We try to have lots of fun things going on at the Barlor for ya and one of those things you should keep your eyes peeled for is events by KT’s Craft 'n Draft! For a very minimal price of admission KT organizes fun girls night out types of craft projects and gathers everyone together at various establishments in the area, of which we are but one. As you can tell by the photo these events are well attended because they’re lots of fun, give her a follow and hopefully we’ll see YOU at the next one… 😁
A dry day today on this Friday Eve as we head towards another weekend, mostly cloudy though we should see some peeks of sun this afternoon… 🤞🤞🤞 Highs warming up to 80 degrees today and upwards of 87 tomorrow. We got a 20% chance of scattered thunderstorms all weekend long so a no-rain vibe here or there might be effective in keeping any showers at bay… 😉 Great live tunes Friday night with Morgan Hawkins Music!
It oughta be a good night there on the square for those lookin’ for a groovy way to start the weekend just a wee bit early, or for those who would rather avoid the larger weekend crowds. Parking’ll be a piece of cake and you won’t likely have much of a line to wait on. We’ve been stocking those freezers all week long and training up our new bartender Logan so we are just about ready to hit play on another wild Texas weekend! We’ll leave the lights on till 10:00 for ya tonight… 🤠

What a dreary day it was yesterday, lemme tell ya, tonight ain’t gonna be the same, nope! It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for Kocktails and Karaoke with Tish (getoutentertainment) on the hot mics! Come on out, join the Krew and sing “until the sun explodes”, hit it Sublime… youtu.be/9WhguJtzWuI?si=HRlf4dvzNNIxMqeb 😎
It may be cloudy lookin’ out there but at least the rain has passed us by. High temps a very comfortable 74 degrees, cooling off only to 67 overnight. Warmer with some non-exploding sun tomorrow… 😉 and just a slight chance of showers Friday for live tunes with Morgan Hawkins Music!
Tonight’s the night we turn the audio system over to you and you call the tunes! Be there on the square every Wednesday night startin’ at 7:00 and runnin’ right through closin’ time at 10:00 for a good time singalong that’s fun for everyone! Those mid-week blues don’t stand a chance when you’re singin’ along to your favorite songs… 😁

Good day everyone, we’ve got a new face behind the bar you simply must get to know! It is my pleasure to introduce Logan to ya while Tish gets her up to speed makin’ the crafty cocktails you’ve come to know and love. Born in the midst of Memphis, Tennessee and growing up here in DFW Logan carries a love for music of all kinds with her wherever she goes. Collegiate studies brought her to Catawba Valley College in North Carolina where she received an associate of arts degree as part of the Jazz Band and Traveling Choral Company. She has a couple of very cool hobbies as well including billiards and hiking mountain trails. After college Logan studied at the Irving Texas School of Phlebotomy becoming a technician, now working with a wonderful group of women at Wildflower Women’s Care locally in Melissa. Logan is super friendly, hard working and likes to keep busy so a part time gig as a bartender here at Cocktail Creamery was right up her alley! Come on by and say hi when ya can, help us welcome her to the team; we know y’all are gonna enjoy her company as much as we do… 😁
It sure is a rainy day here in DFW today and that rain may be with us into Wednesday morning as well. Chilly too with a high of only 62. Eventual clearing tomorrow and warmer with temps climbing to round about 76. A low chance of showers hangs in the background right through the weekend as temperatures warm through the 80’s but I’m thinking we’ll be good for Friday night live with Morgan Hawkins Music!
Grab that umbrella if you’re headed out today, unless of course ya wanna get wet… 😆 It’s gonna come in handy for sure throughout the day and into this evening too. Don’t forget we got Kocktails and Karaoke with Tish on the hot mics tomorrow night and hopefully it won’t be raining by then… 🤞🤞🤞 We’ll be open tonight till 10:00 for those fearless souls who feel the need for some boozy ice cream or an ice cream cocktail no matter what the weather brings… 😉

