It’s Friday friends, a happy day to one and all! Fridays are our favorite days cause it’s live music night and we’ve got singer/songwriter Joel Scarbrough Music back in town for the long haul after he stepped away to Georgia for a few years. Joel has jammed with lots of Hall of Fame country music greats and he’s been doin’ so since age 12, nigh on about 100 years ago now… 😆 Yeah, we’re at that age where the old jokes are still funny… 😉 Listen to Joel on Apple Music, Spotify and elsewhere, and get updates for future gigs or book him yourself on his website at www.joelscarbrough.com
Got us another fine day today, a mix of clouds and sun, very warm with that thermometer reaching up to 90 degrees. Overnight lows down around 70 with more of the same tomorrow and Sunday. The rain makes a return next week but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.
We got us a whole weekend to play with and the fun starts today! Head on over to where the cool kids meet to greet, the historic McKinney town square and come see us for sweet boozy treats and wonderful live music too! The weekend starts here, the weekend starts now and the big fun starts when YOU get downtown!

Once a month or so we host the gals from KT’s Craft 'n Draft for a meet and greet here at the Barlor and tonight just happens to be that night! Join KT and a whole bunch of crafty gals as they get together to sip on a cocktail or two, make some groovy things and have themselves a fun evening of craft camaraderie! Follow KT for lots more opportunities to get together.
Got us another fine lookin’ day today, yes we do, full sun with a high of 91! Summer here in Texas fast approaches. The weekend looks mighty fine too with smooth sailing for Friday Night Live with Joel Scarbrough Music! Next week is a different story altogether with rain beginning Monday and likely continuing throughout the week… 🫤 The green things will be happy.
Friday Eve is always best spent as a weekend warm-up exercise… 😉 Makin’ crafts while sippin’ somethin’ special sure fits the bill! So too does a big cup of the boozy goodness in any one of our 100+ flavors! Y’all enjoy this fine weather we’re havin’ and if you feel like a little fun, head on downtown and find us on Virginia Street, we’ll leave the lights on till 10:00 for ya… 😊

From delicious ice cream floats to terrifically tasty shooters we got somethin’ for just about everyone! Tami whipped up a few of these last night and sent this photo for me to post. Behold the Texas themed “Bluebonnet Shot” made simply, with a combination of limoncello and elderflower liqueur. If floral lemony flavors “float” your boat, you’ll be wantin’ to try one or two of these… 😉
A mighty fine lookin’ day we got us today, full sun and a high of 81! Cool this evening with lows down around 62. More of the same loveliness for the rest of the week, the days grow progressively warmer till we hit 90 on Friday when Joel Scarbrough Music takes our stage! No rain to worry about till early next week… 😁
Wonderful to have some nice Spring weather after the rain last week. The only downside, the grass sure grew and the lawn needs a mowin’. On the flip side, the cows sure are happy with what they get to mow… 😆 All in all, it feels great to be outside and if you find yourself enjoying these fine days and feelin’ thirsty too, swing on by the Barlor and let us whip you up somethin’ tasty, be it a float, a shot, a beer, a crafty cocktail or a soda pop! We got all that and more and ya know we love to see ya walk through our door! Enjoy these beautiful days while they last, we know the heat is comin’, and don’t forget, it’s karaoke night tomorrow… 😊

I must be feelin’ pretty thirsty cause I’ve got another tasty float for ya today after posting a root beer float for ya yesterday. This one features 3nationsbrewing watermelon “Sucker Punch” ale with our own watermelon Western Son Vodka infused “The Spiked Melon” watermelon sorbet! That’s a lot of watermelon… 😆 It’s also a super refreshing boozy beverage acting as a deliciously sweet boozy dessert treat! If watermelon’s your thing, this is one you gotta try!
Man, did it ever rain yesterday. I’m glad to report that rain has passed us by today and while it may be somewhat cloudy this morning, it ain’t gonna rain and we’ll see some sun by this afternoon! High temps in the upper 70’s dropping to the upper 50’s overnight. The rest of the week looks great from here and Live Music Friday features the return of our good buddy Joel Scarbrough Music!
Once things dry out we should be in for a pretty good day I figure. Hope all you moms out there had a wonderful day yesterday despite the nasty weather… 😊 It’s the beginning of a brand new week today and now we all got boozy floats on our minds… 😉 Swing by the Barlor when ya can and grab you one to satisfy that sweet tooth craving!

