Ice Bar reviews
Ice Bar is a real joke! First you have to pay £15 to get in (a drink is included in the price but they are bloody awful!), the bar itself is about 30m square, there are only 2 tables, and the decor is really bad! I really thought it was a rip off. For those that found it amazing, did they pay you to write those reviews?
by Bluemingdale, 15 Mar 2008I went to the Ice Bar on a hen weekend. We had been to see the Dirty Dancing show and this really topped it off well. It was a unique experience. Included in the £15 you pay to get in, you get a complimentary cocktail in an ice glass. Well worth it in my opinion for this one-off experience. Can't understand people who moan, moan, moan! Get a life!!
by loula bella, 25 Feb 2008Complete rip-off! No atmosphere at all, appalling customer service (or should I say non-existent), no music and not particularly clean either. Ugh!
by matron, 22 Jan 2008A ridiculous rip-off. Devoid of any semblance of character or meaningful purpose. I fail to understand how I got fooled into visiting this bar and parting with my hard earned. Save yourself the money and time and go elsewhere.
by nw05250, 04 Jan 2008Was wonderful! Made even more enjoyable due to the rather hot and steamy bartender. Almost made me (and the bar) melt... Loved the whole 45 minutes of staring.
by courtenaymoon, 28 Oct 2007I would say don't bother going - £15 quid to sit in a freezer in a smelly coat. I was expecting an 'Ice Bar', instead what we got was more like a freezer lorry with a few blocks of ice for seats. On top of that, expensive drinks that are way way overpriced even for this part of London, and bar staff that barely acknowledge your existence. Steer clear!
by steve034, 21 Oct 2007I have not been to the Ice Bar and doubt I will, due to the fact that their website doesn't do it any favours. Prices should be displayed and the menu too.
by rockyice, 11 Oct 2007A great experience, definitely a must! Good service by bar staff and not overcrowded. 45 minutes is just the right amount of time in the bar too.
by Heena halai, 18 Sep 2007Loved it! A must go. Was nice to try something different - will definitely go again!
by Redo, 27 Aug 2007Complete rip off. If you want to spend 20 minutes in a meat freezer wearing a sticky plastic cloak, listening to Norwegian death-rock, and waiting for one shot of Absolut to be served to you by a lazy, arrogant bartender before you're kicked out, then go right ahead - spend the £15 on the experience!
by missfine "top london reviewer" (25 reviews), 18 Jun 2007Totally something new to me. It's a cool place to be in. Great for the long hot summer... Ice! Ice! Baby.
by Jason Wright, 07 Jun 2007Ice Bar for my 23rd birthday was great. It was so weird being completely surrounded by ice, drinking at an ice table with ice glasses. Lots of vodka cocktails to choose from. It wasn't too cramped and although there's a set time limit they don't rush you at all. Loved it... the only reason I wouldn't go back too soon is to make it special for the next time I go.
by Dancing Baby, 24 Apr 2007Wow, we visited the Ice Bar during the day and it was so cool. We were lucky enough to get a voucher from a guy dressed as a yeti outside, and got a special discount. A daytime trip is recommended!
by staceylee, 16 Apr 2007Absolutely fantastic - had a ball. Well worth a visit. Ice Hotel, here I come!
by Anonymous, 14 Feb 2007A good experience. The drinks were great, as was the club downstairs. Good music and not too crowded. Very clean toilets! The gloves were a bit sticky and yucky though.
by Anonymous, 19 Dec 2006Ignore all the comments about the staff, because whatever problems there may have been seem to have been resolved. They didn't take the vouchers off us, so we ended up having 4 free drinks which made the £12 entrance fee seem more than worth the money.
Great night out and in a fantastic part of London, so once you get there you don't have to move far for the rest of the evening!
Fantastic night out but, as with most things in London, the prices make you think about whether you really needed a 6th round!
by Anonymous, 08 Oct 2006I went with work and had a brilliant time (probably because I didn't pay for a drink all night!) I give it top marks for effort.
by Anonymous, 02 Oct 2006Would prefer 3.5. Good to go once so you've done it! Get there early so you're at the front of the queue. Staff were friendly, drinks were yummy, ice glasses fun, but once you had got over the ice walls there isn't much to look at. Top tip: don't wear a skirt - very chilly! Also beware of the stinky gloves - a necessity but they were wet and smelt very sweaty... urgh!