Yeah, I know some folks just be here for the free ice cream, but we got some mighty fine cocktails too doncha know… 😆 Take this one for example; it’s called a “Paradise Punch” and is made with Malibu coconut rum, blue curaçao, some crème de banana, pineapple juice and a splash of Sprite! Lemme tell ya, one or two of these will transport ya to your favorite tropical island paradise, toot sweet… 🏝️🏝️🏝️
Got us a nice lookin’ day today but there’s some more cool air and Springtime rain on the way. A mix of sun and clouds with highs at a very comfortable 72 cooling off overnight to round about 57. Chilly and rainy Tuesday but things will warm back up to the 80’s by Friday for live music with a return engagement by Morgan Hawkins Music!
Lookin’ at the extended forecast there seems to be a 20-30 percent chance of scattered showers runnin’ right through the weekend. Nothin’ too much to worry about but maybe ya wanna toss the umbrella in the back seat till things clear up, just in case. No worries whatsoever if you’re headin’ out this evening; enjoy the day and make your Monday tropical with a Paradise Punch and some Pina Colada sorbet, and I’ll holler atcha again tomorrow… 😊

Our Sunday sundae today is for those who like Pina Colada’s! A big scoop of coconut rum infused “Ain’t No Lime in the Coconut” along with another of pineapple rum infused “Pineapple Upside-Down Cream” together topped with coconut Crumbole’ and pineapple sauce, smothered with bourbon vanilla whipped cream and finished with a cherry as always for good luck… 🍒
Sunday scripture: Acts 10:17 KJB… “Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,”
Peter’s strange vision has left him somewhat confused and to add even more to the situation here come three Gentile men out of nowhere searching for him.
Acts 10:19-20 KJB… “While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.”
God the Spirit maintains communication with Peter reassuring him that this meeting has not happened by chance. The words are direct; “go with them, doubt nothing!” Notice, there is no explanation as to why yet, so Peter questions the men.
Acts 10:21 KJB… “Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?”
They explain that their boss, faithful Cornelius, a just man of good report with the Jews was told of God by an angel to seek Peter out and bring him back home to hear the words (gospel of the circumcision (Gal 2:7-8)) he has been teaching the Jews for years. Peter invites the men in for the evening and on the morrow they depart to see Cornelius along with a few other Hebrew brethren.
Cornelius was waiting for them with friends and family.
Acts 10:25 KJB… “And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.”
Clearly, Peter’s reputation preceded him but he will not accept worship!
Acts 10:26 KJB… “But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.”
Worship is the privilege of God alone; not even supernaturally Holy Ghost empowered Peter should accept worship.

Every once in a while someone will call and ask if we have any non-alcoholic ice cream for kids, so every once in a while I’ll make a post answering that question (cause we’re not so hot about catching the shop i-phone when it rings… 🫤) YES, we do! We might be the “Ice Cream Barlor” but we have always insisted upon being a family friendly establishment! We’ve got 8 different flavors including the basic Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry plus a few extras like Cookies & Cream, Cinnamon Bun, Peppermint Cream along with a couple of dairy-free options as well like Bubblegum and Cotton Candy. Each is made from all the same five star ingredients used to create our boozy flavors so whether it’s a date night out or a night of family fun rest assured we’ll take great care of you and your kiddos too… 😊
The rain sure was whippin’ through early this morning and there’s some still in our forecast for today. Fortunately these storms are moving quickly and we’ll see clearing skies well before the day is through! They brought some windy and chilly air so our high will only reach up to about 63 degrees with overnight lows down around 46. Beautiful on Sunday, sunny and a very comfortable 73 by late afternoon!
It’s a good morning to be warm, dry and cozy in our homes, but once the nasty passes by it’ll be a good Saturday to be out and about lookin’ for somethin’ fun to do; and it just so happens to be that we are in the fun business too… 😉 What’s more fun than mixin’ up the booze with ice cream, huh? Yeah, yeah, I can think of one or two too but hey, we’re a family type of place remember… 😆 We’ll see that sun before the day is done and when we do we hope we’ll see YOU too there on the square in beautiful historic downtown McKinney!

