Strokers Ice House

One of the most colorful haunts we have visited in Dallas. Close to Dallas Love airport. An eclectic & cool vibe 😎 with an expansive seating area [inside & out]. The burgers 🍔 were some of the best! The rich history with Rick Fairless, his family & Southwest Airlines adds to the charm! We had the pleasure of talking at length with Rick. He was both welcoming & engaging. We will definitely return when we get back to Dallas!

We came just for the Captain Nemo's steak and cheese sub. Although the wife and I have been here several times before. The sandwich DID NOT DISAPPOINT. It wasnt EXACTLY the same, but pretty dam close. It was a 6 inch instead of the Nemo's 8 inch. The bread was pretty close to the same too. The hot sauce was the same as I remember it being. My only complaint, the cook got a little heavy handed with the salt. The wife and I will definitely be back as often as possible. Thank you Rick for bringing back the ICONIC Nemo's sub!!!!

Awesome burgers, amazing staff, super cool atmosphere. Had not been to Strokers since the 90's, and it is still such and amazing place.

They recently added a sandwich that was iconic to those of us who live or used to live in Irving. The Captain Nemo’s sizzling steak and cheese. My dad started eating that sandwich when he was in high school back in the 70’s and I grew up eating it and it was my all time favorite meal. I shed literal tears when I saw Captain Nemo’s was closing. I thank strokers for doing their best to bring it back, I know it can’t be replicated but they did a great job with it! Eating it with my dad definitely brought back a lot of memories and I was ecstatic that they even included the signature hot sauce with it! The sandwich was great, probably about 80-85% of the way to the original which is still delectable. But not only that the bartender/waitress there was so incredibly friendly and joyful it was like she came from a fairy tale, she really made it an amazing experience. I definitely would recommend going out to strokers and trying the Captain Nemo’s sandwich for yourself.

Close to Dallas Love airport. I will always stop here if I have some time before flight. Cool history with owner.

Very cool place. Lots of fun. Great burgers. Even if you don't own a Harley (full disclosure, I don't own a bike at all) please don't be intimidated by the label "Biker Bar". Strokers is a very laid-back place. Everyone is friendly and chill and just trying to have a good time. If you go there, I promise you'll have a good time, too.

Take the tour! This place is full of great memories! Family is very friendly and receptive. Awesome!!

We love Stroker's, they are always so welcoming and knowledgeable about their beautiful motorcycles. The Grands had a wonderful time. We literally stayed for 2 hours.

I had been wanting to visit this location since the mid 90's when it originally open as "Easyriders Dallas". We were traveling back from The Gulf of America and decided to stop in to see some awesome custom bikes and have a beer with a burger. We had a nice bartender that served us well. The whole atmosphere of the place was so much more than I expected. I will definitely stop in again when traveling through Dallas.

Beer, Bikes & Food available here at Strokers. Great and fun location to grab a cold beer Only have draft on house beer. All others are bottles or cans. Parking is smaller for bigger trucks, we parked in the parking lot next to the location. Open late like 2am late.

Still an amazing place with excellent food, love the outdoor seating .very friendly staff, highly recommended, they have a lot going on Saturdays music and bikes etc.. go check it out before winter

Only thing missing was the people. Insanely good band. Great vibes. Cold beer. Great outdoor environment. Coming back next week with a crew.

This place is great for lunch. They've always got a good special, friendly bartenders and staff, lots of cool stuff to look at. Decent pool tables. Fun, friendly crowd. Primarily American iron but if you show up on the rice burner nobody's going to throw shade. I ride my Suzuki crotch rocket up there all the time and I've never felt any hate. Just a bunch of cool laid-back people and good food. Highly recommend.

Typical biker bar, large outdoor area. Very friendly barkeep. If you ride Steele horses or not this is definitely a place to stop near Dallas love airport.

Great bar, food, and atmosphere! Strokers is a go to spot when I'm out on the Harley or wanting to grab a drink and some grub with some friends after work. Bartenders are always polite and the service is on point every time I visit. Their burgers are good sized, made fresh to order, and have multiple options to spice up the flavors! Highly recommend checking out this Dallas staple! Bike days on the weekend are a blast! Live music, vendors, and a whole mess of different folks from different strokes! Cheers!

What an amazing find! Every time I am back in Dallas, this charming, eclectic dive bar with THE coolest bike shop/museum next door will be on our list! The bartenders were so fun and polite. Very quick and responsive. Loved the locals there. Fun playing pool and looking at all the interesting memorabilia on the walls and otherwise. Can't wait to go back!

Cool biker bar with live music and where else can you get a fried balogne sandwich? Make sure to check out the bike shop next door. Worth the 15 minutes to check it out.

Great selection of bar food, better than adequate drink selection, friendly people, amazing decor & atmosphere. Bring your best biker babe in here for a great time!

