One of the things I like about travel in general is learning new things. When we were in San Antonio, I read about establishments that sounded like bars, but were called icehouses. It sounded like a Texas version of a dive bar.
I didn’t really think much of it until Lynne and Jerry invited us to join them at the icehouse in Albert, Texas, which is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from their RV site at the state park.
If you’d like to learn more about icehouses in general, check out this article on the Texas Highways website. Basically, they are a kind of dive bar and are typical in this part of Texas.
Imagine how cool it would be to hang out in the yard on a pleasantly warm evening below that massive Live Oak tree that’s hung with strings of outdoor lights. That would definitely be relaxing.
We said goodbye to our friends, Lynne and Jerry, at the Albert Icehouse. We definitely enjoyed our visit with them and are hoping to cross paths again later this year.
I *also* recently learned of and went to my first icehouse when I was in Houston recently. It looked really similar to your pictures. I enjoyed it!
Cool! Nice to know you’ve experienced that, too. It was an interesting place to hang out. I’d love to be there in the evening when the lights on the tree are illuminated.
It was fun introducing you guys to Albert, and our temporary home in the Hill Country!
Safe travels, and we’ll see you down the road!
It was a fun spot to hang out. 😊 We could see why you guys liked going there. We look forward to seeing you both again in the near future.
