Your A-List, Best Icehouse

When A-List voters were asked about the best icehouse in town, they picked a local outfit with an historic Austin name, years of service and the word “icehouse” — well, “ice house” — in their name. Waterloo, located on North Lamar Boulevard, Burnet Road and at Southpark Meadows, keeps it simple — cold beer, hot comfort food and live music — in open, well-lighted spaces. The group won the A-List contest for best icehouse with 44 percent of the vote.

Doc’s Motorworks, the converted garage that looks like a traditional icehouse and has opened a second location, came in second with 14 percent. C. Hunt’s and Freddie’s Place nearly tied at 11 and 10 percent respectively. Five of the next six also come with possessive names — Phil’s (7 percent), Billy’s (5 percent), Aussie’s (4 percent), Junior’s (2 percent) and Angel’s (2 percent), leaving only Chisholm Trail (2 percent with the odd name out).
