What a fine weekend it was, a bit chilly there on Saturday but Sunday sure was nice! There’s another fine weekend comin’ up startin’ two Fridays from now, it’s the Arts In Bloom festival happening here in downtown McKinney. This is our big Spring celebration; a family friendly festival that’s got somethin’ for everyone! Vendors of all sorts will line the streets, activities of all sorts will fill ‘em; there’ll be great food and drinks galore and music playin’ just about everywhere! The amazing Kerosene Drifters will be playin’ at our place… 😎 It’s gonna be a great time for all involved so mark your calendars, it’s happenin’ the weekend of April 10 - 12!
A good lookin’ Monday to start our week, a bit cloudy this morning but sunnier this afternoon with highs at 84 degrees and overnight lows down around 64. Looks like we got some rain in the forecast for Wednesday and then again for the weekend which we just cannot have; so get the no-rain vibes flowin’ cause we got Wooden Nickel TX comin’ back to play on Friday and we don’t want to rain on their parade!
Today and tomorrow look like good days to be out and about so get out there and be about while the gettin’ out’s good… 😆 If you find yourself near the downtown square while you’re out there, be sure to swing by the Barlor for a sweet Monday treat cause most Mondays can use a little somethin’ special to perk ‘em up just a bit… 😉 May the beginning of your week be a good one and we’ll hope to see ya, if not before the Arts Bloom, then at that fun festival soon!

What do we have for a Sunday sundae today? How’s about some cinnamon spice? A scoop of sweet “Dickersnoodle” and “Ghost of Cinnamon Past” together in a cup with hot caramel fudge and Heathbar crumbles, topped with our house bourbon vanilla whipped cream and a cherry as always… 🍒
Sunday scripture: Acts 9:32 KJB… “And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.”
After meeting Saul and witnessing his supernatural conversion to faith in Christ, our attention is turned back to Peter. I’ve been saying something different is happening with Saul and at this point God the Holy Spirit must inform the Kingdom saints of what’s now happening in the world starting with he who received the keys to said Kingdom. Peter meets the saints at Lydda where he found AEneas crippled with palsy.
Acts 9:34 KJB… “And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.”
Miracles and healings are still occurring often. To the majority of Hebrew believers the Kingdom is yet at hand.
Acts 9:35 KJB…. “And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.”
More disciples made. We now learn of a (likely) Gentile woman who blessed the Jews as was proper and per Gods instruction at the time (Gen 12:3).
Acts 9:36 KJB… “Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.”
Tabitha is sick and dies. Knowing that Joppa is not far from Lydda, her friends sent two men to bring Peter quickly to her side. He arrives to find the saints weeping with grief and showing him all the coats and garments she had made. Peter knows exactly what to do!
Acts 9:40 KJB… “But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.”
Resurrected!
Acts 9:42 KJB… “And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.”

I’d like y’all to welcome Gabriela, our new super scooper! Not only is she great at handling the professional ice cream scoop, she likes makin’ little videos too, a thing I’m just no good at whatsoever! Gabby likes to keep busy and was just accepted into SMU where she will be attending this fall. In case anyone is lookin’ to get hitched, Gabby also runs a wedding planning service which she absolutely loves! Told ya she likes to keep busy! Her favorite flavor is “Tiramisu Says Who?” and when Sharyn asks for two scoops she ain’t sayin’ “peace out”, she wants two scoops… 😆 Gabby is sharp as a tack, super friendly, wonderful with our customers and is pickin’ up workin’ at the Barlor very quickly; we just know y’all are gonna love her!
It’s a cold and drizzly start to our Saturday but things are gonna change for the better real soon. That sun will start to cook those clouds away hopefully around mid-day and the drizzle will go away! Still cool with highs only in the mid 60’s droppin’ into the mid 50’s overnight. Clear and warmer on Sunday with lots of sun and a high temp of 82 degrees, that’s more like it!
Give our day today a little time to sort itself out and it’ll turn into a terrific Saturday, I just know it! Saturdays are great days to wander round the square and after the half marathon is done by 11:00 AM the streets will open back up and said wanderin’ will commence! Swing on by the Barlor for two scoops of your favorite flavor or, even better yet, try somethin’ you haven’t tried before! There’s only 100 or so to choose from… 😉 Whatever it is ya wind up doin’ today we hope ya have a great time doin’ it and we’ll look forward to seein’ all y’all downtown real soon!