Fantastic place especially if you're a biker. There are motorcycle enthusiast from all walks of life and it is like a trip to a bike rally with lots of friends, good food, good drinks, music, right here in Central Dallas.

Awesome place to have lunch . I use stop in on the weekends with my bike. I hear the place is pretty darn crowded nowadays on the weekends but definitely go there for lunch . The service is excellent the burgers are awesome the atmosphere is CHEERS The TV show everybody is so friendly there you will never find another place like this in the metroplex

Went here on a whim and will definitely be returning. Elle made us feel like we weren't total idiots for showing up 10 minutes before closing. If you're looking for a fun place to get a drank (or 10) in this area with live music and great food definitely swang on by!

What's not to love . It's a nice biker bar with great food , friendly service and a wonderful atmosphere! If you haven't been , I recommend you stop by and enjoy !

Best afternoon burger and coldest beer. The best place to stop. , cool down and rest before getting back into the wind.

Great spot to grab a beer with friends! Live music and food to snack on. Everyone is so friendly.

Had dinner at Strokers. Strokers Burger with cheese was very good, lots of flavor. We had wings, which were very crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside. They came with a hot sauce and ranch to dip each wing. The bar tender was very nice. We ordered at the bar and she brought out food out to us. We got to try Strongbow Hard Apple Cider and Vanilla Crown Royal. Liked both.

Great food, great service & Amazing atmosphere can't wait to come back to enjoy one their many events here! plenty of pool tables and the other game shuffle board! I love the psychedelic murals and unique ink and piercing place next door

WARNING: If you are "scared" of motorcycle clubs, do not come here. BUT, if you want an awesome grilled bologna sandwich, you should totally come here. I had a couple nights in the DFW area while checking out the Texas State Fair, and found this spot on Yelp. It looked like a fun place to have dinner on a Saturday night, so I caught my Lyft and went on over. It's a pretty easy place to find, so you should have no problem getting there. And there's plenty of parking for cars out front. But if you're bringing a chopper, then head on to the back and join the rest of the MANY bikes lined up and show off yours! For dinner, I had the highly recommended Grilled Bologna Sandwich with Cheese and a couple Miller Lites. The price for everything was pretty cheap: less than $20. That sandwich was SO good and nostalgic! It had some THICK cut of bologna, so you should be pretty full after having one. My kudos to the cook in the back for making something so simple yet satisfying to my soul. This must be THE meeting spot for the MCs in North Texas because there were so many people here! Most were outside hanging out, but you had a few inside listening to music and playing pool on one of their several tables. But I decided to take my beer outside after my sandwich and just look at all the bikes. It really made me wish I'd hurry up and get my license so I can buy one and begin cruising. And one more kudos to the bartender, Denise, for making me feel so comfortable there, even though I probably looked like a fish out of water. :-)

I love this place on the weekends! Over the years Stroker's has become one of the places that you have to visit when you are in Dallas Texas. It's going to Graceland when you are in Memphis. Besides being a really fun bar and grill with great food, Stroker's patios and court yard areas are full of custom motorcycles and hot rods that you and your friend can admire while having a beer and listening to some good old rock and roll. This defiantly a place you will return to.

Just had lunch there, coming back for Sunday festivities. Awesome place with lots of cool atmosphere. For all you big babies out there..bikers aren't gonna getcha!

We were just passing through and searched reviews for a good burger place. Strokers did not let us down!! The bartender was super and the burgers were great!!

True rock bar. Can't find these too many places these days. Chicken wings are amazing Service is great as always. I always feel like I'm back in the 80s.

Love Strokers! We have been going here for years and love riding our bikes in for all to see. That's what you do there. You people and bike watch and that's what it's about well other than drinking and eating. One day my husband and I stopped in and they were taping Ma's Roadhouse a few years back and they asked us to be on the show. It was the episode where Ma was in a cooking contest between a Japanese Knife chef and Ma making a hamburger. It was fun, we were stars for a day... It's a destination where you can be you and feel bad ass for a few minutes. Even if you do not ride in they have lots of parking for cars so go and people watch for a bit. Also great place to take folks when they come in town to visit, but leave the kids at home. It's not a place for them. See you soon!

Sandra is THE BEST COOK HANDS DOWN!!! CJ came thru with the drinks, I love the atmosphere and the customer service. I'm from out of state but every time I come to Dallas, I will be put stopping here......... ALWAYS!!!

