At The Old Icehouse, our mission is simple: to bring people together. We believe food tastes better with friends, music feels richer in community, and a historic space comes alive when it’s filled with laughter, stories, and song.
By blending Edmond’s past with a vibrant present, we strive to create a place where families feel welcome, artists are celebrated, and neighbors connect all over great meals, crafted drinks, and unforgettable curated experiences.
If these walls could talk, they’d tell you about clinking bottles, butter churns, and the steady rhythm of horse hooves headed out on ice delivery routes. Long before live music and cocktails filled the air, this corner of Second Street was home to the Edmond Ice Company, built in 1909.
Back then, ice wasn’t just a convenience, it was a lifeline. Families left cards in their windows to show how many pounds they needed, and wagons rolled out from the stables (now our very own The Stables Event Space) to keep Edmond cool. As the town grew, so did the business. The plant added a creamery and turned out thousands of pounds of Shelden’s “Golden Glow” butter each week. Soon after came ice cream at all fountain shoppes in town and even a soda bottling works, where grape, orange, and a rainbow of flavors fizzed to life right here on site.
For decades, the Edmond Ice Company was part of the daily rhythm of this community; until electric refrigeration and changing times brought its operations to a close in the 1940s. The buildings lingered, shifting from production to storage, and finally to a quiet pause.
Today, those same brick walls and sturdy foundations are alive again. The creamery, bottling works, and icehouse building now welcomes guests for food and fun, and the stables serve new purpose as a gathering space. This place has always been about keeping Edmond together and we’re honored to carry that tradition forward.
A century after the first blocks of ice left these walls, The Old Icehouse has been reimagined as Edmond’s go-to spot for food, drinks, and live music. What once stored ice and butter now serves up bold flavors, craft cocktails, and the sound of guitars echoing through brick and timber.
At the helm of our kitchen is Executive Chef Zach Hutton - a James Beard Foundation finalist and Chopped champion - who, along with Chef Tim Scarberry, puts a fresh spin on comfort classics. Here you can pair dishes with our lineup of cocktails, local brews, and wines, then step into our listening-room-style music space, where songwriters and touring acts share the soul of Oklahoma and beyond.
From family brunches on the patio to nights that go "a little off the rails", The Old Icehouse is more than a restaurant and venue; it’s a gathering place where Edmond comes together, one plate, one pour, and one song at a time.
