What to expect from a visit to the Amsterdam Icebar?
The Amsterdam Icebar actually has two bars. There is the 'warm' tavern, when you first enter the building and the ice bar itself, which is deeper inside the building. When you come in to the Icebar Amsterdam you’ll get three free tokens, two silver and one golden. The golden token can be exchanged at the warm tavern while the silver tokens can be used at the ice bar.
The warm tavern offers a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. You can use your token for a beer, wine, cocktail, shot, soft drink or something warm, like tea or coffee. As you enjoy your drink, you’ll be introduced to Willem Barentsz, a 16th century Dutch Arctic explorer, who will invite you to join him on his journey to find the Northeast Passage to the Indies.
After the introduction, it is time to prepare yourself for your cold adventure with some warm clothing provide by the bar. Once in the ice bar, you'll be surrounded by ice as everything there, from the furniture to the walls and the art, is made entirely out of ice. Here, in the Ice Bar in Amsterdam, you can use your two silver tokens to order beers, shots or orange juice, served in glasses made entirely of ice.

Nice experience
Nice experience! Staff was great and very funny! We had a great time! We were already dressed for the cold so we stayed inside the bar during the whole time !
Good place
Had a fab time here a couple of days ago and lasted longer in the ice room than I thought. Only fault, we turned up at 3pm which we had booked a few weeks prior to be told then don't open until 3.45. I think they should have emailed us to let us know of their change of opening times

Bar con un concepto diferente
Es realmente diferente la experiencia de La cabina de hielo. Las bebidas que se sieven en dicho espacio buenas. Como visita corta es una buena experiencia.
Perfecto! El lugar es buenísimo y los tragos buenos. La gente es súper linda y los meseros también muy amables.
Increíble! Gran y fría experiencia! Los meseros y el personal son buenísimos y los drinks ni se diga! Gran ambiente y todo cool!
Wer sowas noch nie gemacht hat, lohnt es sich auf jeden Fall
Wer es noch nie gemacht hat auf jeden Fall lohnenswert. Die Einführung war sehr gut und unterhaltsam. Auch die Kühlkammer ist super aufgebaut.
Gran experiencia
Una experiencia muy divertida, el personal fue muy amable, un poco caro para lo que es pero al menos la bebida estaba bien
Gave ervaring
Zeer leuke ervaring in een hele gave omgeving. Spontane ontvangst door het hele personeel. Met name Boris!! Echt gezellig, zeker een aanrader als je in Amsterdam bent
KALLT
Rolig upplevelse, det ingår tre drickor (öl, drinkar och shorts) i priset. Ta en extra tröja och halsduk för det var VÄLDIGT kallt! Trevlig och serviceminded personal!
Super cool isbar!
Vilken cool upplevelse! Rekommenderas varmt! När du kom till stället fick du först sitta i detas vanliga bar och ta något ich dricka medan du fick vänta tills din tid var för att få besöka isbaren. Endast ett antal fick gå in samtidigt. Precis innan du fick gå in fick du låna varma kläder. När du kom in till isbaren fick du ett glas som var gjort av is. Du blev erbjuden både alkohol och alkohol fritt alternativ. Väldigt häftigt! Jag rekommenderar att man tar med egna vantar och en mössa för det blir kallare än vad man tror, eftersom det alltid är max -10 grader inne i isbaren.
Fedt!!!
Den fedeste ICE bar jeg har været på!!! Klart et besøg værd // The coolest ICE bar I've been to !!! Definitely worth a visit

Sjovt og "koldt"
Det er som de fleste andre Ice Bar - men herinde har de noget specielt vodka med forskellige smage der er klart anbefalingsværdige :-) Derudover kan man i den anden bar (den varme) sidde og nyde drinks bagefer...
