Catty Corner Ice House

Christmas lights hanging under the bar nearly gave my buddy a seizure and when he asked if they could be unplugged the bartender laughed and went about her business. Honestly, I wasn't even mad at her for the response. It's a dive bar after all. If you shun good beer and prefer buckets of Miller light and other cheap beer, this is the place for you. No frills, interesting patrons from all walks of life, and an attentive bartender. The bathrooms were also way less hellish than what I expected, so that was a plus. In a city full of $16 cocktails and $8 beer, this place is a rarity and should be supported. I only went because a friend had fond memories of the place, but I'd take someone if they asked for a gritty dive bar. It's one step above a place like Hunter's pub and much less likely to catch hepatitis or get stabbed here. 8/10 I would do it again.

This is a quintessential neighborhood ice house/bar. A very causal place to join friends for beer, that is a bud or dos equis, don't think to ask for a craft IPA.

A buddy of mine usually DJ's at this place every once in a while. So whenever he plays I try and make my way out there for support. I mean at first glance you think it looks like a house. Which I think it once was a house but now its an ice house. The place is spacious and the patio is nice. Ive been here a few times and every time I visit the pool tables are free. Yes some of the ball are missing, therefore you will sometimes find maybe two 1 balls or 7's whatever the situation might be with the right number written on the ball. If you are like me and don't drink any beer, then this place is not for you. There is another pub down the street but I can't recall the name. I mean either bring a flask or have a few before you make your way out here. Another thing that some might find difficult is parking. The actually customer parking is either the street or the few spaces in front of the ice house. Ive had it to where somebody blocked me in, so I had to tell the DJ to make an announcement for a particular vehicle to be moved. Catty Corner Ice House is a good place to go unwind, have a few and play a few games of pool. I see myself coming back in the future.

This a neat old-school ice house. Located just north of the Heights district in Houston, it's a cool little place to go hang out, have some suds and shoot some 8-ball. If you are looking for a swanky club for a first date, this is not the place for you.Catty Corner is a jeans and cowboy boots, old, smoky ice house kind of a place. I love it... It's the kind of place you can just hang out in with no worries in the world. No one knows your name and no one cares. It's just laid back, rustic and relaxing. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have free poolThey have a minimal beer selection but the prices are goodThey have a good juke box full of a good variety of music, including country, Pop, Tejano, old school rap and hip-hop. I could hang out here every week.

good food watch cj stroud masterclass good drinks got yammer but needs some food!!! asked owner he said in the works.. excited!!

Amanda gave great service and really enjoyed the time spent despite the Houston heat and humidity. A good spot to kick back and watch sports. I'd come back the next visit to Houston .

First time at this place and had a great time. Free pool and there was also free hotdogs and burgers on a Thursday during the Astros game. Also great service from bartender. Perfect place to watch the games! I will always come back every time I'm in town. Definitely a must!

My friend's drink fell through a hole in the table. I was told we would have to pay to replace it, despite the many holes in this one table. Overpriced and bad service. Thanks for nothing.

Place gives us good drinks, and was a great place to watch the Astros lose to the Phillies 7-0!! Haha, cheaters deserve it! Good drinks though.

Awesome down to earth atmosphere with great bartenders, cheap drinks and friendly faces!
