Where to go out · ICE BARS AND THEMED BAR EXPERIENCES
A room at minus five, a cape and about half an hour before your hands give up. The 15 below cover the ice bars and the other built-set bars, with entry prices and how many drinks come with the ticket.
Step below the Álafoss store into Reykjavik’s only ice bar and gallery. You’ll wear a poncho and gloves, see more than 60 tons of carved ice linked to Viking stories, and sip a signature drink from an ice glass. Staff such as Roman, Roma, and Asteris are known for helping with creative photos.
“The bar man Roma was amazing! He took loads of photos of us and really made the experience.”
Head to Magic Ice Bar in central Tromsø for a short, striking Arctic stop. You’ll receive a poncho, gloves, and a welcome drink in an ice glass before exploring frozen Viking scenes and explorer sculptures. Staff speak English, extra drinks are available, and children under four enter free. Plan this as a compact aperitif rather than a long evening out.
“Ice bars are always a good experience, a surprising one if it’s your first time. This one is quite small but very well decorated and the drink are quite cheap compared to other bars. Don’t think it’s a place where you’ll spend much time because it really is cold but still worth the go. You can get some very nice pictures.”
At Steamer Wharf, your Ice Host fits you with a jacket, gloves, and boots before leading you into a room built from 18 tonnes of clear ice. Enjoy two cocktails or mocktails in ice glasses, take photos, and expect lively music, friendly bartenders, and a very cold but fun hour.
“it was awesome. exactly what I thought it would be. great atmosphere, great music. the barman was very chatty. all over a great experience.”
Step into Prague’s Robotic Bar through the Karlovy lázně archway near Charles Bridge. Choose one of 21 cocktails, then watch two robotic arms shake, pour, muddle, and garnish it in under 90 seconds. The small bar offers a fun, photo-friendly stop, though prepaid visitors choose from a paper menu rather than the ordering screens.
“Experience was fun. Drinks were great. Music was excellent”
You enter Magic Ice Bergen with a warm poncho and gloves, then explore a sub-zero gallery of crystal-clear sculptures inspired by Norwegian and international art, including Edvard Grieg. An English-speaking host welcomes you, serves a signature drink in an ice glass, and can help with photos. Extra drinks cost more.
“Lovely and relaxed evening. Host was very good. Kept checking on us and took a group photo for us. We could step out of the bar to warm up and go back in if we needed.”
Enter Queenstown Ice Bar, built from almost 30 tonnes of hand-carved ice, and enjoy a cocktail or mocktail in an ice glass. Warm coats, gloves, and boots are available. Expect music, photo spots, changing sculptures, and friendly English-speaking hosts such as Lucy, with drinks depending on your chosen pass.
“First time and it was wonderful we had so much fun singing and dancing.”
You’ll spend about 45 minutes inside IceBar Melbourne, Australia’s only ice bar, where more than 50 tons of ice shape the walls, seats, and sculptures. Your ticket includes a hooded cape, gloves, boots, and one cocktail or soft drink. Bring a friend, dress for a very cold room, and plan to buy venue photos if you want a keepsake.
“Friendly staff, great drinks, it was indeed freezing and 45 minutes was enough for me..something different”
Start at The London Bar on Shotover Street at 9:00 PM, then follow an English-speaking guide to five Queenstown party bars. Your $23 ticket includes Ice Bar entry, five free shots, pizza, drink discounts, bar games, and prize chances. Bring your passport.
“Wonderful! I loved getting to experience multiple bars and pick out my favorites to return to!”
You’ll enter Magic Ice in Svolvær, receive a warm poncho and gloves, then explore ice sculptures lit by LEDs and music. The gallery covers Lofoten fishermen, Vikings, and Norse mythology. Your ticket includes one signature drink served in an ice glass. An English-speaking host or greeter is available, and the venue is wheelchair accessible.
“We were first to arrive so not much atmosphere, still early but we enjoyed it for something different. Had our drink, our 8year old played on the ice-slide and that kept him busy enough for us to have a drink and walk around. Looked great - amazing ice sculptures. Enjoyed it.”
Start at Madame Tussauds London with Fast Track entry and one complimentary drink at The 1835 Champagne Bar. Then explore celebrity, music, royal, and superhero displays, ride the Spirit of London, and join the Avengers in Marvel Universe 4D. Allow about 2.5 hours.
At The All Out Amsterdam, book one private hour of interactive darts, karaoke, or shuffleboard for your group. Expect playful competition, themed karaoke rooms, Dutch-style sjoelen, and a bar serving food, cocktails, and cold beers. The venue is for ages 18 and older, wheelchair accessible, and games depend on availability.
See Stockholm City Hall, Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace, Djurgården, Sergels Torg, and Fjällgatan with a private English-speaking guide and hotel pickup. The finale is ICEBAR Stockholm, where the walls, glasses, and furnishings are made of ice. Your three-hour tour includes the bar entrance, a jacket, and gloves.
At Alltid Opplett in Bergen, you play 18 holes of high-tech minigolf across two courses, keeping score on digital screens. The same activity bar also has indoor curling on synthetic ice, digital darts in an English pub section, shuffleboards, and pool. Your booking covers minigolf only, and hosts speak English, Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish.
You’ll sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with snorkeling gear, an open national bar, music, and possible spinnaker flying. Plan on 1.5 hours of free time, a buffet lunch at a beach club, and entry to an ice bar kept at -18°C. Jennifer is noted for warm hosting. Hotel transport is an optional upgrade.
“La recogida ha sido puntual y rápida , llego 10' minutos antes. Calidad buena, barra libre, tanto en el catamarán como en la comida en Isla mujeres. Encantadora tripulación, todo el personal, especial atención a Jenifer, anfitriona perfecta. No me gustó el fotógrafo, bueno lo que no me gustó es el precio que puso en un reportaje fotográfico que nos hizo a bordo del catamarán, para mi, excesivo. Lo demás todo perfecto.”
At EvoGolf Berlin, you play famous courses and fun games on Trackman simulators in a restored old paper factory near Tiergarten and Potsdamer Platz. Bring friends, colleagues, or family for 1, 2, or 4 hours of golf, drinks, music, and lounge time. Clubs and balls are included, and no golf experience is needed.
“Excellent time at EvoGolf Berlin, excellent simulators, chilled atmosphere, beer fridge to drink while you play, great host.”
Pick a kind of night, or a bar that floats.
