Lone Star Ice House

Lone Star Ice House is a locally owned bar and grill at 1016 McCann Rd in Longview. Uniquely Longview magazine lists it in both its bar-and-grill and nightlife roundups of established, locally owned spots in town. The ice house is a Texas institution — a place built more around cold drinks, easy food and people talking to each other than around a designed concept. Longview's version sits on McCann Road, close enough to the middle of town to be an easy stop after work. Independent bars like this one tend to become genuine neighborhood fixtures, the sort of place where the staff learns your order and the regulars notice when you have been gone a while. Call (903) 753-5885 to check hours, live music nights or whether the kitchen is running before you head over.
