Crazy J’s Ice House & Wine Bar

This place is closed folks.

Super friendly great little place. However sign on door shows closed as of July 2013. Appears to be landlord issue.
Really want to see them back!

Nice beer selection. Friendly bartender. Enjoyed a few beers on a Saturday afternoon. Would definitely stop by again.

If you’re not looking for this place, you’ll probably pass it right by. From the looks of it on the outside, it isn’t much and you might not think twice about it. They have a small dirt parking lot and nice patio outside.
When you walk in, there are specials posted, a pool table, juke box, a few arcade games, dart boards, and a popcorn machine. They have several flat screen tv’s so you can usually watch whatever sporting event you’re after. The place is very clean on the inside, there’s no smoking, and everyone is very friendly. You’ll almost always see the owner there. The past few times I’ve been there, he gave me a fresh baked pretzel and a round of beer on the house. He’s just a genuinely nice person. For help yourself snacks, they have the popcorn machine, pretzels, and sometimes have sloppy joes cooking in the slow cooker.
If you want more than a snack, they have pizzas, food from the Little Bitty Burger Barn from across the street, cheap steak specials on Thursday nights, and currently crawfish on Sundays.
This is my go to place if I want a beer. They have all your domestics plus a lot of the craft and specialty beers on tap on in a bottle for a very reasonable price. It’s probably the cheapest and friendliest place I’ve found in Houston. So, to sum it up, if you want a good beer for cheap, good company, and pretty decent food, definitely give this place a try.

Excellent neighborhood ice house that is a welcome addition to the Oak Forest area. It’s a low key dive bar that makes pizzas, and you can order burgers from itty bitty burger barn to be delivered to the bar! It also has excellent beer selection! About 8 good craft taps, and lots of hard to find local rare beer bottles from Saint Arnolds, Karbach, etc. All this without pretense– it is totally disarming and a relaxing setting.

Cool new neighborhood place! Good beer selections. Decent food delivery options. They cook on Sundays for football. There are plenty of TVs — none outside tho.
It’s got a good vibe and one of the few ice house type places in the area with draft beer.

I was recently introduced to this watering hole. I was a bit skeptical by the appearance of this place, but decided to give it a try anyway. I’m now a big fan. Very comfortable setting with friendly staff and ownership. Good (not great) beer selection, and the owner seems agreeable to bring new things in if he thinks you will support them. If you are hungry, you can order from the Little Bitty Burger Barn (same owners) and they will deliver at no charge. This place will be a regular stop for me.

Great place!!! Comfortable, inviting, and friendly. We live very close and have been wanting a place to hang out that is close to the house. They have dart boards, a pool table, a great variety of beer, sports on about 5 different flat screens, and a friendly staff and patrons. They are having steak night on Thursdays, and happy hour all day Sunday. They will have NFL Sunday Ticket, so I’m looking forward to catching NFL games here during the season. We love this place already!