The weeks just fly on by don’t they… it seems like just yesterday was the Arts In Bloom festival and here it is Friday again already! We got groovy tunes as always for ya and tonight we feature a few dudes who are just a bit different from our typical Texas fare; thefalloutboysband is bringin’ their unique style of gypsy jazz to the Barlor for all y’all’s listening pleasure! Not quite sure what gypsy jazz might be? Come grab a table and don’t be late, you’re gonna find out at 8:00… 😆
The rain has been off and on this Spring season and we’re glad it’s taking the day off today! Got us a mix of sunshine and clouds with temps rising to round about 82 degrees. Gonna get a bit chilly tonight with the rain returning after midnight. Cool on Saturday with thunderstorms early but those storms oughta clear out by mid-afternoon and give us a big fun Saturday night! Things look to be downright gorgeous on Sunday!
Who’s ready for another wild Texas weekend? We sure are and if you are too we oughta get together tonight and start it off right! Getchoo a fine meal at any one of downtown McKinney’s fabulous restaurants then come see us for after dinner drinks, boozy ice cream for dessert and some gypsy jazz to bring the whole evening to a grand finale! The weekend starts here, the weekend starts now but the big fun starts when YOU get downtown… 😉

Something we do every third Thursday of the month is meet up with the Dallas Songwriters Association. Our good buddy Rickey Gene Wright hosts an open mic night at our place which provides our customers with some fantastic local Texas music and also gives anyone who would like to attend the opportunity to join in and play one of their own original tunes! Music starts at 7:00 and runs right through 9:00 so come on by, see and hear for yourself what the songwriters of Dallas are all about… 🤠
The rain has moved mainly off our plain as of this morning and we are left with a day featuring a mix of sun and clouds with temps reaching up to 84 degrees and overnight lows down around 68. Friday still looks promising for live music with thefalloutboysband with a 60% chance of thunderstorms on Saturday. Don’t that just figure… 😐 Clear and cooler on Sunday as that next-up wet front moves off to our east.
We got us two dry days with which to play and both are gonna be filled with live music. We love music and the folks who make it! If you love music too the Barlor is gonna be a good destiny for you tonight and tomorrow too! Come on by for boozy sweet treats, and treat your ears to some very talented local musicians as they do the thing they do so well… 😁

Customer reviews
What our customers say about us
Posted on Royce WalstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cocktail Creamery is hands-down the best ice cream experience we’ve ever had. The ice cream was unbelievably creamy—easily the most delicious we’ve ever tasted. Every flavor is rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted. Sharyn made the visit even better—she has an amazing personality and is an absolute delight to talk with. Beyond the ice cream, they offer a full cocktail bar, vegan sorbets, live music, and an incredible atmosphere. They also provide wedding and event services, including boozy ice cream catering and bar options, which is such a unique and memorable touch for couples. This place is pure magic.Posted on Phyllis GoenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went on a Wednesday they had karaoke going and some good singers. Will be going back for ice cream and drinks.Posted on Cat HKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Review at new location: Been here many times after their move. Just adding some pictures. Cocktail Creamery is always our family's favorite ice cream place. Review at previous location: I'm not an icecream person but I LOVE this place. Went there twice, owner Sharyn was friendly and very knowledgeable. With hers and staff Jonathan's recommendations, we picked our favorites after sampling different offerings. Best icecream ever! Alcohol infused did help in my case. ;) Other than exceptional icecream, Cocktail Creamery itself is worth a visit. I just can't get enough of how cozy and unique it is. That's why so many pictures here to share. Will try their breakfast/lunch next time. Highly recommend.Posted on Jessica Walker (Jess)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love this place! First visit—mother daughter valentine date ..one on one! Tammy and Tish made us the best coffee we’ve had in a long time! Clean, great service!! we set up at the bar. We will definitely be back yummy!!! Thanks for the great mother, daughter, valentine memory ever!Posted on AQUALUX AUTO DETAILINGTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really needed to get the kids out of the house in this weather, and Cocktail Creamery was the perfect choice. I had a great time chatting with the owner about how they got the business started as a fellow local business owner, I really respect the hustle and passion that goes into a place like this. The service was top-notch. They even went the extra mile and took my wife’s order over the phone so everything was ready for us. The atmosphere is fun, the treats are excellent, and it’s exactly the kind of place you want to support. Grateful they were open and welcoming to the family. We’ll definitely be back!Posted on X'clusive LooksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
