Assembly Icehouse<\/a> opened at Assembly Park in November 2025, the concept was positioned as a family-friendly destination for food, sports, live entertainment and community gatherings.<\/p>\nThe new lounge creates a deliberate contrast. Rich finishes, lounge seating and a pool table replace the larger communal atmosphere next door, while the beverage program centers on handcrafted cocktails and premium spirits.<\/p>\n
“The vision was to create a space where guests can slow down, enjoy incredible cocktails and great music, and experience hospitality in a more elevated way,” JR Mu\u00f1oz said in an official statement. “Assembly Icehouse has become a gathering place for the community, and this lounge gives us the opportunity to offer something completely different, an adults-only destination that feels sophisticated without being pretentious.”<\/p>\n
The cocktail menu includes the Midnight Bloom, made with gin, honey lavender syrup and St-Germain; the Crowned Revolver with Crown Royal XO and Pedro Xim\u00e9nez sherry; and the Pi\u00f1a Enovada, featuring pineapple-serrano infused Casamigos. A rotating Dealer’s Choice will also give the bar team room to create cocktails beyond the regular menu.<\/p>\n
Before You Go<\/p>\n
The lounge opens Friday, Aug. 14 at 5 p.m., with DJ Danny 1 performing through midnight.<\/p>\n
After opening weekend, the 21+ space will operate Fridays from 5 p.m. to midnight and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to midnight, positioning it for everything from weekend daytime drinks to date nights and late-night gatherings.<\/p>\n
The lounge is located adjacent to the Assembly Icehouse at Assembly Park in Plano.<\/p>\n
With the addition, Assembly Icehouse is effectively serving two audiences within the same destination: the community-oriented environment that has defined the concept since opening and a separate space designed specifically for adults looking for cocktails and nightlife.<\/p>\n
