selections. Daily's specials and food trucks help with variety. For such a big place the servers were super attentive. Large patio and plenty of tvs. Corn hole outside as well.

I enjoyed my time at Kirby ice house. The drinks were good & there was a lot of selection. We went on ladies night and enjoyed the $4 frozen rose (frosé) and the frozen Long Island iced tea. Both of the drinks were good. For the bar being as busy as it was, our waitress was really attentive. She checked up on us many times during our visit, and always made sure we had what we needed. It was a nice balance of checking in. Just enough (not too many times, but she was there when we needed). My only complaint is that the bar was really loud. Now this is to be expected (as it is an ice house) but i could barely hear my friends when we were sitting at the same table. But, I loved all of the pictures & overall ambiance of the bar. While the bar was really long, I was a little disappointed as it curved around. Still a cool thing to see though! Also - the water tasted amazing!!! My ratings: Would I go here again? Yes Would I go again with my friends? Probably Would I go again alone? No

Rachel was great. From the moment I walked in the door and sat down she walked up within a minute and asked what I wanted to drink. She was proactive and friendly every time she came by. I really appreciated her service during the games.

I was able to pop in at the Woodlands location the day after its opening, just in time for Thursday Night Football. The longest bar in Texas was filled from end to end! There was still a great deal of seating inside and outside. Most of the outside seating was taken by people who brought their pets, people who wanted to play cornhole, and people who wanted to enjoy the evening weather. I had two of the frozens (frose and frozen tea) which happen to be on sale each Thursday. They were both tasty and I recommend them both! The Lupe Tortilla food truck was on site to offer Tex-Mex. Our waitress mentioned that you can deliver in (as in Door Dash), which seems very convenient. The vibe was lively. I was surprised that I could actually hold a conversation in a room that was packed to capacity.

Extremely stoked that Kirby's Ice House deciding to bring their location to The Woodlands surrounding area! I've been to both Kirby's in the Houston area and it's always a good time but to know the Biggest Bar in Texas is now located in The Woodlands is amazing! Literally the bar is longggg and full of bartenders who are more than willing to fill your order! The interior of the establishment is extremely nice and massive with plenty of seating! And the patio is huge including tvs everywhere to be your sports headquarters! Also pet friendly to bring your furry four legged friend!!! The service at the bar was great and have a huge selection of beers on tap (56) and have just about every bottle of liquor imaginable to satisfy your quench. They do not have a restaurant but have a food truck every day in location. They do have steak night on Wednesdays so I'm actually going to leave that review next Wednesday with better pictures and review of the steak night. Their other two locations def have a good steak night and including $5 Texas whiskeys on Wednesdays! With that, I give this place a 10/10! Excuse my pictures but I will take better pictures next time I come! This will definitely be my local sport viewing headquarters since they also have a massive Jumbotron screen!

My husband and I took our date night opportunity away from our toddlers to try out this new spot in The Woodlands! I've passed by it so often awaiting for it to open and it was impressive! We came on a Friday night and I assumed it would be packed and parking would be a challenge but we didn't have any problems. The bar is amazing - apparently the longest bar in Texas - and they are so well staffed that we did not have to wait long to get a drink. Most weekdays they have some happy hour special going on. It was such a nice evening, we wanted to sit outside and there's a ton of covered and uncovered space to enjoy your drink outdoors. They have lots of screens so sports game viewing from any area of the space is easy. They had a few food trucks for food options. Cannot complain about our first experience here. Next kid-free date night (it's 21+ only) , we will have to come back!

Probably one of the better bars and all the Woodlands drinks are good. Selection is great. It's crowded on peak times, but the place is large and accommodating.

Great service and good food trucks. Fun place to get together with friends or watch a game.

Fun experience to watch your favorite college football team play. Our team lost, but it was an overall "win" considering the fun vibe, good service, and great beer selection. Oh yeah- there's 60+ TVs and the staff is good about making sure your group has at least one TV to watch.

The music sucks here !!! I'm currently here on a Saturday night and the music is some of the worse I've ever heard for a bar on a Saturday night !!! Do not come here if you like good music

Ellyse is the best server at kirby's ice house. she's super attentive and never let our drinks go empty. compared to other service i've had here, Ellyse is elite.

One of my favorite spots for happy hour or a chill night out! Went here last week with some coworkers for the Thursday happy hour deal ($4 frozen drinks)! The frozen iced tea was really good, and so was the froze.

Just moved back here from Dallas super cool spot with tons of space. Our server Ellyse recommended a syrawberry martini and was super interactive and fun 10/10 def will be coming back!!

So excited to have a location on the north side of town. The location is pretty easy to get in and out of which is nice since it is right next to the mall. They have a very spacious inside and outside seating area. Food trucks set up outside and a dog area. Bar had pretty good drinks although the margarita I got was not a margarita....

We had so much fun watching college football at Kirby Ice House. We loved the variety of drink options and tried several beers and cocktails. The staff was welcoming and our server Alyse was so much fun.

They didn't have a lot of selection in terms of cocktails, but if you want a beer this is your place. Also food was mostly all fried... so I didn't really care for that. It's a good gathering place for groups and there was plenty of space for my group of 10.

I heard about that is huge! And it is. with a bar spanning 141 feet.however a success bussines is more than a Brand, equipment or location. Customers are hungry to enjoy beautiful Xperience, Memories to remember, to talks soup, histories to shares with others. In my first visit. We ask for a Mojito ñ, and I have to ask to fix Three times, everybody running in a Rush, it doesn't have any Sense because must be prepared for that.

