Head to Rainey Street for Summer Cocktails at Icenhauer’s

Icenhauer’s has been a favorite drinking hole on Rainey Street since 2010. Except, it’s not really a hole at all. The history of its thoughtfully-renovated structure dates back to 1895, when it was built as a “wing and gable” house. Today, Icenhauer’s is home to an exceptionally friendly staff, crafting a plethora of uniquely infused cocktails.

There are plenty of opportunities to try their brand new summer drink menu, created by General Manager Stuart Thompson. Happy hour at Icenhauer’s is from 4-9 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday and 4-7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. As a bonus, you can get 25 percent off all cocktails named after ladies during happy hour.

My personal favorite. The Avery is made with freshly-grilled pineapple, jalapeno-infused 512 Silver Tequila, lime juice, agave nectar and coconut water. Wowzers.

Other than the mouth-watering cocktail menu, Icenhauer’s offers social events throughout the week:

  • Super Soul Sundays: Twelve-piece Austin-based soul band, The Nightowls, performs from 3-6 p.m.
  • Wednesdays: DJ Nixx spins from 9 p.m.-1 a. m. (and 10 p.m.-2 a.m. on Fridays).
  • Thursdays: The Jack Burton Trio performs from 8-11 p.m.
  • Front Porch Fridays: Chill session with Brandon Hughes and his guitar from 6-8 p.m.
  • Saturdays: You’ll find DJ E-PHLAT spinning from 10 p.m.-2 a.m.

There will always be a thirsty place in my heart for Icenhauer’s, and now there’s even more reason to visit due to the new summer cocktails!
