"We’re so excited to finally be a part of the vibrant Woodlands community,” said partners Danny Evans and Russ Morgan. “This is a prime location with incredible proximity to residences, businesses, hotels and attractions, and the casual indoor/outdoor format is a perfect match for the relaxed vibe of the area. We look forward to being a central, neighborhood-centric place to gather - whether it’s for an office happy hour, birthday, sporting event, pregaming for a concert, or just hanging out with friends.”
Kirby Ice House – The Woodlands was envisioned to provide area residents and visitors 21 and up with a relaxed respite where they can lounge while enjoying an abundance of drink options and sports entertainment. The venue was designed by Evans with support of Ivan Tkachenko of Energy Architecture to accommodate up to 700 guests. Embracing the outdoors, it is further enhanced by a beautiful 30-foot live oak tree that will provide a perfect shaded area for guests to unwind and enjoy themselves no matter which season.
