Restaurant Reykjavik's Ice Bar makes for a nice photo-op for a large group. Everybody gets suited up in special quilted clothing and marches into what is basically a room-sized freezer with ice walls and bar. The excitement is over in a few minutes. If you are traveling in a party of two, the excercise is pointless. I've done this several... more

I have heard of seafood buffet, but not a fish buffet, that was just the simple reason why I gave it a try. Besides, we're in iceland, how can we miss out on the fish? It costed 4300Kr per head. We were lead upstairs. The place was clean and tidy. The waiter and waitress were very polite. They explained to... more

The review is in the tilte! dont bother more

This is basically a large walk-in freezer, which has some large blocks of ice for you to sit on. Once the member of staff who came in with us had served our drinks, he disappeared and we didn’t see him again. The free drink (which wasn’t really free because we paid the equivalent of £10 to get in), was 1... more

Upon planning our trip to Iceland, I was hoping to find that a ice hotel existed somewhere on a glacier, but no such luck (closest one is in Norway, I believe). I read about the Ice Bar, and knew we had a to make a stop in. The bar is right next to a nice restaurant which serves a great... more

How the guy who runs this scam can sleep at night I don,t know.To call a store room,with a few slabs of ice in it and a couple of frozen lumps as chairs,an ice bar, is beyond me.The local council and tourist information bureau should check it... more

Last year my husband and visited Iceland for our 7th time and one of the things we missed was the Icebar on our last vacation. The last night in Reykajavik we went to the Backroom Freezer and we were extremely disappointed. It was great for picture taking and to say been there done that, but save your Kronas and have... more

Like other reviews have stated, the "Ice Bar" is basically a walk-in freezer in the back of a restaurant. For the price of admission (1200 kr), you get a quilted overcoat, a few minutes, and a rather poor lemonade-type drink. I don't think I would have minded it so much if the room was a little nicer. The ice blocks... more

We have wanted to go to the Ice Hotel in Sweden for a long time, but we were in Reykjavik and thought that this sounded fun. Maybe it was because we were there slightly off season, but the ice blocks along the walls did not go to the ceiling (about a meter short) and the "bar" portion was about a... more
