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!

Anybody notice anything different about this picture? Lemme tell ya, it was my happy day yesterday cause we finally got us some proper bar stools, a whole dozen of ‘em, woohoo and yeehaw… 🥳 Took us long enough I know but they’re finally here and dang if they ain’t comfortable! They got back support and all and that means quite a lot to this old dude. Try one out next time you swing by and let us know if you dig ‘em too!
It’s a fine lookin’ Friday Eve with a mix of clouds and sun; a very comfortable 73 degrees for our high today. Friday was lookin’ flawless but my weather app now says we might see a few showers late so let’s fire up a few no-rain vibes cause we got the always excellent Jason Jobst with (hopefully) wife Charity on fiddle comin’ to play!
If’n you’re feelin’ like a crafty cocktail today, swing on by the Barlor, plant yer booty in one of our new seats, lean on back and enjoy that thing thoroughly, both the cocktail and the stool of course… 😆 Can you tell I’m excited about these things? I can’t wait for Friday when I get to use one… 😉 Y’all have a great day today and get fired up, the bar stool weekend is about to begin!

It’s Kocktails and Karaoke night at the Barlor tonight, but it’s not just any karaoke night, nope! It’s a Birthday Bash Karaoke Night, the first of its kind for two reasons: 1, it’s the first Wednesday of the month and we’re gonna do this every month and 2, it just happens to be Tami’s birthday today who turns 28 for the thirtieth time… 😆 If you have a birthday this month, come on by and celebrate with us cause tonight’s the night we turn the audio system over to you and you call the Birthday tunes, hit it Beatles… youtu.be/dhdOPhTHeoE?si=J4JPKBKkMA3daw52 🥳
We got a little drizzle in our neighborhood today but it ain’t gonna last all day. The skies should start clearing after lunch and we might even see some sun as temperatures rise to a very comfortable 70 degrees. The rest of the week looks splendid, Friday night too for live Texas tunes with Jason Jobst!
Beat those midweek humpday blues and choose a rowdy blues tune to sing tonight! Join us for a good time singalong all night long startin’ at 7:00 with Tish (getoutentertainment) on the hot mics! I do believe you’ll be very glad ya did… 😁

Well, it’s the 5’th of May today and that can only mean one thing; Mexico must somehow be on the menu… 😆 So, after your breakfast of huevos rancheros and the taco Tuesday lunch, swing by the Barlor for $5 small Mango Margarita sorbets from the freezer and $4 Modelo/Dos Equis bottles and/or $8 Margaritas from the bar! Happy Cinco de Mayo to one and all, especially our Mexican brothers and sisters!
A fine lookin’ Tuesday it is, for the most part. Though it is kinda overcast we should see some breaks of sun before the day is done and a toasty warm high of 90. As evening progresses so too does our chance of rain increase to about 30% which then tapers off as Wednesday comes into view. Friday looks fantastic for live music with the always excellent Jason Jobst!
Downtown oughta be jumpin’ today with most everyone jumpin’ on the Cinco de Mayo bandwagon in some way! Come on out and join in the Mexican fun… 🇲🇽 Don’t forget it’s Kocktails and Karaoke tomorrow night for those who like to get their inner rock star flowin’! Y’all have a fine day whatever it is you decide to do and we’ll look forward to seeing you there on the square sometime soon… 😊

We had a fun event at the shop last Thursday. The groovy folks over at The Kraft Oakes Team Realtors - Re/Max had them a team/customer meet and greet at our place and it sure seemed like everyone had a mighty fine time! We sure appreciate them choosing our place to stage such an event and I’m here to say; “hey, maybe you wanna do something similar for your team and customers?” If ya do just give us a call or shoot an email any old time and we’ll set up a fantastic experience for you and your people too! And, if you happen to be thinkin’ about real estate of late, don’t hesitate to give the cool folks at Kraft Oaks a call… 😊
Looks like we got us a fine lookin’ Monday in store for us after an absolutely beautiful weekend. A mix of clouds and sun with a high of 81 and overnight lows down around 71. Warmer tomorrow our high near 90 and that hot air brings with it a chance of thunderstorms late Tuesday into early Wednesday. After that it’s smooth sailing all the way through next weekend and Friday is lookin’ fine for live music with Jason Jobst!
I’m thinkin’ Wednesday evening will be all good for Kocktails and Karaoke and this particular Wednesday is the karaoke birthday bash cause it’s the first Wednesday of the month! If you were born in May this is your day to get some celebration in… 😁 And if you weren’t, no worries at all, y’all can come on in any old time by yourself or with your entire crew and we’ll take real good care of you! You’ve got my word on that… 😉

