Fun place to be!
Went to the Ice House Pub for the first time tonight with another couple who had been before. It has a lively bar scene and also had a duo (violin & guitar) performing who were quite good.
We started with the chicken wing and onion ring appetizers. The wings were OK, and the rings were very good. My wife had bangers & mash and I had the chicken pot pie - both quite good.
Will definitely go again before we head north in a couple of weeks.
Ugh! Nothing worse than cold food & kitchen too busy to expect any re-do. Waitress handled it very well & took 1 meal off the bill. It was trivia night--manager was apparently too concerned about that to help wait staff with lines at door but empty tables. Maybe it was just a bad choice-wrong night, wrong place, wrong menu selection.
Review Source:Fish-n-chips are yummy! Had my fish blackened instead of the ordinary fried this time and I was pleasantly surprised! And in order to keep with the semi-healthy meal choice, had to settle for the low carb Mich-Ultra, which is extremely boring considering the "99 beers on the wall"!! Can get REALLY Â busy, but I must say, I've always had service with a smile. Some better than others, but always with a smile.
Review Source:The Ice House Pub was a very unique dining experience in Punta Gorda. The historic charm and character is enough for me to want to return. It was also refreshing to find a younger crowd in Punta Gorda.
As for the food, it was good. We started with the honey hot wings and they were fantastic. For an entrée I got the fish and chips and my boyfriend got the bangers and mashed. Both were cold and my fish was kind of soggy. It was disappointing because we started out so strongly with the wings!
The good thing is we both knew that we could come back and have an excellent meal if we order something different. Service was ok. We will definitely be returning  when we visit Punta Gorda again!
Excellent selection of brews, good food, nice environment. Â Kudos also to our server, Athena, for cheerful and good service. Â The only sour note was when her replacement failed to step up and take over at shift change.
Overall, strongly recommended for beer and good pub grub.
Oh, and free wifi, what more do I need?
This has become my new favorite west coast florida hang out spot.
Built into what is most assuredly an old historic ice house - converted to English style pub with tons of character, dart boards, awesome taps to include san diego rarities that are hard to find in Florida.
The food is awesome - Bangers and Mash / Shepherds Pie / Fried Pickles anyone ? Bread Pudding too :P
Tons of dartboards and house darts. They also sell dart sets to the public on site and host dart tournaments.
The only downside is prompt service. They need to work on the speed of service.
This place rocks, plain and simple.
Friendly staff. Awesome selection of beers. Awesome pub food. Free wireless. Dark, quiet corners so I can do my thing.
Make sure to get the honey hot wings. They aren't really hot at all but man are they friggin good. And the chips and gravy are out of this world.
Erm... Just looking back through this review and realizing the phrase "Dark, quiet corners so I can do my thing" makes it sound like I am eating raw kittens or doing something incredible perverted.
I meant it's a good place to work on a laptop.
A nice pub that I make sure to visit when I'm in town. Â A good on-tap selection of beers that changes reglarly giving great variety year-round. Â Another big draw is free-to-play ,high-quality dart boards and other traditional pub games.
  The food isn't bad either. Fish and Chips leave a bit to be desired but you really can't go wrong with a cheeseburger here.
  Also, if you ever make it there on an off-night, the bartenders are friendly and more than willing to have friendly conversation with you and your friends.
