About
Discover the Amsterdam Icebar
Step into icey adventures at the Amsterdam Icebar, one of the city’s most extraordinary attractions! Unlike any typical bar, this one is kept at a frosty -10°C, with walls, , and even your drinkware crafted entirely from ice. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that combines fun, history, and a touch of Arctic exploration right in the heart of Amsterdam.
Why Visit the Icebar?
Visiting the Amsterdam Icebar is an experience you won’t forget. Inside, you’ll find yourself surrounded by intricate ice sculptures, frozen art, and immersive decorations inspired by Arctic exploration. It’s perfect for groups, couples, or anyone looking to create memorable moments while enjoying a cool drink in a truly unique setting.
Join your captain Willem Barentsz, the famous 16th-century Dutch explorer who went to the Arctic in search of the Northeast Passage. Dive into Dutch explorer history, the most exciting way.
What to Expect
The Amsterdam Icebar features two areas: a warm tavern upon entry and the icy bar deeper inside. Upon arrival, you’ll receive three complimentary tokens: two silver for the ice bar and one golden for the warm tavern.
- Warm Tavern: Enjoy a cocktail, beer, wine, or soft drink while learning about Willem Barentsz’s Arctic expedition.
- Icebar: Once suited up in the provided thermal clothing, step into the frozen world. Here, you can sip your drinks in ice glasses and explore a space where every detail, from the chairs to the walls, is carved from ice. It’s also the perfect place for photos and videos to capture the chilly adventure.

First time
Free drink & shot included with package, staff were nice, just room is a tad small. Some drinks didn’t taste the same after buying them but was a nice experience.

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.

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.

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...
