Chef and restaurateur Levi Goode announced the opening date for his newest concept, Otto’s Ice House, located in San Antonio’s Historic Pearl District. The restaurant and bar, located at 111 Newell Avenue, San Antonio, TX 78212, will open to the public on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.Otto’s Ice House is named for Otto Koehler, the founder of the Pearl Brewery, who as many Texans know, has a storied past.
The new Ice House will pay homage to his legacy: the good, the bad, and the ugly. As legend has it, Otto had an extramarital affair with two women, both of whom shared the same name as his wife, Emma. In a lovers’ quarrel, one of his mistresses fatally shot him.
His wife Emma took over the brewery and ran it successfully through prohibition and beyond.Otto’s is meant to be a place where people can come together on the banks of the San Antonio River to trade tallboys and tall tales. Cold beer, drinks and food are on the menu at Otto’s, with cocktails like Micheladas, Honeysuckle Frozé, Damn Goode Margaritas, Otto’s Last Shot and more.
The Ice House will also feature Texas fare such as Goode Street Tacos, Homemade Bratwurst, Hill Country Deluxe Smashburger, Nachos, a German Soft Pretzel and more.The new Ice House marks Levi Goode’s restaurant debut in San Antonio, but the business is anything but new to the well-known restaurateur. Levi Goode is the president, CEO and chef of the Goode Company restaurant group in Houston and chef and owner of the recently opened upscale Credence and Sidebar concepts in Houston.
