The day has arrived for the opening of Gas Monkey Icehouse, the new concept from automotive icon and DFW native, Richard Rawlings, will officially open its doors Tuesday, May 6 at Grandscape in The Colony at 4545 Destination Dr, The Colony, TX 75056. A revival of the iconic Gas Monkey brand, this newest addition to North Texas' entertainment and dining scene, offers a place for guests to enjoy great food, cold beer and good times.

Richard Rawlings, the world-renowned founder of Gas Monkey Garage and star of Discovery Channel’s Fast N’ Loud, leads this venture with Reach Hospitality (PieTap, Black Tap, Evelyn, The Mexican), a team of seasoned hospitality professionals who have been hand-selected to launch and manage the concept. With Richard serving as owner and the face of the brand, Reach brings their operational expertise to the table. This collaboration blends Rawlings’ vision and star power with an elite level of service and culinary execution, ensuring that Gas Monkey Icehouse is a go-to destination in the DFW area.

Spanning 12,993 square feet—including a 3,210-square-foot outdoor courtyard—Gas Monkey Icehouse boasts seating for 340 guests, with 220 indoor and 120 outdoor seats. The space includes two indoor/outdoor bars, a massive custom neon sign centerpiece in the courtyard, and an Alamo-inspired façade that pays homage to Texas pride. Many of the furnishings were custom-built by Gas Monkey Garage using repurposed industrial materials, giving the venue a feel that reflects Rawlings’ hands-on legacy.

“It feels like the right time to jump in, knock down the doors, and bring back a flagship Gas Monkey spot to our hometown,” says Rawlings. “Grandscape is the perfect location—it’s alive and thriving, featuring unique concepts that make it a one-of-a-kind destination. We’re proud to bring the Gas Monkey concept back in a big way, and Reach Hospitality is the perfect team to make that happen.”

Guests will experience the unmistakable Gas Monkey energy alongside authentic Texas hospitality. Whether it's date night, a group gathering, or just grabbing a cold one solo, the Icehouse is built for all-day, all-night enjoyment. The food and beverage program features crowd-pleasing fare such as burgers and pizzas, paired with 28 ice-cold beers on tap and signature cocktails.

Highlights on the menu include the Flying Monkey Wings - bone-In chicken wings with choice of buffalo, lemon pepper, whiskey BBQ, honey sriracha, or get it Richard’s way: tossed in Gas Monkey Skidmark Sauce; Garage Beer Battered Chicken Tenders - hand-battered in Gas Monkey’s own Garage Beer, served with comeback sauce; Smash’d Burger - double smash’d patties, American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, jalapeños, secret sauce; and Garage Pizza - a full selection of “Garage Pizza”, such as The Gorilla, made with San Marzano tomato sauce, pepperoni, Texas taco meat, bacon, mozzarella, ricotta, and spicy honey.

With ample TVs and VIP spaces for private events, the Icehouse is designed for entertainment. Richard will also be filming onsite for his YouTube channel, social media channels and fans can expect pop-up car shows, live events and special programming throughout the year.

To celebrate the launch, Gas Monkey Icehouse will also debut an exclusive line of merchandise that captures the bold spirit of Texas with the untamed edge of Gas Monkey Garage. From rugged tees and hats to collectible gear designed with custom graphics, fans can snag a piece of the action and show their Texas pride. Available only at the Icehouse, this limited-edition collection brings the heart of Gas Monkey and the soul of the Lone Star State together in true signature style.

Gas Monkey Icehouse will open for dinner service on Tuesday, May 6 with lunch service launching Thursday, May 15 and weekend brunch starting Saturday, May 17.
