Big Boy Ice was born behind the bar.

Restauranteurs Tom Lawrie and his wife Teresa built their reputation creating places people return to again and again—Sons of Liberty Alehouse in San Leandro and Livermore (with Lebanon, Tennessee on the way), and Honeycomb Cocktail Lounge in Livermore. Each space was designed as a destination, where craftsmanship matters and details aren’t optional.

One detail kept rising to the top of every cocktail program: ice.

High-quality cocktails demand more than good spirits and thoughtful technique—they demand ice that’s crystal clear, dense, and perfectly shaped. The kind that chills without diluting. The kind that looks as good as it performs. As their bars grew busier and their standards stayed high, sourcing enough premium ice at consistent quality became a real challenge.

So Tom did what hospitality people do best: he solved it himself.

Big Boy Ice started as an in-house solution—handmade cubes and spheres produced to meet the exacting needs of serious cocktail bars. Today, Big Boy Ice offers a wide range of crystal-clear ice shapes ad sizes, available in quantities that work for everything from a single dinner party to a packed service well. Pickup or delivery. No compromises. Because great drinks deserve great ice.
