Ice House Taproom was a fantastic spot! The atmosphere was great, with an awesome vibe and great music that made for a fun and relaxing experience. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and made some delicious drinks.

We also tried the wings, burgers, and tacos, and every dish was excellent. Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and definitely hit the mark. Between the food, drinks, and welcoming atmosphere, this is a place we’d happily visit again. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“This is more of a clubhouse than a bar. It's a nice place for the residents of One Club but I wouldn't recommend it as bar for the public to visit. I visited on a Saturday night and they had line dancing lessons. I would think they would have this during the afternoon and not during the night when people just want to drink, listen to good music,and have a good time. The only thing that was great was the service. Cha Cha was one of the best bartenders I've experienced in the area.“

“The hideaway is great! A variety of options.

Their pizza is amazing! It is so good that I came twice during our trip! We came for our baseball teams tournament trip. We had a team dinner and ordered 12 pizzas to go. They were accommodating, timely and helpful! Their pizza was also consistently good. All the pizza was great and was a hit for both the adults and players. The bar tenders were kind and helpful with our to go orders!

Their pizza I ordered and loved was the large three topping pizza with bell peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes.

If you are in town you should definitely go or order to go!“