Your Sunday sundae today comes in a big cup with a straw and a spoon cause there ain’t nothin’ quite like a root beer float! Start with lots of our root beer schnapps infused “Root Beer Vanilla Floatila” ice cream, crack open a frosty Not Your Fathers Root Beer and fill that cup with a root beer lovers dream come true… 😆
Sunday scripture: Acts 10:36 KJB… “The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)”
Peter begins to tell this small group of gathered Gentiles of the Lord Jesus, the Word that was with God, that was God, who created us all (John 1:1-3); note carefully, that God sent Christ specifically to the children of Israel… Peter is now sharing with those not of Israel.
Acts 10:37 KJB… “That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;”
Jesus has been spoken of throughout Jerusalem and Judaea at this point by Peter and the eleven Hebrew apostles. Their journey, as we will see, is soon coming to an end; the commission given them by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20 left unfinished, with Paul taking up the responsibility. Peter continues.
Acts 10:38 KJB… “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
Being the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col 2:9) Christ began His physical battle with the devil by preparing His earthly army, healing and empowering the would-be priests of the world.
Acts 10:39-40 KJB… “And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and SHEWED HIM OPENLY;”
His resurrection put the devil to an open shame.
Colossians 2:15 KJB… “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a SHEW OF THEM OPENLY, triumphing over them in it.”
An interesting aside; Peter was a witness of His miracles and resurrection. In 2 Peter 2:16-19 written to the scattered believing remnant, he deems scripture itself to be “a more sure word of prophesy” than even his own witness!

Good day friends, I have a cuteness overload here I just had to share! Got ourselves a new batch of baby chicks to join our flock of 25 full grown hens. Needless to say our little granddaughter Riley is head over heels in love… 😆 They’ll spend a few weeks in our little chick contraption here growing strong before they do of course. A dozen or so backyard layers are a wonderful addition to any home and provide lots of delicious fresh eggs for one and all. They are super easy to care for, just provide protection from predators (everything wants to eat a chicken…) some basic scratch feed, fresh water and you’re all set! Catch us in the shop on a lucky day and we might even have a dozen eggs to share just because we appreciate you… 😊
A fine lookin’ Saturday it surely is and should continue to be for the rest of the day! We’ll be seeing lots of sun and a high temp of 86 degrees cooling off to round about 68 overnight. Things are lookin’ a bit squirrelly for Sunday with a 90% chance of thundershowers past mid-day. Our week upcoming looks terrific after that!
It’s gonna be a mighty fine day to be out and about enjoying everything McKinney has to offer and McKinney has LOTS to offer! If some boozy ice cream sounds good to you, come see us at the Barlor for sweet boozy treats and a crafty cocktail or two, too! Y’all have a wonderful day doin’ whatever it is ya decide to do and we’ll hope to see you there on the square soon… 😁

Welcome to the weekend friends, it’s Friday Night Live here at the Barlor and we got great tunes for ya as always! Jason Jobst is a Texas singer/songwriter bringing outstanding originals and some of the songs we all know and love with powerful vocals and a mighty 6-string. Wife Charity accompanies Jason on the fiddle and together they make an exceptional duo! Come on in, grab a table (or one of our brand new comfy bar stools) and don’t be late, the first set starts at 8:00… 🤠
There were some thunderstorms that blew through our area in the wee hours (ask me how I know… 🫤) but they have vacated east by now. Might see the same again very early Saturday morning but today looks great with highs of 79 and overnight lows down around 65. Sunday looks like it’s gonna start off nice with increasing chances of rain as afternoon moves towards evening.
It’s gonna be a great night tonight and I for one am lookin’ forward to it for several reasons: groovy new barstools to relax upon, truly great live music, a Tish old fashioned or two and maybe even an ice cream version of the same, and the opportunity to chat for an evening with some of you… 😊 The ice cream is made, the bar is stocked, the stage is set, the weekend starts here, the weekend starts now but the big fun starts when YOU get downtown! Hope to see all y’all tonight for a night of good clean Texas fun!

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.
