Editorial Review for West Alabama Ice House – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Pull up a tattered bar stool at the counter and watch the basketball game, or straddle one of those picnic tables set up on the east side of the bar. It's all about the basics here; no drink specials, no food (except for hot dogs on Friday nights), and no live entertainment. The beer selection tends to focus on the usual standards (Bud, Coors, Miller), St. Arnold seasonal brews and a small wine selection.

Insider Tips

The Extras

Feel like picking up a game of hoops? There's a smallish court with a basketball hoop in back, about 50 paces from the two porta-loos against the back fence.

Parking

There are about six parking places, so resign yourself to street parking, unless you're drinking at 2pm on a Monday afternoon.

User Reviews for West Alabama Ice House

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Love it. Free hot dog Fridays are the best. Although it is really just a icehouse/bar, don't be put off. People bring dogs and kids. Food is easy to get from vendors walking through - I've gotten a wide variety of fare - handmade tamales, pizza, etc. for just a few bucks. You never know what will be offered if they are out of hot dogs <smile>. Real old fashioned ice house and neighborhood hangout. Wide variety of patrons from bikers to downtown attorneys to neighborhood folks. What a local dive should be.

This place has amazing chili dogs on Friday nights (look for the guy with the hot dog hat) and a Texas atmosphere that can't be beat. Beer and wine only but you can bring your hard alcohol if you need to. Horseshoes heaven. you can bring your dog. everyone from bikers to Neiman marcus shoppers (laidback)

Pros: great picnic tables to sit on during a pretty day

Cons: no hard alcohol, little cover for bad weather.