It’s a beautiful Sunday and it needs an equally beautiful sundae, I’m thinking chocolate and coconut! A big scoop of coconut rum infused “Ain’t No Lime in the Coconut” together with chocolate whiskey and amaretto infused “Almond Joyfully Delicious” with sliced almonds, hot chocolate fudge, our house bourbon vanilla whipped cream topped with a cherry as always for good luck… 🍒
Sunday scripture: Acts 10:32 KJB… “Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.”
Peter arrives at the home of Cornelius and asks for what reason was he summoned. Cornelius explains that the Lord heard his prayer and sent an angel arrayed in bright clothing instructing him to seek Peter out.
Acts 10:33 KJB… “Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.”
The sincere prayer of a single Gentile man who worships the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob has an audience present to hear what Peter has to say; “all the things God commanded”. This man is destined to hear something that will forever alter his life, record his name in the book of life; while the event itself teaches Peter an important lesson.
Acts 10:34-35 KJB… “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.”
These words must have come as quite a shock to one and all because just days before, God was a “respecter of persons” in that Israel (should they have respected their Messiah) were to be the worlds priest class!
Now in any nation, without involving Israel, he that fears the Lord AND works acts of righteousness is accepted by Him! For the past 1,500 years this was not the case. Indeed just a few verses ago Peter thought it was unlawful for a Jewish man to keep company with Gentiles. The ways in which God is dealing with mankind is shifting dramatically. Peter now knows Israel is no longer uniquely respected by God.

We are remarkably blessed to have so many awesome customers (yes, that means YOU!) but only a very few buy our ice cream by the gallon and that’s usually for special occasions like weddings and corporate events such as we are available to cater. And then there’s Ro Love… 😆 We’ve known Ro for at least 5 years now since her first bowl of our peach brandy infused Allman Brothers inspired “Eat A Peach” ice cream… 🍑🍑🍑 Ro fell in Love there on the spot and we fell in Love with Ro in return! With a personality and positive energy as big as Texas, Ro treats herself to a gallon of her favorite ice cream every once in a while and it’s our absolute pleasure to make them special for her! Give us a weeks notice and we’ll be happy to do the same for you as long as you got a really cold freezer, lest the boozy ice cream get soupy on ya… 😉
Thank goodness we were spared the rain last night, them no-rain vibes worked their magic once again! We had an absolute ball with Brad Davis, Craig Langford and Tom Glosup… my Lord those guys can play, truly gifted all 3 of ‘em! A beautiful day today after a dreary kinda week, full sun with a high of 81, cool tonight with lows in mid 50’s. More of the same for tomorrow, just a few degrees warmer!
A gorgeous weekend to be out and about and we live in one of the best places to be out and about in, Historic Downtown McKinney! Come on out and grab some lunch or dinner at any of the many fine dining establishments you will find there on the square and come see us for sweet boozy treats afterwards for dessert! We’ll concoct somethin’ delicious for ya be it from our freezers or from our bar; either way it’s guaranteed to make your sweet tooth really happy, while adjusting your already good attitude accordingly… 🤣 Y’all have an amazing weekend whatever it is you decide to do and if a gallon of your favorite flavor in your own freezer sounds good to you, just talk with Sharyn or Tami and they’ll hook you up toot sweet… 😁

This is a Friday quite like no other friends, we got a musical first happening here! The legend himself, our good buddy Brad Davis is comin’ back to town and bringin’ the “BD Country Jam” with him… featuring, Tom Glossup on guitar and vocals along with Craig Langford on bass and vocals. This remarkable trio will be playing some of the most beloved country and classic rock songs ever written. Friends, the talent represented here in our humble little Ice Cream Barlor is literally off the charts. If y’all haven’t been here for a Friday Night Live yet, this is the one you truly don’t want to miss. I personally promise you an evening of some of the best music you will not soon forget!
Keep them no-rain vibes a-flowin’ y’all, they’re workin’ a charm on our weather! The chances of rain have diminished to only about 50% and the majority of that rain is south of historic downtown McKinney. If any heads our way it’ll likely be around lunchtime with clearing by mid to late afternoon! Cool out there, a sweatshirt might be comfy to wear. Saturday is lookin’ absolutely marvelous already, Sunday too, warming back up through the 70’s!
It’s gonna be weekend to remember cause nothin’ starts a weekend as well as live Texas tunes, and we got the best Texas tunes in town this weekend as well… 🤠 I don’t care who ya are, these three dudes have all played with the best in the business and deservedly so! This trio ought to be playing in front of thousands and we got ‘em here all to ourselves! How fortunate we are to have the ability to share ‘em with all y’all too! The weekend starts here, the weekend starts now, and the big fun starts at 8:00 when BD’s Country Jam comes to town!

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.
