Lucy Cooper's Ice House

Awesome place. Laid back and friendly. It's my new hangout-for-a-beer spot. Plus, meeting Lucy was the highlight of my week. I highly recommend it.

Couple coworkers and I looking for a place to grab beers and wound up eating dinner here and then staying later for the Astros/Rangers game. And it was on a Tuesday meaning Tuesday's $2.25 bottles. How lucky we got on that!Food-wise, this is a burger/wing/bar food place but there's some southern dishes (mostly fried) that are unique that I wish most other places would start serving. Couple appetizers we tasted were the fried green tomatoes and the chicken fried deviled eggs. Both were simply awesome. The tomatoes were fried nicely with a tasty seasoned batter. Never thought about frying deviled eggs but it was better than I could imagine with the eggs being tender with a crunch and topped with the pickled onions.As for entrees, we all ordered wings. I got naked wings (big red), the other got breaded (luchador - lemon pepper mixed with buffalo) and the other got boneless (lemon pepper). The wings weren't bad, the big red flavor was practically a cinnamon-ey red sweet sauce, like the big red gum. Both the other guys enjoyed the lemon pepper and luchador. I noticed the boneless and breaded wings were much larger than mine. Maybe it's cause I had the naked wings so they weren't inflated. Next time I'll go with a different style if it's gonna be bigger. Also was disappointed they were out of some wing flavors such as the alabama slammer and dr. pepper. Not sure how that happens. Some other sandwich and burger items were crossed out on our menu meaning they were sold out. Is this normal?I read a lot about the drinks/cocktails and them being watered-down. While they looked tasty, the waitress mentioned Tuesdays were $2.25 bottles so we loaded up on those. For miller lite, coors light, and bud light, all bottles are $2.25 on Tuesday; not bad since I enjoy drinking for cheap. They do different happy hour deals each day so depending on what your mood is, plan ahead.Service at the table was a bit lacking since there was only 1 or 2 servers running around. After we finished eating, we moved to the bar area where service was a bit better although most people had already cleared out. The bartender was nice. I mentioned I was collecting bottle caps for an arts/crafts project and she gave me all the ones she was about to discard. Definitely appreciate that.The ambiance it a friendly southern warehouse vibe with cool photos and the layout is some tables/benches with high top trio seating and the bar in the middle. There's also outdoor seating as well. Trivia takes place here, definitely on Tuesdays and some other days. Plus plenty of tvs for sports. Pretty much a bar that defines fun for young and middle-aged people. No doubt I'll be frequenting this when I'm back in San Antonio. Hoping they'll have their items back on the menu!

Food was so so not impressed. Service was okAmbiance nice. Clean place would I come back no Chill"s better burgers lol !!

I had won a $25 gift card from @lucycoopersicehouse and we went to visit for dinner tonight. It was hopping with people and Shannon took care of us. First time to sit indoors. I hadn't noticed the pool table before.Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had the Sangria Rita with popsicle, and I had the Smokey Sunrise. We ordered the Onion Ring Basket, Coca Cola BBQ Wings, and Ultimate Hawaiian Pizza to share. Hubby and I shared the Lola's Burger. So much good food! Plenty to take home. Dad kept eating the pizza, he enjoyed it so much. Love the variety of menu items.They're part of the San Antonio Restaurant Gold Club. I had already used up the 2 perks here before. One of the times was for the Tin Can Nachos....yum!

Well, the margaritas were a little bit small, they were very good on national margarita day. We came here with some friends to have a light dinner and drinks and celebrate my friends. Great review!We had burgers and fried pickles, and everything was very good. Drinks were good but like I said a little bit on the small side for the price. But all in all the nice experience.

I'm still working on improving my review skills. I don't know the name of the person who took care of us, but she was THE BEST! Honest recommendations and she was just so cool. Lots of beer on tap. I had a milk stout, and we shared the 2 hot dogs and fries happy hour special. There was a big group of nice looking guys on the back patio, which is something I'm never opposed to. Fun happy hour. I'd go back!

AMAZING tacos! We came for taco tuesday...ground beef tacos were bomb! My aunt said the shrimp ones were bomb as well. The drinks are great too!

The food is good and they give lots of variety. We tried the following:Fried Mac n Chez: Unusual and tasteful. A meal in itself. Very good flavor and top off with a good rasberry like sauce.Korean BBQ WIngs: A tad spicy and tasty.Cup of Gumbo: Excellent. It also comes with its tiny bottle of tabasco, but I would say the flavoring of the gumbo is good enough. Side with the gumbo are some saltine crackers that are spiced up and toasted that make it absolutely flavorful to eat on their own.Drinks: River Water and Boodreaux Punch. Both very good drinks.Service was superb - Niki was always checking on us and ensuring we were doing fine.Ambiance - It was bingo night that started at 8PM. We were there about 6PM. This was the main thing that brought my rating down. - First, water was not served since it was bingo night, if you wanted water you could pay for bottled water only.- Someone, appeared like the bingo person, was prepping the stage mics for the bingo and they kept up/down the volume of the music. I may be wrong who did it, but none the less it was very annoying it went from a very high volume to low. This went on for about 1/2 an hour. ANNOYING. I will say the different TVs and the music videos were excellent when played at a normal level. I definitely would return to this place. The menu offers great choices. I believe wherever I sat I would not be able to avoid the loud playing of music if someone was playing with the volume. However, once adjusted I think the volumen is normal for an ice house.

Best bar in San Antonio I really recommend this spot The service is amazing Shannan is amazing and I I hope everyone checks it out

Summary: Would recommend for the ambience and creative food offerings that are typically well executed. Bring your friends!Additional detail:We frequently come here on Sundays during football season for the ambience and typically higher quality food compared to other sports bars. Service is usually good. Some of the best onion rings we've found and the tin can nachos are a personal favorite (fresh jalapeños!). We've had a few misses with things like chicken fried ribs (too tough) and a chicken sandwich (overcooked to the point it had to be returned).