I’m sure y’all know what day it is by now but just in case ya woke up wonderin’ lemme tell ya, it’s finally Friday! It’s our favorite day here at the Barlor cause Friday is live music day and today we welcome back our good buddy Russ Lowry Music for some good time classic country sounds, and a lot of fun stories to go with ‘em! Russ is a whole lotta fun y’all, he makes a Friday night fly so come on in, grab a table and don’t be late, the first set starts at 8:00 (and I’ll have the classic country channel playing on the jukebox in between sets)… 🤠
A lovely day today with some cooler air filtering in as the hours pass us by. It’ll be a mix of sun and clouds with a high temp around a very comfortable 74 degrees. A slight chance of a passing shower late tonight into very early Saturday morning, cooler and sunny with highs in the mid 60’s as the evening approaches. By Sunday we’re back up in the 80’s once again… 😎 The early indications suggest some rain towards the middle of next week.
Like Russ says; “Y’all come on now, for some good country soul and some boozy ice cream!” I’ll add some good Texas country vibrations and crafty cocktails into the mix as well! We’re gonna have us some fun this evening and I for one am lookin’ forward to it. If you are too we’ll see you there on the square for dinner, drinks, dessert and good time music all night long! The weekend starts here, the weekend starts now and the big fun starts when YOU get downtown… 😁 Y’all come! Hit it Bill Monroe… youtu.be/dWn0HmvDexQ?si=jT3_rhIIi8RWwPE2

What’s that Sharyn has in her hands? Looks like a really nice bottle of scotch cause it is a really nice bottle of scotch… 😆 And, it’s gone into a brand new gallon of Killer Vaniller D’Extra! Glenfiddich 16 year old for those of us who dig auto racing; the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team special edition… 😎 Exclusively matured and married in American oak casks to create a rich and layered sweetness. Race car drivers like their scotch too, just not while on the track… 😉
It’s a good lookin’ Thursday, er… Friday Eve out there today; some cloudiness this morning giving way to sunnier skies by lunchtime, high temp of 87. Cooler tomorrow by about 10 degrees and then ten more again on Saturday; we might expect rain with such a temperature drop, there’s a very slight chance, but I doubt it for this weekend! It’s gonna be cool and comfortable right through Sunday and our Friday night live with Russ Lowry Music is gonna be great… 🤠
Begin the weekend festivities just a wee bit early with some Killer Vaniller ice cream and getchoo a wee dram extra poured on top! These gallons tend to go quickly so be sure to swing by soon… have a cup on the house if you swing by in your Aston Martin and take me for a ride around the block… 😁 Y’all enjoy a wonderful day and get ready for another super fun weekend here in downtown McKinney!

We got us another lovely day with a few clouds floatin’ on by this morning but that sun will be shining bright, giving us a high in the mid 80’s today. A very comfortable 65 degrees overnight and more of the same tomorrow. We’ll be about 10 degrees cooler on Friday for the live classic country sounds of Russ Lowry Music with a beautiful weekend to follow!
It’s the middle of the week and you deserve some humpday fun! Tonight’s the night we turn the audio system over to you and YOU call the tunes! Meet the Karaoke Krew there on the square in historic downtown McKinney tonight and every Wednesday night for a rockin’ and rollin’ good old Texas time… 🤠

There’s nothin’ like gettin’ outside on a fine warm and sunny day and enjoying’ somethin’ cold to drink! Cheers to Tami and Sharyn sharing an ice cold Purple Haze, hit it Jimi… youtu.be/cJunCsrhJjg?si=iW_W-o95HLIOiFrM 😎 “What’s in a Purple Haze”, you ask? Empress Gin, blackberry liqueur, a dash of lemon, a splash of cranberry and some tonic for fizz! Give one a try next time you drop by… 😁
The weather has been absolutely beautiful too, hasn’t it!?! More of the same today with the thermometer reachin’ up to 84 degrees. A bit warmer tomorrow and Thursday but only in the upper 70’s on Friday for live country tunes with Russ Lowry Music!
These fine Spring days are gonna continue well into next week so every day is a good day to be out and about enjoyin’ it while it lasts! You know we’re gonna be complaining about the heat soon enough… 😆 Quench your thirst with some Purple Haze next time you’re there on the square and don’t forget it’s Kocktails and Karaoke Wednesday night!

It was a weekend of old friends surprise visits for us, folks that are a real blast from the past and dang if we didn’t appreciate the time they took to come see us! Sharyn’s roommate from back in our Keene State College days, Jean Mandirola and a church friend and neighbor from our time in Franklin, MA., Greg Biello both popped in to the shop to say hi and what nice visits we had with ‘em… 😁 So absolutely wonderful to reconnect with friends from long ago!
A great way to begin a brand new week too with sunny skies and temperatures dialed down just a bit to a very comfortable 78 degrees. Such nice weather will be with us all week till things cool off just a bit for our upcoming weekend. Friday looks fantastic for live classic country tunes with our good buddy Russ Lowry Music!
School is back in action from Spring break so we kinda figure this week will be a bit mellower than the last, but add gorgeous Spring weather into the mix and who knows how many folks will be out and about enjoying it? Your downtown hometown square is a wonderful place to spend a little time wandering round the groovy shops, enjoying great food, sippin’ crafty cocktails and diggin’ into some boozy goodness for sure! Come on out, get some sun and have a whole bunch of fun while doin’ it; we’ll be lookin’ forward to a visit from all y’all out there real soon too… 😊

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.
