Albert Ice House

The pork tacos are AMAZING. Great food, great atmosphere, great people. Wish this place was in our hometown!

My buddy has been telling me for over a year how great this place is, and for the first time a couple of weeks ago I was able to see for myself. If you like down to earth, REAL Texas taverns, then you owe it to yourself to check out Albert Ice House.
Headed to Fredericksburg? This place is only slightly off the beaten path. See you there!

Absolutely the best dive bar. Great cold beer. Best peppered sausage sandwich I’ve ever had. We’re headed back there today.

Loved this place so much that we are going to have our celebration here after my fiancé and I get married! Owners were awesome and the spot is absolutely perfect, laid back & has the biggest oak tree you have probably ever seen. Oh and I can’t fail to mention the Food! Yummmmmy!!! Can’t wait to come back out soon!

I’ve been on this road a few times riding from SA to Fredricksburg and have seen this place but never stopped. This past weekend on the way home and on an empty stomach we decided to check this place out. We were pleasantly surprised as to how good the food was from the Pig Pen. The bar is nice little outdoor place to sit and have a drink under the enormous oak tree. If you happen to be driving through I highly recommend you stop.

Came by on my way to hilmy cellars and came across this outdoor bar with a food trailer called The Pig Pen. Great little place with awesome outdoor seating next to large tree.

No city slickers or snobs here. Real Texas. Love it. Off the beaten path, and set in the Texas Hill Country.

Yep. This is Texas. U Dallas/​Houstonians/​Northerners better bring it and don’t screw it up. This as Texas as it comes. Enough said.

The Albert Ice House has got it going on. If you happen to be on 1623 with an hour or two to spare, you better stop by and get yourself a drink! It’s the most peaceful and pretty, yet fun and divey bar I think I’ve ever been to. The service by Eric was great, the owner was on site with his beautiful wife, and the regular locals were hanging around making everyone feel at home. I went on a Sunday afternoon and can’t wait to go back again — hopefully when a band is playing so I can see this place in action!
I also can’t speak highly enough about how CLEAN the bar and the grounds were — ashtrays were regularly cleaned, bathrooms were basically immaculate, no trash on the ground — if anything this is a bar you should stop at to compare the cleanliness of all bars to…

Wonderful small bar, friendly folks and cold beer. The owner was very engaging. Highly recommend this place for some fun.

We enjoyed this nice out of the way bar…
Very friendly owner, great views, clean and best of all well priced cold beer.

Always a regular stop when we’re in The Hill Country.
The big Live Oak in the back, the dance hall, the beauty queens serving ice cold beer, the live music, the surrounding scenery … No possible way NOT to love this place.

We had the GREATEST time at Albert’s!!! We spent 4 hours here and ended up having a better time here than anywhere else we could’ve gone! We met the greatest people including the bartender Mike! Going back for sure!

This was by far was the most amazing stop on our wine tour. I know, saloon on wine tour… absolutely. If you are ever in the area no matter how you get there you must stop.
The ice cold beer and hospitality of the staff was great but the hidden secret is the food truck in front called «The Pig Pen» was by far the best food truck food I have ever had. My husband and I split the bacon cheeseburger and oh my yummy goodness. It was cooked perfectly and the ½ pound they advertised was most certainly after cooked. The loaded cheese fries are not like anything you have ever put in your mouth. The crispy fries had dollops of soft feta cheese, red bell peppers and fresh grilled jalapeños on top. The chipotle sauce to dip them in was addicting and if we ever get back I will definitely get extra.
Checked out the old dance hall. Looks really cool. Might have to make a trip down in December to see Kevin Fowler.
Loved this place it is a must do over and over again!!!

Best bar! We have always loved Albert. Whenever we bring friends out they are amazed by this place. Even better now that Joseph is cooking out in the Pig Pen. No microwaves here! Locally sourced food, excellent preparation. Great music, well priced drinks and fabulous folks!
