My sister and I went to the ice bar on a lark. We knew it would be expensive but so what? We had never visited one before. We had to wait about 20 min before it was our turn, then got summoned in to don our warm ponchos and gloves. I don't know if it was the upbeat music ("Staying... More

I went there twice when spending a few days in Stockholm. When it is about 25 degres C outside, this is quite a unique experience to suddenly change atmosphere completely, and to go for a drink in a fake polar bar! The Absolut icebar is part of the Nordic Hotel, which is very close to the train station, and very... More

We visited this bar at £19 entry each including drink it was pricey but a fab experience of standing in a -5deg room full of ice drinking a vodca. You can just about bear 30 mins before leaving to the warmth of the hotel reception next door. A good experience though expensive More

Absolutely overrated. It's much like an industrial cooling cel with some iceblocks in it. Better spend your money somewhere else. More

We decided to visit the Ice Bar while we were spending a few nights in Stockholm. The experience was fun and very unique. You are provided with blue coats that are like capes with hoods. The admission includes one martini. Admission is restricted beacuse they want to minimize opening and closing the doors which allows heat and humidity to enter... More

The Ice Bar. Expectations? A bar completely made out of ice. This should be good, right? WRONG! You start of by paying a ridiculous amount of money to get in. They tell you a drink is included, ok, in that case acceptable. They fail to mention that it's a ice glass that contains only 20 cl of liquid. Only 20%... More

A bar made of ice - everything including the glasses. You get given a coat and gloves and a 45min time slot (probably dont want to stay longer as its cold - duh - and expensive). Cheesy but left me giggling and loving it and taking heaps of pics anyway More

We went to the Absolut Icebar in Stockholm for my husband's birthday. We were with our sister and brother-in-law. What a fun time we had - a lot of laughs!! Everything is made of ice - the bar, the chairs, the glasses - everything!! We had big blue capes and gloves to put on, as it is quite cold in... More

Apparently this is the highest ranked tourist trap in Stockholm... so my Swede friends tell me (I guess they voted!?) but I wasn't deterred, I had to go & I'm so glad I did. It was a blast! My drink was delicious (something with raspberry puree)... note: don't get the peach colored drink that everyone else seemed to order -... More
