Irving is about to get a popular new gathering spot: Kirby Ice House, the beloved Houston-based bar and entertainment venue, is expanding to Irving — and Plano — according to permits recently filed with the city.

The news, first reported by Yahoo, signals that the Houston favorite sees North Texas as a prime market for growth. Kirby Ice House is known for its lively outdoor atmosphere, large selection of cold drinks, and family-friendly vibe that draws neighbors together for everything from casual weeknight hangouts to weekend celebrations.

While specific details about the Irving location’s address and opening timeline were not included in the permit filings reported, the expansion represents a vote of confidence in Irving’s growing dining and entertainment scene. Residents can look forward to a new community gathering place that brings the spirited, laid-back energy Kirby Ice House has built its reputation on in Houston.

Stay tuned for more details as the project moves forward — this is one opening Irving locals will want to keep on their radar.