Great fun menu and food. No microwave crap. Lots to see and enjoy. Bands, events and more to keep entertained

Uh oh, mama forgot her leather chaps! No worries, they will still serve you at Strokers, a rather odd bike shop/tattoo parlor/burger place on Harry Hines. It's two seconds from my place of work, but for some reason it took me ten months to get here. It's a nice change of atmosphere (especially if you work a corporate job.) I felt a little out of place in my sundress and sweater set, but Strokers did not judge me. What's good here? Burgers. Duh. But you know what's effed up? NO DEEP FRYER. That means no fries. You get stinkin' potato chips. But that means you can get bacon and cheese on your burger and not feel guilty. And the buns were grilled, which is a detail I always appreciate. Other bonuses: the booty art on the wall. If you love tacky bike posters with Double D's and cut-off denim shorts, you will be in heaven. Even the women's restroom has some Double D delight. I don't know what it's like at night...I'm a little scared, and a little intrigued. There's a "mustache ride" joke in here somewhere, but I refuse to lower myself to that kind of lowbrow humor. (Get it? LOWER MYSELF? Haha!) Grilled buns.

If you're looking for a place to have lunch with a group larger than 3, probably best to go elsewhere. Not because they don't have the seating space - they have that in spades - but the kitchen is tiny and it takes a long time to get food out. By tiny I mean smaller than a 10x10 room staffed with one cook who is trying her best, but with such a tiny space and a huge pile of orders you can only do so much to get things out in a hurry. That said, the food was fine. On the level of bar food for a bar with no real kitchen. My sandwich was tasty enough, but maybe a bit on the expensive side for what it was. If you want beer in bottles/cans or liquor, and to lounge in the sun on picnic tables, then Strokers will probably do you good.

I work nearby and decided to stop by Stroker's for lunch one day. Was a bit worried about being out of place, but everyone was so friendly! The bartender (Theresa) made me feel welcome and asked about my day. Made me valued, and definitely insured that I would come back. I had a fried bologna sandwich, fries and a beer, and it was definitely worth the trip out of the office. Relatively cheap, too. Now I'm super curious to see how the late night crowd is, but I think I'll stick to lunch for a while and get to know some of the people who work there a little better before I get too adventurous.

My friends and I go here frequently and it's great! From the front it looks like a shady biker gang bar, but once you go in, you see a cool bar environment with a lot of history in there. But that's only a small part of the place. Go out the back doors to find a huge open area with tables, and outdoor bar, more cool old school decor, and a live music stage. They do events and have live music for holidays like St Patrick's day and it's always a great time. The food is very greasy, but still generally tasty, and good drinking food. I love the jalapeño poppers, and mozzarella sticks. The bartenders are great, they are always fun, and on top of things.

Two stars because a group of 9 ordered at 12 noon and at 1:15 burger 9 is finally at the table. The burger was good. But for a lunch time bite to eat... I would pass. Do come eat when you have time to drink and wait for food. Hopefully I can bump this review higher on next visit. But we dont have 1 plus lunches

I recently visited Strokers for lunch. While my burger and fries were very good, the wait was entirely too long. Everyone in our group of 9 experienced a lengthy wait time in getting their food. I waited an hour and fifteen minutes. Again, very tasty burger but not an hour and fifteen minutes good. This would totally be a good spot to eat and drink with friends after work.

Strokers is a great Biker joint! Friendly people, terrific live music, cold beer, and dive bar food. Gorgeous bartenders. Tons of Harley's everywhere you look. The performance stage is out back. Who could ask for more? A tattoo, perhaps? Yeah, they got that, too. Right next to the stage is a small tattoo studio. As I say, it's all about the experience, and Strokers is terrific!

Awesome burgers, atmosphere and laid back bikers. Great place to have a few cold beers and look at bikes.

This is THE quintessential biker bar, without having to worry about whether you rode or not. Being from Florida, our bike is obviously at home. There are no bad looks or issues if you get out of four doors or off two. We got there just before 7:00 (which is when the actual Strokers closes) and have enough time to check out the Victories and custom choppers, and buy a couple tee shirts. We then headed to the Icehouse and got a couple drinks and ordered food. The hubs had a burger, I had the Janis Joplin Club and we split some wings. The wings are, hands down, some of the best ever! Full of flavor and crispy. Fries are fresh cut and seasoned to where you don't need ketchup. The bikes are great, beers cold, and you can even get a tattoo on-site! We will definitely be back!

Would recommend to anyone that's into the bikes pretty melo vibe drinks some beers down have a good time

Great place to get a burger and a beer! Staff was friendly and the food was AWESOME!

don't be intimidated that it is thought as a biker bar. Everyone welcome without a doubt.. You need to try this plAce sometime. You too, will enjoy yourself! I guarantee it. And you can browse thru the various other shops at this laid back leftover from a memorable period in time.

Real deal Biker bar. Went there for lunch but would never go any other time of the day. Great prices especially with BOGO burgers; not very tasty....very average. We got there first but still had a fairly long wait. Fed a whole Team for $75 though!

This place is awesome. The food is really good and the bartender/waitress is really nice. I highly recommend this place.

