Varsity Ice House | Our Story

Born on Demers, Built for Game Day
Varsity Ice House planted its flag on Demers Avenue with a simple bet: Grand Forks deserved a sports bar where the food was just as good as the game on the screen. We haven't looked back.

The Kitchen That Changed Things
We built a real kitchen — one that turns out Southwest Egg Rolls, Firecracker Shrimp, and dry-rubbed chicken tenders that regulars order every single visit. The food stands on its own.

Built for the Big Moment
Big screens, pro-grade sound, NFL Sunday Ticket, UFC PPV, and UND hockey at full roar. When puck drops or kickoff hits, this is where you want to be.
The People Who Make It Home
Our crew greets regulars by name and makes first-timers feel like locals by the end of their first round. Local sponsorships and deep community roots turn a sports bar into a real gathering place.