GREAT PLACE TO WATCH A GAME or NOT and just have some cold beers hangout with friends and toss some bags. While in town for the week on business, we found our way back to Kirby's every night, had a great time. A little lite handed on the pours it felt like when we wavered from beer other than that NO COMPLAINTS. This is a FANTASTIC setup to watch games and just hangout.

Good atmosphere but the drink fees are actually insane. I regularly get charged 18 dollars for what is effectively water. Of course saying anything is met with a harsh attitude. I've walked on a tab before, definitely saw over 20% given it was only a beer. Food trucks rock though!

Concur with another review. Service is HORRIBLE. Wish I'd read before I visited here. I sat for close to 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. I sat at the bar. How do bar tenders just totally ignore you when you're sitting right I didn't of them, in their line of sight?!? It wasn't that busy either. "Katie" was the bartender and she seemed annoyed to wait on anyone. No smile. No customer service demeanor. Just a "what do you want?" attitude. Katie confirmed it was a slow night. Won't be coming back. One and done.

A fun sports bar in the woodlands that has a great seating area to catch up with friends. However the staff isn't the friendliest and I think the drinks are a tad overpriced for what they are.

great vibes and great bar ! thank you to our bartender Jen, she was fantastic and took care of us !

Solid place that's very big and had pretty good customer service for all the people and the size. Didn't get a chance to try the food but if we go back will try next time. Good place to hang out with a good group of friends.

Huge bar with really comfortable bar stools! We had great service and they were very generous with their pours! It is very clean and there is not a bad seat in the house for watching sports. Games to play and food truck for eats!

Great selection of beers, with friendly servers. They don't have a kitchen, but there are usually a couple of food truck on site if you're hungry. Fun, lively atmosphere with plenty of TV's to watch the games.

Cool bar in the heart of The Woodlands. Stopped here with some co workers for some beers and to watch some basketball. A really nice facility with a lot of space. Wide open with a lot of TVs. Service was good, no complaints. Huge beer selection. We had dinner before, so we didn't try any food. By the time we came by it was late on a weeknight so it wasn't too crowded. When we walked by on the way to dinner it was packed. Seems like a popular happy hour spot. Next time I am in town I'll make it a point to go by for happy hour.

This place has the absolute worst wait staff i have ever come across. The waitress ignore you (the waitress we had today) or they're just standing around behind the bar mingling w each other and their manager. One of the busiest bar days is St Patricks Day. They were not super busy at all and getting service still was horrible. I had to go to the bar and order. The bartender was nice but they have to be fed up with the wait staff not doing their part Wouldn't be surprised if this place closes down because the food trucks likely make more revenue than the bar, due to wait staff.

Service was abysmal. Our server was transferred to a big party after we had been there about an hour and the handoff did NOT occur until my buddy finally got someone's attention after trying to flag down 5 different workers. I think the manager failed miserably and his apology was weak at best. I am giving two stars because I like the huge selection of beers and the venue, but poor work by the manager killed the service so we'll go elsewhere in the future.

Nice place. Can be busy, so at times service can be slow. Great atmosphere. Lots of area to sit. Had good food trucks. TVs everywhere for sporting events.

Good hangout spot to get a drink with friends. Nothing fancy, just an open bar with lots of seating inside and outside and friendly staff.

The place is super cool don't get me wrong, but here me out. We had 3 mixed shots and 2 mixed drinks and NONE of us had a buzz. Literally NONE of us. We were all flabbergasted because none of us were feeling anything. The place is really cool, I'm just hoping they are serving alcohol and not doing some weird social experiment to get people to order mass amounts of drinks to run up their tabs because they aren't feeling a buzz, i.e. servers making more $$$ and same with bartenders. If this is the case, shame on yall.

We need more trendy places in The Woodlands. Kirby ice house has ample seating, indoor and outdoor bar areas, and plenty of open air for dogs and smokers alike. There are tv's on almost every wall and one food truck during the week to eat from. You can also order food to be delivered or bring food from home. We loved that it's 21+ only. The improvement that needs to be made is with the staff. There are plenty of waitstaff but they aren't consistently attentive or chipper. We came on a Monday evening and waited for quite awhile in between drinks before someone came and asked if we needed/wanted a refill. At one point our friend received the wrong beer and inquired about it, to which the waitress shrugged and handed him the check to pay. This place is rather new so I imagine they will iron out the kinks with staff.

It would be great if my server didn't blow me off after I told her I had GLASS SHARDS in my drink. My first experience here was amazing. This last time was awful.

Had a great time here. Plenty of T.V.'s to watch sports. Inside and outside seating. Great bartenders, never was left waiting for service. They don't serve food but host food trucks. I'll be back!

First time at Kirby's Ice House tonight. We sat in the outdoor section under heaters and it was glorious! Our waitress Maddie was awesome and we were never without drinks! We did get hungry around the 7th inning and had to Uber popcorn so highly recommend bringing your own snacks! They have food trucks, but we were just wanting something to munch on, not a whole mean. We will definitely be back! Great night and go 'Stros!

Came on a Sunday with some drink specials. Cold beer and nice cocktails! We will be back, especially for a birthday since we can bring outside food and so much seating this was a fun experience much.

Everything is great about this place from the decor to the largest bar in Texas. There is plenty of room whether you want to sit at the bar, table, inside or outside and even lounge in some comfy patio couches. We were able to watch the Astros game on the big screen outside but there isn't one single view that doesn't have a TV view. The variety of food trucks for the day was great and I also love you can order food from outside vendors thru door dash or Uber eats. I do believe the age limit is 23 and older. Oh did I mention they are a dog friendly facility.