This place was interesting! I liked that there was outdoor seating. It was very casual since it was picnic tables. Atmosphere was different than what I'm used to. You might feel a little uncomfortable if you're not a biker. We felt a little out of place. I didn't like how loud it was when we were trying to eat outside and people were leaving on their loud bikes. Bikers could ride their bikes and park them right into the back where people are eating. The food was not as good as I had expected for being a 4 star rating. I got the West way burger. It was basically a cheeseburger on Texas toast with thousand island. It was wayyy too much dressing on the burger. The fries were also very bland. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because the popcorn was a 5! It was hot and fresh, unlike most stale bar popcorns. Service was also not great. The lady bartender did NOT want to be there. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for a place that had 4 stars!

I absolutely LOVE this place. They always take care of their customers! We came here today to celebrate my Dad's birthday.....and he passed away 2 years ago but Strokers always remembers him. Thank you guys for helping us celebrate him.... we you! Strokers will always be important to us. We love you! XO! Thank you so much for being great to us!!

Short and sweet: - Teresa, the bartender/server is great. Food sucked. The place is cool and I enjoyed being there, right up until a sucky band came in (at 1PM) and asked me to move so that they could do some sort of podcast. It wouldn't of been so bad if they didn't suck so bad.

We went there mostly to check out the live music scene. We loved the hippie decorations and '60s atmosphere - the Bears felt right at home. A little tattoo parlor is next to the stage, so you can get inked while you listen. You can ride your Harley right up to the picnic tables in back and park. Lots and lots of room in the outside patio. The burgers are legendary, and the beer is ice-cold. Not much in the way of taps, though; most brews are in the bottle. Mrs. Bear liked the sandy shuffleboard game inside the bar. If you get there while the sun is still up, check out the bike shop next door. One of the best I've ever seen. Mrs. Bear loved the biker boutique with the leathers and tie-dyed shirts. So even if you're not a biker, this is a really cool place to get a burger and a cold one, and listen to local live music on weekends.

Went here last night. The place looked small from the outside and with the "biker" theme I was a little nervous. I LOVE the funky art work, quirky statues, and awesome artwork carved tables. When we walked in the place was clean, full of very nice looking people, and smoke free! I am liking this place! We got drinks and they were fabulous! The band rocked and I have to say i had the BEST TIME!!! I really like this place!

Yeah, so....I found myself in a biker bar on Halloween. To understand the irony, you'll need to know that one of my favorite clothing stores is Ann Taylor. So, that explains a lot. We met some friends here before heading to a party. My bf was trying to tell me before we left the house that I might consider a different outfit (what, I can't wear pearl necklaces and a cute sweater?). We pulled into the parking lot and I immediately said, "there is no way I can go in there dressed like this". He laughs... So I took off the sweater and went with the pearls and lacy camisole look and I'll tell you, while I felt slightly intimidated walking in, I was fine. We went outside and met our friends, I drank some beer, listened to a cool rockabilly band, people watched, and all in all had a good time. I think it's one of those "all are welcome" places where anything goes. Fine with me!

Great atmosphere, ice cold beer, excellent food and a great staff! One of a kind place. Huge patio with lots to look at. Good people watching.

Oh yeah... burgers, bike and bitches... pool tables and beer. This place is next to a fine Harley shop and smells like heaven as you pull in the parking lot. The burger was ok, but those fries were like crack. Plenty of booze to choose from and a half nekked bartender in the middle of the day. I popped in for lunch and liked all the sexual harassment on the walls. This place would have to be a people watching madhouse at night and on the weekends for sure! It's fine pub grub, but the carved tables and benches (all unique), outside patio area and just to f'n cool atmosphere are a must!

Strokers Ice House is the definition of a bikers bar; dark, somewhat rundown, people doing some heavy drinking at lunch time. What else could you ask for, right? Well how about some great food! I got the Dagwood, but I have to say Ma's grilled bologna looked pretty tempting (I'll give it a try next time). The Dagwood was great!! It's was huge; three slices of grilled Texas toast topped off with bacon, ham, turkey, lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo. If I hadn't of decided to pig out it definitely could have been a two meal sandwich. All baskets come with some potato salad, pickles, and a bag of chips. The food is pretty inexpensive, with the exception of the Dagwood ($10, of course I got the most expensive item, damn!), and fall under the $10 mark. Since I went for lunch during my work day I am unable to comment on beer/liquor prices at this time but check back for an update later. I can't tell you how many times I have driven by here in my daily work routine, I was talking to a manager at the office and he said I had to try it. So today was the day that I decided to hell with it let's go. I've got to admit that I was a little apprehensive because all I've heard is that Strokers is a SERIOUS biker bar only. Well that is not the case, I saw everyone in there from bikers to CEO's. Give it a try and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
