The Icehouse of Oakland — Restaurant in Oakland

Honestly, I was surprised when me and a couple buddies went to try out Icehouse. I’m new to Oakland and there isn’t much around besides Mexican so this was a nice change in pace. They have a pretty good assortment of different types of beers you can try and fresh! The menu is simple so if you aren’t great at making decisions, this should be great for you. I got the burger, which was pretty good but I was pretty jealous of the flat breads my buddies got, they looked incredible. The pretzel was a great way to get that additional carb intake as well. The service was personable as our server gave all his recommendations on the food and the weekly schedule of activities that Icehouse hosts. I’ll be back for the trivia...

First time visit, gave it a try because of the 4.8 rating. Party of 5 and none of us could figure out the high ratings. Hard to rate the atmosphere because there is none. A couple of us were in a 'brisket mood' but they only had enough for one customer. (??) The beer cheese on the nachos has a peculiar flavor. None of the five of us liked it, so it basically ruined the nachos order. I had the 1/2 lb burger. We had two orders of the buffalo chicken flatbread and one chicken salad sandwich. The burger was mediocre, the chick salad sandwich was the same. The best was the buffalo chicken flatbreads, but none of us thought any of the food was worth...

After my day, jus imagine me goin to a craft beer joint. Another great decision by me as that place was awesome! The owner was kewl af as he got Texas roots as do I, even some common stomping grounds and musical interests. The brews actually tasted great and cold. Not the biggest beer fan, the one I liked had apricot and citrus notes. Another had a dark cherry thing goin. The food tastes good but a pinch much on the salt. This place is easy and relaxing to hang out in and yeah, I'd go back!!! Nicely done,...
