KRUM, TEXAS · PULL UP A CHAIR

THIS IS THE 156

A familiar place. A fresh face at the next table. A song that makes you stay for one more.

Welcome to The 156—an icehouse with room for your kind of night.

A place to make your own

Some nights begin with a plan. Others begin with a friend saying, “Meet me at The 156.” Come for the music, settle in at the bar, or find your people around a table. The room is part of the story. What happens between the people in it is the rest.

Our name belongs to a Texas tradition of gathering places where an ordinary stop can turn into a good memory. We want every invitation to The 156 to feel that easy.

Our story, in your words

Sample copy — owner story to be added.

The founders arrived carrying a towel, a questionable map, and an unusually firm opinion about cold drinks. They discovered that the most important landmark in the galaxy was the table where their friends were waiting. Insert the real founding story here once the owners have had their say.
