An awful tourist-trap. Nothing special. We thought it was a big bar where you can order drinks whenever you want and have a chat and relax together. Not at all: it was group based with a strict shedule. Get in/ drink/ watch movie /drink/ get out/ next group. All in 30 minutes. Luckily we had some discount tickets.

I would not recommend this to anyone. Ok, it was weird drinking a beer in a glass made of ice, but other than that, was nothing like the website describes it. You are given a "poncho" and gloves - they were filthy and sticky. And you are told you are not able to take your own photos! (The staff take... More

At this moment that place is only for one time visit... More

We booked the ice bar under the recommendation from a tour guide who had told us it was well worth a visit. We paid €17.50 to visit the bar on a Saturday night with two "cocktails" included. We arrived at the bar and was given the protective clothing and ushered into what was a large freezer, we discovered our "cocktail"... More

Visited here after visiting the Ice Bar in Orlando and I must admit it wasn't as good. Although I recieved 2 free Heineken I couldnt taste it because of the cold and there was nothing to do in there of note apart from stand there for half an hour. Good to say I've done it though!

Sounded like it would be more of a bar atmosphere where you could go in and have a drink in a bar made completely of ice. It was a bar and it was made of ice, but it was more of a herd you in, show you a quick movie and give you two quick drinks. Highlight might have been... More

We went having read the reviews AFTER we booked so were prepared! Yes, it is expensive and a bit cheesey but the staff were very friendly and we enjoyed having a couple of drinks and a dance in there. It was so cold in Amsterdam last week that the bar didn't feel that bad!!

Having visited a fantastic icebar in New Zealand I was expecting good things and my partner, who had never been to one, was looking forward to it. I did not realise that this ice bar is run by Heiniken so photos were not allowed - which was pretty annoying (and the official ones costed NINE euros...we would have been tempted... More
