The restaurant concept at Acme Ice House is founded on old-time Southern principles of gathering with good friends while meeting new at the local watering hole, or rather Ice House, for stick-to-your-ribs great food and ice-cold bottled beer.
Acme Ice House offers a glimpse back in time when family, community, hard work and a sense of tradition were the things to live by.

Taking a formerly unsuccessful restaurant space and not wanting a beach feel, the owners purchased and dismantled a historic dilapidated Kentucky redwood barn bringing it piece by piece into the restaurant to cover the walls. Nothing was spared, so you will even see the barns tin-roof hanging (backlit) in the restaurant rafters, along with a shiny chrome Harley Davidson hanging from the ceiling and on the walls stunning work by local artist and photographer Tommy Crow.
Acme Ice house is now full of natural light with an entrance in the front, ample parking in the rear lot and has definite curb appeal.
Also brilliant is the addition of phone chargers at the two bars and free Wi-Fi, making Acme Ice House the perfect location for business meetings, or for the individual who just wants an inspired space to write, read or work. Acme Ice House is family friendly and a spot you will want to hold birthday parties or share in a Girl’s-Night-Out.
