Review Summary

Reviewers describe Icehouse as a warm, unpretentious spot with a welcoming vibe, where generous portions and solid flavors anchor a menu that ranges from fried chicken and ribs to tacos and seafood. The fried chicken is frequently praised for being juicy, crispy, and well seasoned, the brisket sandwich is often divine, and the shrimp po'boy and Baja fish tacos get notable accolades for taste and texture. Drinks are highlighted for being well crafted, with margaritas and bourbon lemonades mentioned as standout options, while the atmosphere is repeatedly described as intimate and lively with friendly service and fair prices. Some diners note occasional hiccups, such as a misstep with a reservation, items that can be saltier or overcooked, and occasional beverage pricing quirks, but improvements under new ownership are also mentioned. Overall Icehouse comes across as a dependable Montreal favorite that blends comfort food, good drinks, and a welcoming setting.

Fried chicken to die for. I crave it sometimes, lol. We enjoy going there for an early dinner & a couple of bourbon lemonades. Music is good & service as well. Very familiar & easy going spot.

Nourriture excellente rien à redire. Mais payer 45$ pour un pichet de limonade bourbon (limonade meme pas maison) qui n'était pas identifié en passant. Quand la boisson coûte plus cher que 2 repas je trouve sa excessivement cher.

The place was just down from our airbnb. Two of us decided to stop in for a beer. As we walked in, we both commented on how cool the atmosphere was. Service was great that night, & the food smelled incredible. 2 nights later we went with our group of 5 for dinner. The Burritos, Nachos, & Po'Boy sandwiches were incredible, not to mention the house specialty drink, Bourbon Lemonade. The service was incredible as well. They were very welcoming. Well worth checking out!!

Hands down the most disappointing restaurant/bar experience I have had in Montreal. Icehouse is over priced, the food & beverages are beyond underwhelming, & their customer service is yet to be discovered.

We ordered a pitcher of Bourbon Iced Tea. As our waitress walked the five steps from the bar to our table I witnessed a fifth of the beverage wash over the floor. I requested a replenish, which the waitress agreed to & then never returned for. As my boyfriend & I finished our pitcher, we soberly asked each other if perhaps the bar forgot to add bourbon to our 40$ pitcher.

It is necessary to order food at Icehouse if you are looking to get a drink, as it does not have the licence to sell alcohol alone. We ordered tacos, 8$ for a half appetizer portion composed of the most basic, at home mexican cuisine since taco bell.

The highlight of our experience at Icehouse was our waitress forgetting to bring a friend her 40$ pitcher after ordering it three different times. I am extremely happy only one of us had to dish out 40$ for a single shot of Bourbon.

Leaving an 8% tip for our invisible waitress was the most regretful act I have made this entire summer.

Montreal is filled with small, non-franchised resto-gems. Here are some pleasing alternatives found in the same neighbourhood as Icehouse:
Else's (156 Roy Est), Dieu du Ciel (29 av Laurier Ouest), Big In Japan (4175 Boulevard Saint-Laurent), Réservoir (9 Rue Duluth Est)
