Step inside this winter wonderland for a cool night out!
Prepare for a unique chance to make memories of an especially cool night out at ICEBAR Orlando, which is the largest permanent ice bar in the world!
With a whopping 70 US tons of spectacular hand-carved ice, ICEBAR has been featured on the Travel Channel’s “Extreme Barhopping” show as one of the top ten bars they recommend visiting. So what are you waiting for? Head over to International Drive to find your own winter wonderland – whatever the time of year!
On arrival you will be greeted by one of the venue’s helpful Ice Princesses in the Fire Lounge, who will get you ready for your Arctic exploration and provide you with gloves and a warm thermal coat! If you want to look extra-stylish you might want to consider upgrading to a faux fur coat for an additional $10. From here it is just a few steps into the ICEBAR, which is filled with stunning sculptures, as well as icy furniture (covered with furs that you can sit on) and décor, not to mention the custom-carved frozen glasses from which you can sip a choice of yummy cocktails! Keep your cool with the Snow Cosmo – which includes Ciroc peach vodka, peach schnapps, a splash of sour mix and lemon-lime soda. Afterwards warm up with a sip of the Fire & Smoke – a combination of Fireball cinnamon whiskey, Apple Pucker, Disaronno, Amaretto, cranberry juice and a dash of grenadine!
There isn’t a dress code for the ICEBAR or Fire Lounge, but it is suggested that you wear close-toed shoes, as your feet will feel the cold otherwise!
If you attend one of the special event nights there may be a dress code policy, so it’s best to check the website for full details.
Take your own photos of the cool surroundings to show your envious pals back home, or seek out the ICEBAR photographers who are on hand to take snaps of you and your family and friends at this unique venue in the heart of Orlando.
Although there is alcohol available, the ICEBAR is open to guests aged 8+ between 5pm and 9pm, and includes a selection of non-alcoholic drinks to try, meaning that no one need miss out on the fun times!
After 9pm only guests aged 21 or over are allowed in the ICEBAR and the Fire Lounge nightclub, which is open until midnight between Sunday and Wednesday, 1am on Thursday and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
“Antarctica right in Orlando. From ice tables to ice barstools, huge polar bear sculptures to ice mirror frames, it was all great fun!”
If it gets a bit chilly in the ICEBAR, which is kept at a nippy -5.6°C (22°F) at all times, head out into the warmth of the Fire Lounge which has state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment, where you can experience Orlando’s hottest nightlife and enjoy dancing the night away to the venue’s DJs! Find a seat to chat with your friends, while trying out the nightly drinks specials, signature cocktails and grabbing a quick bite to eat. Enjoy a selection of starters, including skewers filled with steak, shrimp or teriyaki chicken, or how about a large Bavarian-style pretzel served up with Sam Adams bier cheese? A perfect choice for the Christmas season. If you are feeling extra hungry why not have a trio of classic burger sliders, or a pizza slider trio – combining the best of both worlds by putting pizzas toppings on burgers! For a slightly lighter bite you can enjoy a selection of flatbreads; to ward away the cold munch on the buffalo chicken flatbread, which is sure to spice up your night – as it is topped with both ranch and hot sauce!
Parking is available for customer use behind the venue, and to enter the ICEBAR it currently costs $19.95, though there are sometimes significant discounts available for advance or early evening bookings; check out the relevant pages on their website before making a booking!
“Definitely a fun place to stop off, grab a drink and get out of the Florida heat for a while. The barman was great as he was dancing whilst making our drinks. I recommend visiting on your holiday - it’s the coolest place in town!”
If you are celebrating a special occasion, or just want to make the night more memorable ICEBAR offers VIP packages for groups of two or more. This includes personal cocktail service and VIP seating in the Fire Lounge, as well as additional add-ons that are customised to your needs. If that is of interest check out the VIP section of the website!
